Really, honestly, nothing. This is as much about personalities as it is about dancing. We know that. People who are loved have as much advantage as people who are trained.
Thankfully .. Jay is both

An alternative sweepstake in the wake of this result would also not be unreasonable for Monday. Could not believe the amount of times Tristan looked at himself on the monitor to the left of Zoe on screen, whilst on ITT last week Gleb noticeably often has a quick sly peek at the end of an interview, but Tristan was just doing it constantly. It was very distracting to bother to pay attention what they were saying, over trying to count how many times he did it by the end of the interview.

Kirsty V Jamelia

KIRSTY OUT

I've thought that from the start! And several people on the Facebook Strictly site have mentioned it, going back to at least week 2.

Agree, it would be a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, she would normally be in better shape by now if training hard enough.

But you don't vote for the best dancer; you vote for the best dancer "in your opinion".

[quote=ticketyboo10;80199461] Anton and Brendan are letting their partners down, coz they are so up themselves. I do feel bad for Kirsty because like Carol, she had really awful music, and Brendan has checked out.
Katie had no excuse as they had fantastic music.

I know I have sort of cut most of your post out (sorry)but why are Anton and Brendan up themselves and letting their partners down.? They appear to be doing the best with their ladies and both are very supportive when the judges strike. Then suddenly they are the worst pros on the show letting their partners down. Will all their 'bashers be happy when they leave the show and we have new pros that come in with no personalities at all and just want to show of their bodies by forever ripping off their shirt etc. These two are hard working pro dancers who at times can knock the socks off the other dancers and I am fairly sure they help the new pros settle in by giving them words of advice probably included in this is don't read some of the posts on DS otherwise you will feel useless and not want to dance for fear of another slating.
Please don't think I am blaming you personally but your post has set me off.

Good job we have the spoiler already - my mole left her phone at the hotel, & STILL hasn't texted me

Still, if so, I'm a bit surprised that Strictly didn't send word to the judges to save Ainsley over her - or even Iwan. Well, maybe not Iwan

If you get this one right, I want a heads up for every future week. I will be heading to the bookies .

Well, we would have got it tonight in any case - thanks to YOU (and dmolyneaux)! Maybe the mole found out it's been revealed by using someone else's phone?

This is nothing new.
Why did people keep voting for John Sargeant?
Why did people keep voting for Widdy?
Why did people keep voting for Judy Moo?

I never, EVER recall Brucie or Tess or Claudia saying "Vote for the best dancer". It's always "Vote for your favourite" or "Vote if you want to see X and Y dance next week", or something similar.
It really ISN'T a dancing competition.
To repeat what others have said in many other threads here, it's a Saturday night entertainment show for family viewing. Is that so hard to understand

Sorry, rant over

Thanks abigailsmum and monaogg for sterling efforts on the thread and to our mole tonight.

Hello there.

Possible, but unlikely - she did say it would be after 11!!!

Hey - where have you been? Missed your statistics this evening

Dunno if this has been done yet, but:
Jamelia was less popular than Kellie, Peter, Jeremy, Katie and Carol (in other words: very unpopular indeed)
Kirsty was less popular than Carol and Katie

I'm from Lancashire - I don't vote at all. I sit back with a glass (or 17) of wine. Tight as a gnat's chuff, me.

I remember Kelly Brook saying that Brendan had given her strict instructions not to read social media sites.

I went out straight after the show to a party next door.

In any case, I think it's been AMAZING that you've had the correct result of who went home every week this series.

Because people like her and Pasha is popular so that's a vote winning combo.

Now it's a matter of who has the bigger fanbase. Presumably Jamelia will be in the dance off again but who with? Carol? Katie? I think all three of those are likely to go before Jeremy at this rate.

Obviously he knew about the travesty that was the Bacofoil outfit before she did

Ahhh - hope you had a good evening x

Well, that's easily remedied. From now on I'll vote for the best dancer in your opinion.

Oh good Kirsty out, stiff stick of bark.

Jamelia does not deserve it but coming near the bottom of the leaderboard means it is inevitable she is in the dance off. The rubbish dancers are too popular.
