Sadly the DS forum moron cleansing has yet to begin.
Never gonna happen
It is isn't it.
Well as far as I'm concerned the OP is now on "ignore" for me!
I'm sure they are gutted.
Or it's the not-very-good-dancer cleansing.
Sane truth, what good is that on here.
Of course that explanation doesn't suit some people's rather bigoted agenda.
I think they might just be a bit bored.

3rd worst contestant eliminated 2nd is a pattern that pretty much happens every year on Strictly.

And Iwan wasn't black, so whats with "continues"?

The use of the word 'moron' as a term of abuse is offensive no matter what the context.
Depends which of the two offered definitions you go for. I assume you've gone for the second one. He'll need a bloody good lawyer to defend himself against accusations of the first

Reasons why Anthony went out
- He's got an injured arm (probably unbalances the choreography more than people think)
- Nobody knows who he is
- He's not overly charismatic
- He's got no timing
- He got the hard rock Paso
- It's impossible to take a matador shape when you're being a boxer
- He's done three poorish dances in a row
-

Take your pick. Nothing wrong with the guy, he had potential, but it's not unreasonable for him to go.
I agree with all bar one of this post.

Both he and his partner, new to SCD have a very limited fan base.

He would always be at a disadvantage because of his injury. Trying to achieve a Paso was a big ask. Out of all the dances this one exposes the shoulder injury more than others. From what I saw he came across as a lovely guy. Yes his dancing wasn't great but I thought he had potential. The jive was good for a first dance.
If he didn't have the injury who knows...Oti I think did a fabulous job creating routines around his shoulder injury. I really liked her and hope she's there next year and gets a partner with two workable arms!
I think this is where the lack of the training VT's doesn't help. You don't get a sense of the person at all nor the relationship between the couple. The silly Vt's we do get are so contrived.
Anyway, I think he had a good innings. I didn't immediately think ' he's black so he's unpopular with the british public' I just thought the injury probably didn't help and he because of it his dancing didn't shine.

Not when the thread starter is clearly trolling. Suggesting the voting in a family tv dancing show has anything in common with "ethnic cleansing" is moronic.
While I don't necessarily disagree with you, I'd suggest that if you think an OP is "clearly trolling", it's probably better to ignore and not give them the satisfaction of provoking a reaction.

I don't think Iwan Thomas was voted off the show because he was welsh. He was voted off the show because he couldn't dance. Anyway why would they have invited a welsh man onto the show if they didn't like the welsh. You really aren't making any sense at all.

Agree.

Proves the OP Thread starter, wrong.

To be fair to the OP out of four contestants that have been in the dance off so far three of them have been black. The only three (out of 15) black contestants in the competition. In no way am I saying Strictly voters have some racist agenda and only voting for white people out of spite. Yes, it could be a coincidence. But, I can see why it is something that's picked up and can't see why it shouldn't be discussed without everyone jumping down the throat of anyone who mentions it.

True. I just find the thread title offensive, but the best course of action is probably to ignore it.
