Is Strictly a Farce?
I hope Strictly doesn't become another farce programme and nobody is voted off tonight because Natalie Gumede didn't perform. I know she is ill or in hospital but rules should be adhered too and anyone who isn't there should go out. What's the viewers opinion?

So anybody worried about a performance can send in a sicknote all the way to the finals.

No. Its an entertainment package. I would have thought that was fairly obvious.

i think Natalie should pull out of the competition, sorry to say that but if she's there next week i will never again vote, I never watch or vote for x factor after the same thing happened there. Some dancing is brilliant and some not so good, but at least they were there. Maybe the bottom two next week should do a fainting job.

One bye per couple, and I imagine the last thing Natalie was worried about was her performance, that jive looked potentially fab

Yes.
She has failed to compete. I will say this for any competitor. Any pairing could opt out of expulsion if they give poor performances. |

It is to viewers who are expecting a proper dancing competition. Those who vote for muscles, looks and personality know it isn't.
All it proves is that those viewers are either incredibly stubborn, somewhat delusion and/or really really slow on the uptake.

I would say that if there are viewers still expecting it to be a proper dancing competition after nine years, that doesn't prove it's a farce.

It is a farce, the judges can't even judge properly, overmarking average dances.
Natalie deserves to be there on merit, she has trained hard all week, it's not her fault she is ill. I think she will probably pull out anyway. |

Suppose it's an entertainment show and they're mostly actors who can keep us interested.
Kirsty Soames collapses after seeing hairy bikers Frankfurter sausage. Dr Martin 'Ash' Ashford administers first aid. |

No, it's the highlight of Saturday night. The X Factor is a farce of a show .

The rules are being adhered to, every couple is allowed one week off if they can't perform. Tina had a week off, Jade had a week off but then had pull out. Given there was no chance she was going tonight I'm sure Natalie would have much rather performed than been taken into hospital.

Really changing the subject here, but as i don't want to start another thread with something weird i heard tonight from my niece. Len the judge was talking and my niece said that he is a brilliant ballroom dancer, a welder on the QE2 and was born with two extra toes. How girls find out these things amaze me lol

This is nonsense. Couples can't just "opt out", the BBC requires that a doctor certifies that the person in question isn't fit to dance.
The rule of allowing competitors one week off for injury is well established (see separate thread). Catch up. As for 'catchup' remark, does you no favours when supporting a discussion. |
