I would have said the same about Dave,Mark and Fiona. Fair's fair and no difference with them if they did a Natalie in my opinion. If they don't show, it's time to go!
The rules state otherwise - so live with it.

Bruce has missed 2 weeks now, should he not be excluded.

The fairest thing would be to run the competition the way they all signed up to it taking place, rather than fiddling the rules, and giving people extra weeks. I'm not sure why giving someone a bye because they fainted is any less fair than giving [*insert the spoiler name of this week's eliminee here*] a bye because someone else fainted, which is in effect what you're proposing doing.

What happens if a contestant in the bottom two falls ill or twists something on Saturday night before they have a chance to compete in the dance-off on Sunday?
That's silly question! But i'll answer it.
If they fall before the dance off and can't dance they should be eliminated. That's fair!

No it isn't a farce, there was a good reason why Natalie couldnt perform yesterday and I think its fair that she has gotten a bye to next week, whether or not we will see her dance next week. Im not saying this because Natalie is my favourite I would feel the same about one of the others who fell ill and couldnt perform.

If he was an act well yes! But he's a presenter who was getting treatment for varicose veins so it doesn't count!

If someone phones in sick to work, should everyone else get a day off?

Because NOT having a couple leave this weekend because Natalie is ill is basically the same thing......

You do realise that the Dance Off is recorded on the Saturday .....
No! You are kidding me.

I've always suspected that some people know the results before the dance off happens.

Yes i know i do moan but how would you feel if you were one of the acts getting booted off this week. I'm only moaning for them! I just want things to be done fair even though some of the dances were bad.
I might be a big moaner but come on let's make it fair.
If whoever did get kicked out last night imagines that they have stolen Natalie and Artem's place as the eliminated couple, then they'd have to be completely off their onion.
Personally, I doubt that we'll see Natalie and Artem in any dance off.

Same could apply to this.
I remember reading a few months ago in the paper about a prisoner who kept saying he was too sick and collapsing to face the judge. The same judge said nobody is never that ill, demanded they go and get him and stop this stupid tax payers waste and ludicrous situation.
