He could also be under pressure or feeling pressure from Joanne to stay in as long as poss. It's her first series and she seems competitive with Kevin and desperate to stay.

Yeah I see what you mean.....I am starting to have Craig's Kelly flasbacks wiith him


Shouldn't he use any platforms that he has to promote himself I would do the same if I was him......
I said that a few weeks back, he acts just the same with the judges! Loved it when Alesha told him he wasn't as good as he thought he was!

Not when he's shit, no. It's getting to the point now where he is going to end up being saved over far superior dancers. Thom isn't much of a loss really, but he's a better dancer than Scott is.

Personally I'd be mortified if I knew I was rubbish, and was being saved over better dancers. I wouldn't dream of canvassing for votes if I was in Scott'h shoes. He's not showing much humility or charm really, "I want to be here for a Halloween" what? Even at the expense of someone who's better than me and deserves it more?
A poster last week said that her OH who is an expert on facial expressions said scott was showing contempt for the judges comments.

Imagine that subject at school which you were utterly shit at, no matter how hard you tried, and then imagine you had to stand up on live television every week in front of the teachers who taught that subject so they could announce just how shit you were to 9 million people. What kind of face do people want Scott to pull when he gets his results? If he smiled people would say he was deluded.

I can already see Scott Alison and Judy as the top 3... This series is beyond a joke. Having one joke act going through is one thing, but 3? I do happen to like Judy and Anton, but Scott and Alison need mercy killings rather than sympathy votes...

You would laugh and make a joke of it. Judy isn't very good either but the difference is she is showing a sense of humour, she's having a laugh and enjoying the experience, and not taking the comments so seriously.

Since it is a popularity contest surely we can talk about why he's popular? It seems like a mystery to many of us.
Well, He works for radio 1 doesnt he ? And he has a lot of celebrities and other of his colleagues campaigning for him every week so that explains his popularity.....and besides people like to see someone TRY...and I really think that he tries his hardest , bless him

I don't think Scott tries. He has two left feet. He is terrible. A good DJ but a terrible dancer.

Aren't they all trying though?

Scott is just hopeless.

Well in your view that means no audience vote as we have to agree with the judges comments and scores.

The public vote for who they want.

Scott is popular but if he is bad the voters have their own minds and do not have to vote for him,

I have posted many times a way to end this. The top 50% on the leader board each Saturday, go automatically through, so it focuses the vote of on the bottom 50% the so called worst dancers.

Viewers will know they all ( the lower 50%) are at risk, and vote for who they like.
The worst dancers are at greater risk of going out as the good ones are saved and there less surprises. The dance off will have two lower 50% dancers in it, no good ones.


People think the middle range dancers are safe and do not vote for them, this set up avoids thst, and also gives more passion to the dancers to endure their in the top auto saved dancers.

This should continue until we say have eight left in.

Why shouldn't he canvass for votes? He says he's enjoying himself, he likes the show and he gets to learn something new, even if he isn't learning it very well. And unless I am misunderstanding the level of power Scott Mills has over the people of Great Britain, I don't believe his asking for votes compels people to do so.
He doesn't look like he's enjoying himself though. He looks awkard, uncomfortable and frustrated with the whole thing.

I cant stand Scott but people can vote for whoever they want but he should not be allowed to use his BBC Radio show to canvass votes.

I agree. Using his show to canvass votes is very low.

but he seems to think his marks should improve for standing up each week, even though he still gets all the questions wrong....

Actually it is Scott's fault, as he continuously canvases for votes on his radio show. That was fine in the beginning, but he needs to stop now. He's not very good, and he's not even a "so bad he's good" type like Anne Widdecombe or Russell Grant.
Have to agree . He certainly is better at organising the votes and he's got a powerful tool in Radio 1 . I would say very few have heard of Thom .

I think both Scott and Judy are loving their strictly experience, and are both trying hard.

As a celeb it would be mad not to canvas for votes, you'd want to stay in as long as possible, and try and get the public to vote for you.

Sounds like a good idea and workable.

Why wouldn't he mention it, though? He is competing on a popular BBC show. There'd be a huge elephant in the room if he didn't say anything about it. And it's not as if he can actually say directly, 'Please put me out of my misery and stop voting.' All the celebs are contractually obliged to fall in love with dancing and beg to stay in.

Personality does come into it however much people do not think it should and obviously we all have different views about who we like for whatever reason. I have never listened to his radio show, but he seems to have a loyal following so he must have appeal. There are also people who vote for the pro - I think it is a shame she has not been given an opportunity to shine, I have see her on UTube and she is outstanding.

Absolutely. I have seen no improvement or true attempts at dancing. He seems to be surrounded by fans telling him how great he is and I genuinely believe he thinks that his dancing is reasonable. It isn't dancing to me at all.

Well done Thom and Iveta on a fantastic serie even though it was cut short today.
At the end of the day, this show is mostly a popularity contest so I wished some people in this forum would stop vilifying Scott (Im starting to feel a bit sorry for the guy ; He is clearly working really hard and putting the hours in and that has to be commended IMO ) ; Its NOT his fault that the public likes him and vote for him every week.....
I have seen very little bashing of Scott. I have seen a lot of bashing of Scott's dancing (and rightly so) and I have seen a lot of bashing of the public (and rightly so).

Maybe Thom should have used his cousin's radio show to canvass for votes - it has a lot more listeners than Scott.

Oh no I just forgot, Thom has some class !!
