Firstly , delighted Natalie's back. That is unequivocal.

Now...in the very sad and now entirely theoretical instance that she hadn' t been, would you like to keep up the numbers by voting someone back in, and if so, who?

No

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.

Deborah.

I don't like the idea of revoting someone in because invariably they will just be sent out again and it feels like kicking a puppy and then kicking it again. :/

Good point.....
except,,,,
if they have to garner a large vote to get back in then it may signal an intention to show them some support in future.

The idea of reinstating an evictee if Natalie withdraws is compelling, given that the program will badly need the controversy should that happen.

I doubt it would go to the public vote though, as the brighter celebs who fell victim to the judges' tactical marking would likely tell them to take a running jump.

In this pure hypothetical scenario that would never happen. I would vote for Austin Healey to return

What ? I can't ? Not this series ? Oh ok. Deborah then

I bet there is something in the rules if there were too many injuries but not one or two, we have had finals with less dancers in them.

Not keen on the idea of voting people back in, but if it were a possibility I'd vote for Deborah.

Looking back through the thread so far, Deborah would be a cert for any 'vote in'.

I think the BBC have a double elimination round later in the competition just in case a dancer has to pull out. That double elimination would become a single elimination without any problem.

Agreed. But I really can't see the PTB meekly accepting the drop in viewing figures should Natalie be forced to withdraw.

Would live to se Deborah back

We might not live to see Deborah back but I hope you love to see it just the same.

An excellent idea!

Deborah.

From past series, Gethin Jones. The male contestants did a shake up!

But only if you can guarantee he'll do the Argentine Tango!

I will insist on it!

What a convoluted nonsensical pointless hypothetical thread.........!

But what a pointless response to it if you find it pointless.

It's hypothetical, so everyone's allowed to dream about the possibilites.

No,the thread exists.

Nice one

I wouldn't want him back in the competition but I miss Julian Mcdonalds huge grin, everytime the celebs went to Tess's pit, he'd be there in the background nodding and grinning (probably the only one)

Dancer- Deborah.

If it were open to a public vote, it'd probably be Russell Grant, or John Sergeant.

But not as pointless as your thread on your Doctor friend's theories.

I would definitely vote for Deborah, I miss her joyful partnership with Robin.
