- no male pro for Joanna Clifton, remember - so they thought 'it won't matter, try your best' would not be noticed by the viewers.

Oh for God's sake, he was injured, what the hell did he think he was doing singning up for SCD. Madness. Dreadful decision. Stupid really imo
![]() Should have waited until next year, when hopefully he will be fit. It was a ridiculous thing to do and IF he is now coming accross publicly as a sore looser...it wasn't the best idea at all. |

I don't know, but a lot of people said it here as well pre-series when they were playing the "guess who's got who" game. People said they expected that Oti wouldn't get Anthony or Ainsley because they wouldn't partner two black people together.

I thought he came across as a nice bloke. Not the sharpest knife in the draw but this isn't Brain of Britain. He wouldn't have lasted that much longer as is, but he may have been better uninjured.
I do think the idea of a fan base is a bit weird. Do people really see who's on and vote for them week after week regardless? I suppose they must do. |

On DWTS there is always usually someone with no legs or someone with only one arm and one leg. They tend to make it into the final.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1MdkvhKM78 Noah and Sharna So maybe he wanted to be in the final? He also had a bit more dance talent than Anthony imho. |

Good luck to him. Actually went up in my estimation. There is far too much stage managed nonsense surrounding the actual dancing. Everyone trying to say the right thing so they don't rock the boat and potentially lose some votes.

Maybe Strictly producers only had a contigency for one drop-out before the show started. Joanna has no partner this year so perhaps her partner dropped out and Agogo was improbably kept in the show despite a clear injury.

Its perfectly possible to dance well with a missing limb. Check this one legged dancer out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzs9QR3p29M But some one who is permanently without an arm or leg is different to someone trying to recover from an injury. The former have time to relearn and adjust their balance and movement to the way their body is. A temporary injury won't just stop you losing the arm but will mean you are off your familiar axis etc. |

If the intention had been for Joanne to have a celeb partner this year, there would have been an extra week and - given the nature of TV scheduling as I understand it - subsequently reducing the number of celebs and hence how long the series would run for would have been a massive headache for the BBC. I doubt it was ever the intention for Joanne to partner a celebrity, or at least it wasn't the idea for a very long time.

A temporary injury won't just stop you losing the arm but will mean you are off your familiar axis etc. Exactly my thoughts. A person with injury won't even be making an effort to learn to live with the injury, their goal is to heal from the injury, which are two completely different scenarios and the physical therapy etc for them is very different. |

Strictly - It Takes Two Series 13: Episode 11
Anthony clearly frustrated. He felt by week 5 he would have been able to use his shoulder. He said from week 1 to week 2 to week 3 there had been progress in his shoulder. In week 1 he couldn't high five or put his T-shirt on. But by week 3 he was beginning to create small movements in his shoulder. He feels he is out before having really gotten going. Zoe Ball said (it was unfair) the judges didn't take into account his injured shoulder. He said he would have liked to have been able to stay until about week 7 - 8. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...-13-episode-11 |

Surely they could have roped in someone from Holby/Casualty to do it though? But yes it does seem like she was supposed to have someone, why else have her there?

I might would assume that maybe she was busy or didn't bother to show up for enough training - except for Anton's bizarre running around her - at least HE could have done decent cha cha steps while she stood there? He should have learned that from all these years of watching the female pros dance around their duds!
