I really think that they do. This explains some weird overmarking in some weeks and dodgy judges comments. The way they comment as if they know how a particular contestant will be there next week or not makes me think they do.
I don't think they know all of the orders, but ave a word, it's pretty obvious they would really, I mean what reality show doesn't have production pulling the strings?

If all scoring and decisions were down to the judges alone, there is no way certain contestants would ever be given a ten by the likes of Craig.

I wouldn't be surprised if Peter top the leaderboard this weekend; yes even though his training looks crap at the moment.
He will show 'massive improvement', that no one will be able to really see unless they see through fan glasses and squint.

And get nines.

The judges are supposed to judge on the dance off which Len confirmed - They didn't.

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

I think the way the questions and answers were scripted, he didn't have to actually lie
Yes, cleverly done. Still not buying it though.


I was annoyed by Len banging on about there only being two points difference - yes, but only because Peter was ridiculously overmarked in the first place! If it had been marked fairly, he'd have been lucky to scrape four 6s

There must have been a lot of complaints to address the situation like that.

Poor Helen was in tears after the judges' comments on Saturday but at least she got a good hug from Aljaz so all good.

Zoe looking uncomfortable there!

Judging by the training so far, who looks worst?

I think Peter or Katie.
Poor Zoe. This hasn't been an easy week for her .

PM me your address, I'd like to send you a bouquet of flowers
You're welcome Seriously the whole 'IT'S A FIX!' screaming is bonkers.

But it was so obvious Jamelia danced better than Peter in the dance off. Even Len thought so on Saturday. That's why people are annoyed.
So what? They voted on the basis that they thought Peter was the better dance overall. It's not in the spirit of the dance off but it's not like the judges have never shown such bias before! The only reason people are really kicking off now is because they hate Peter.

I really thought something happened to Helen last week even the way she walked down the steps over to the judges. She looked exhausted!

I'm sure the massive pay cheque and wardrobe allowance is a great comfort for her.

But he may not have been if one or two of the others danced worse. Craig was the only one who scored him correctly. He didn't deserve more than 5's.
I see what you mean.

Though I'm at a loss as to why they would go to such lengths to keep Peter in for will probably be only one more week. Overall, Jamelia was the more entertaining contestant and was better for the programme in my judgement.

Hate Peter The very thought.

I just LOVED the generous way he said that Jamelia danced her best, and he danced his worst, and went on about how he had got tens an' all.

All in such a kind and 'umble' way. He's a darling.

Len scored 8 for both Jamelia and Peter on their original dances. Len has now watched it back again and thinks Peter improved in the dance off. Why then would he still have put Jamelia through? Arch hypocrisy from the fading Cockley wide boy and 3 days too late.

He will be dancing in a cloud of dry ice vapour, which only the judges will be able to magically see through.

Nines? What are you on? It'll be four tens at least - they might even add on some bonus points!

I know she was upset, but Helen's "I can't dance any harder!" comment still makes me laugh. It's all very Fame.

I agree, and in my opinion, ALL of the weeks she was in the dance off, she SHOULDN'T have been.

Not at all. The judges didn't think Peter danced better in the DO. They based their decisions on Peters overall performances in the series so far which they are not supposed to do. Len even confirmed this. And Craigs earlier scores and comments contradict this.

I think the fact that the row has hit the tabloids will have stung the BBC. Especially comments about Strictly and XFactor being as 'fixed' as each other.

In a way it's a testament to viewer power and Jamelia not being prepared to stay on message
