You may well be right, but I think most people understood that TomChambersgate was a genuine cokeup, and Pixie vs Simon was pretty close (much more so than tonight). Can't remember Gabby vs Penny, so maybe it wasn't quite such a big deal.
Tonight reminded my husband of that row - and he's not a Strictly fan. |

I agree but, on the whole we normally get the right final - even if we don't always get the right result (Colinwuzrobbed
). What is surprising is how the programme got this one so wrong. I think they were gambling on the Jamilia's lack of support to sweep the judges choice under the carpet. What they weren't expecting was the huge gap in the execution of the routines by Peter and Jamilia, to the point that even a complete novice could see she was much better than him in the DO. |

Last night's spoiler mole reported that at the end of Andre's dance the audience did not give a standing ovation,. The audience were then instructed to stand up and applaud for a "second take".
Certainly fits with the idea that the result was directed by the producers. |

Never, the public will really have it in for him now. I will be very surprised if he survives next week.

None of this is Peter or Janette's fault though

They could admit that Jamelia was the better dancer on the night and withdraw. It's not their fault that the producers told the panel how to vote but if they accept that panel's decision they are in fact colluding in a deception (that the better dancer on the night was saved) and that is their fault.

Certainly fits with the idea that the result was directed by the producers. I just caught up on IPlayer and thought people were overreacting but there really was a very obvious difference between the two, Jamelia upped her game and Peter seemed to get worse rather than improve. I'm not a fan of either of them so I can't say I am sad to see her go but if the judges really are meant to judge based solely on the dance off performance then Jamelia should be through quite easily. |

It did look rather odd in the show. Peter finishes his routine. You see a wide shot of the audience, clapping, sat down on both sides of the ballroom, then back to a close up of Peter and then a close up of the right hand side of the audience now stood up clapping.
Tess then walks in from the left past the audience on that side who are clapping but sat down. Only the right hand side gave him a standing ovation ![]() |

So it's not too much of a stretch to suggest that he's familiar with the manipulation that occurs on the show.

By that reasoning all the dancers who continue, all the wardrobe, make-up, lighting, and the fans who continue to vote are colluding in deception too

I just listened to the judges picks with my eyes shut - when Tess announces Peter and Janette are through, the crowd cheers, but in a very standard way.
When Len declares that he wouldn't have agreed, but would have voted for Jamelia and Tristan, the crowd cheers far more enthusiastically, and it sounds more spontaneous and less polite. |

Last night's farce will have done untold damage to the reputation of SCD, plus now we have the pros joining in, intimating a fix . |

Darcey looked particularly sheepish when giving her flimsy excuse as to why she chose Andre

The whole world knows that it was a fix, and SCD (and Andre) will suffer as a result.

I remember going to see the xf tour years ago, everyone loved James Arthur I couldn't stand him I think I was the only person sitting down but I don't bloody care I'm not standing clapping someone I dislike, I'd be doing the same with Peter .. banned from the Tower but it would be worth it

strictly lost it's shine around two series ago. Ola is right there are too many celebs with prior dance experience now.

I cannot believe that Strictly is 'fixed'. This is doing Peter's profile no good at all - first his trial and now this. |
