Now that phone voting has closed and cannot be influenced, please have your say. Poll requested from the Mods.

Sorry, I don't understand

What collusion? Was Jason overmarked - very possibly yes, Did he belong behind Holly probably not. Does it make any difference - no not when whichever of Holly or Jason gets most votes goes through anyway - unless you assume the public vote follows the inflated 40 mark.

do you mean to get into the final? or the final itself is fixed? or do you mean there is one week when there is no collusion? or did it all go wrong when Russell was voted out prematurley?

The poll question:

It's TV

I don't think the CIA are involved...

but it is digital TV FBI?

Collusion? How? Who were they trying to favour? Harry and Chelsee were the best two and so fair enough. Had Chelsee and Harry been the the other way round on the leaderboard it wouldn't have made much difference, they're both safe.If they were trying to save one of the others, well they didn't do a very good job did they?

Well, thanks very much for mentioning their positions in a thread that isn't marked as a spoiler.

That was the positions at the end of the show - that isn't a spoiler!

It isn't a spoiler. Only the result is a spoiler.

Judges marks are publicly known. There is no mention in this thread of phone vote totals requiring a spoiler.

Too early yet for a result. Its the positions at the end of the show

oh PS - no I dont think so, I think they judged what they saw pretty well the way I saw it.

Oops, you're right - sorry!

I believe with Jason in the final the BBC think it will be a better ratings draw than with either Holly or Alex. Make of that what you will.

Panick is as Panick does dont worry abt it x

I love this comment...I think perhaps there is a danger of becoming a little too caught up in the "politics" of a reality show lol

There's always politics in a reality show.
This like any other is principally designed to chase ratings.

All good fun though.

But perhaps they should be!

I couldn't see anything wrong with the judges' marking tonight..well, apart from being too high all round but I'm not going to start debating that for the umteenth time.
There were six excellent dances, Harry x 2, Chelsee x 2, Jason x 1 , and Holly x 1. Where you put Harry and Chelsee is debatable, but for me Harry just edged it over two dances.
It was more clear cut between Jason and Holly..in my opinion. Holly's Charleston was poor (and I say that as someone who wants to see Holly go through to the final) and Jason was clearly better over the two dances.
So, I can't see any problem with the leader board positions.

Who do you think they overmarked to get into the final?
Chelsee? She got a 36 for her first dance and was pulled up for her mistakes.
Harry? He didn't get the full score for his VW that apparently Ola thought he deserved.
Jason? Got a 35 for his Samba
Holly? 2nd from the bottom.
Alex?!!

We've run out of competitors there!

How were they colluding? The top two were not only the best on the night but are also the most likely to get through on public support so they aren't likely to need any help. Holly is second from bottom so they haven't done a very good job of helping her and they've put Jason in 3rd place which is exactly where he was last week when he was in the bottom two with one more couple. Worst colluding evah tbh.

IT'S ALL A FIX


Sack Alesha! Bring back Karen! Bring back Ian!

Less Charleston! More Charleston! Less Camera Angles! More Camera Angles! Bring Back The Lindyhop!

MORE BACOFOIL SHOWDANCE TITTYRHUMBA!

They're all ringers! They're all not good enough! I want MORE SEX! I want MORE DANCING!


Am I doing this right?

both the Forty marks were undeserved and I say that as a Chelsee lover

if you listen to the judges REMARKS if Jason deserved a 40 for his AT so did Holly and they also should not have given 9 to Jason after his samba which they pointed out timing mistakes and other issues
