Things must be serious if they dragged Len the head judge in.

Len throwing the others under the bus here by confirming the judges are meant to judge on the dance off dance only.

I still love the singer who did the Tina Turner song.

I don't agree Len, and actually, Craig scored Peter 2 POINTS lower than Jamelia.

Wasn't close though Len, the eights were bloody MAD.

But I expected this.

What kick or flick I wonder. I didn't see any.

Obviously got more coverage than they hoped for so couldn't just sweep it under the carpet - good

"Told by the producers" therein lies the problem.

Judges should just judge, they know what they're doing.

Len is thick as shit - silly to wheel him out.

Len thought Peter improved - then why did he choose to save Jamelia?

Very watered down criticism mind, probably too scared to read out anything from this forum

hmmm I expected him to say they could take past performance into it.
However, I don't think he's lying.

Exactly but you could tell it was a fix by Darcey's reaction and Len is letting them off the hook.

Len, you are not supposed to judge on gut feeling, you should judge on technique.

This is evasive - why not deal with what Jamelia claimed?

I don't know why they are bothering with this, no one is going to take any notice. We all know he will just toe the company line.

But Len those 2 points were fixed. Peter was overmarked deliberately to keep him in.

This explanation by Len seems to be for Peters benefit as well

Even if the others thought Peter had improved (was worse imo) a slight improvement wouldn't be enough to move him to a higher score than Jamelia for Darcy and Craig from their previous ones. Especially as she improved more noticeably, reducing the gapping.
