Celebs next year to be pre-trained?
The judges obviously have their favourites and it's plain to see the pre-trained celebs Jay, Helen and Kellie are favoured this year over the others.
Jay and Kellie have both had dances with mistakes that the judges conveniently ignore, and don't get me started on Helen getting Adele's 'Hello' for her dance this week... I really feel for the ones who start from bugger all, being made to look inadequate against contestants with unfair advantages. |

Perhaps they should let the viewers have a vote to even things up a bit. 😵

Sorry when did they forget to penalise Jay for a mistake?

Not most of them, 4 as far as we know. I doubt Ewan, Jeremy, Ainsley, Carol, Jamelia, Kirsty, katie, Peter or Anita have had any training prior to the show.
Agreed in theory but if you were going on a dance show would you not sneak a few lessons in? |

Jamilia and Peter are on stage and do choreographed dances with professionals and are trained by the choreographers ......

Jeremy and Carol haven't been in the dance off yet. There's a reason for that.

You don't mean that speaking to millions of people everyday about their experience might be an advantage? Surely not?

and being a member of a popular boyband?
I'd imagine being in a boyband for a few years that's on hiatus with most of the fans having probably moved on is far less of an advantage than being a current pop star and tabloid darling with over 3M followers and a current album in the charts and weekly appearances on the biggest daytime shows if we want to play tit for tat on advantages. We all know there are loads of different advantages so let's cut out the silliness and just accept, in no way will it ever be completely fair, and that's what the public vote is for and why they tell you to vote for your favourite. |

Even if they all started at zero and got training some would respond better than others, there really isn't a way to level the playing field IMO

Hey I never said he didn't have an advantage being in a boy and, but it's silly to pretend some dance lessons is the only advantage you could ever have in Strictly.

In fairness, I don't remember Carol's weather reports running "there's thick fog all over the south east today and also all these shimmies are chafing my nipples something chronic".

It's more subliminal, she does a Jay arm waft every time she points at the weather map

Jay does however seem to have all the advantages, what with dance training for 6 six years and then being a member of a popular boy band. He really does have a massive head start over every one else whatever excuses are made for him.

How long would the programme last if the only competitors were Jereme Vine, Carol Kirkwood, Anne Widdecombe, John Sergeant ....... There might be some novelty value but viewing figures would plummet.

I'm sure banking the massive bag of cash they get for doing the show salves their wounds somewhat.
