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.

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

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!

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