Thank you for everything Abigailsmum, no problem at all. You are the best!! I think this forum shows just how much we all respect each other, which is great. Spinny chairs to the ready for next week!

James Jordan hits out at chiefs favouring Peter Andre

I haven't been watching strictly very long but last year and now this year he has come across as the most bitter person ever. Why can't he stop slagging it off? Let's face it, nothing was saving Ola this season regardless of how much they favour anyone else.

Oh I love this thread and the show wouldn't be half as fun without it! It was a major relief to know both AM's sources had Iwan going home!! Thanks so much for all you do Abigailsmum!!!

I can't believe anyone is genuinely annoyed that the second hand info you both got was inaccurate. It's all just a bit of fun over a tv show......and you were halfway right.

Apologies unnecessary as many others have already said! In the absence of a proper mole, you did an excellent job of digging round for the info and we were aware from what you said that there was a chance that the info wouldn't be 100% accurate, because we didn't have a forum member or friend/family member of same passing on the info to you like we usually had last year.


This!

Sadly, I don't really know anyone who is likely to go. I only know a few people who still regularly go to TV recordings and they aren't Strictly fans. However, if I hear of anything, I'll let you know, and hopefully other people will too.

Well, be surprised no more. There was no official mole, and Twitter was mercifully wrong! Watching the actual results show is the best proof of the pudding.
Hooray!

Two thirds right actually. Iwan in dance off was right. Iwan eliminated was right. Kirsty in dance off was wrong

I got a couple of annoyed tweets and messages on Facebook but the overwhelming majority have seen past it and seen that not only was the important part of the result (who was eliminated) right but that this is my 4th year of posting the spoiler to the blog and the first time it has been wrong

The person who posts the spoiler publicly on Twitter (but thankfully not to the #SCD hashtag this year unlike last) has been getting a bit of flack from what I've seen. Since they copied and pasted spoilers from my site last year (complete with typos) I don't have too much sympathy for them

No apologies needed; the call follows what info is available. There is the thought that the misleading info is being driven deliberately. BBC production office?

Iwan didn't seem to have much time for practising, so probably just as well he's gone out now.

I wasn't surprised that Jamelia was in the B2 - well, I was, but only because I was expecting Kirsty

I thought the first time through that her dance was very ungraceful, and it was just as bad the second time. I know some of it was choreography, but she seemed to do a lot of squatting and thrusting and not that much actual dancing. And they'd done something to her hair which meant it kept getting in her face which didn't help.

Hahah they used the #SCD tag last year? Oh that is funny!!

I am glad Iwan left. He was like a tree trying to move. Plus he deserved to go on that hideous tattoo alone.

To me, Kirsty (like Kellie) seems someone who's always behind a veneer of 'performance', like she always has her presenter (actress) persona on.


Perhaps the OTT dislike is because of some of her comments on Loose Women.

Thanks, Jamelia, for your nasty judgment of fat people. We’ve heard it all before

'I only meant ABOVE size 20': Jamelia defends her opinion that high street stores should stop selling plus-size clothes in the face of bitter backlash

If she'd made similar comments about the very thin, she'd have been fine.


I've enjoyed Jamelia's dances so far, and Kirsty & Brendan's Salsa reminded me of the over-reliance on lifts that was such a problem with Dancing on Ice. I don't think I've seen anything like it on SCD before.

Hmmmmm In just 60 hours achieving a quarter of a million views, a drama and a forum crash. I think this thread will go down as one that made quite a mark!

James does have a point, as I'm fed up of the judges favouritism to Peter and jay.

Hmmm. On Ola's periscope Sunday night they were both going on about wanting Janette to win this year and how lovely Peter is. Wonder if they already knew this was coming out and it was damage control - or if this is just simply fabricated. (though they ARE over marking Peter, but I'm not sure they have him chalked up to be their winner as they're letting him peak too soon, if so). I imagine Jay's the one they have their sights on. To be fair, it's one of the rules of reality shows that you have to keep some men in it till the end, and there are sparse pickings this time around.

The judges are deliberately sticking to what they've been told by louise rainbow who is executive producer, it's all scripted for them to promote a male to win.

I totally agree with you, Tall Paul. And I think they've followed a script since Year 1. A very elaborate one - with most everybody put in an intended-finish slot and the entire show designed to achieve the result they want, with only minor adjustments. They probably already have the tour cast pretty much set - and probably chose the celebs with that already in mind.

The tattoos are vile! We don't have to see them now.

Len and Darcey are doing my head in with their favouritism especially, Bruno is the only judge on there that is impartial and CRH is consistent in marking. To me len and Darcey need to up their game or be shipped out.

Ummmmmm? What on earth is "Ola's periscope" please?

Just pray they won't sell this very successful manipulation scheme to political parties, you'd be like puppets in their hands, again

On Twitter, you can do a live video and people tweet questions (and hearts) and the periscope-maker (video-maker) answers them. She did one tonight from their house. They're only available for a limited number of hours (I think.) You may need to have an account on twitter. Here's a link but I don't know if it's still working:

Tonight James tweeted this!

Now Ola's out hopefully @bbcstrictly can stop selling horrible stories about her.
But thanks BBC for publicising her 2016 calendar 👍

Ugh that man is vile.

Thanks for that. I don't have anything to do with Facebook or Twitter, which is why I didn't know. The nearest I get to social media is on this lovely thread!
