Can we just leave it now? At least they addressed the concerns
Move along... nothing to see here.

Natalie was easily fooled by Oti's orrible mess with baked beans.

This looks good.

Right, they could possibly have done a bit more than just say "there was only two points in it" repeatedly for most of it, but I don't see what else the BBC could have done, and good on them for addressing it directly rather than ignoring it.

Of course the producers haven't told them what to score. Anyone who thinks that they do and it hasn't already leaked is very naive.

Fair point that the scores were close. Len basically saying he thinks Jamelia was better but the problem is the dance off decision is opinion. And yes that's EXACTLY the issue. The other three think Peter is a better dancer overall and so voted for him despite the idea that they're only supposed to judge on the dance off.

Len didn't look like he was lying but I'm still dubious.

Also, a family member has just mentioned to me that Len said "Peter improved on his dance." He didn't say it was better than Jamelia was though.

Yay, Ainsley!

It's all the props fault!

Should be recorded as live, clear the props out of shot, simple.

People pay money to vote for their favourites so it's not very fair if they are fixing it for someone to stay in.
Then why didn't you vote for Jamelia to stay in? She was in the bottom for a reason, plus most people vote for free on the website, people need to get over it, no one's dead

Why not interview Jamelia again so we can hear her side of the story rather than this poor attempt at a BBC whitewash.


No Len, anyone can't win it and you know it
Please don't put Jamelia on us again Holly - i have had enough of this nonsense!

As damage limitation it didn't work for me.

Len didn't address the fact the Peter danced badly both times and was still saved.

The producers don't interfere with the judging, says Len. Anyone believe him ?

I agree with Len on drawing a line under this incident.

Instead of Len being made to do this interview, couldn't they get Craig, Darcey or Bruno?
It would have been more interesting from the POV of some who actually chose to save Peter ...

They were better off saying nothing anymore. Len just made things worse. Worst damage limitation.

I would love to know if the judges know the order of the public vote, from one week to next

They aren't, they never were, it's too stupid a theory to have any serious credibility

I can just imagine Len being thoroughly peed off at being dragged away from his fish supper to defent himself/the show.

Isn't that cheating Natalie that you have got Ainsley to help you?

It looks DELICIOUS though.

I guess the BBC were hoping that the disquiet would stay on here but now that it has hit the tabloids they are making a ham-fisted attempt at damage limitation.

I can't see it working because it doesn't ring true.
