All three Judges, Craig, Darcey and Bruno have had a lot of vitriol directed at their Twitter Accounts, asking them why why why ?

So Darcey must be aware of the feeling of the majority of the GBP.

One of them should have the self respect to say something, but it's looking like they are all shutting up shop about this.

Sadly for them , don't think it's going to go away that easily this time

I popped the tv on at 8.50 and completely missed Darcy, but sounds like I didn't miss much! It will be interesting to see what Tristan and Jamelia will say on ITT this evening though.

Apart from James, Darren & Ainsley who has made comments in favour of Jamelia.

I just did a quick look on twitter to see if anything has been said by the Pro's and past and present Celebs, ZILCH!

Either the BBC have told everyone to keep silent about this or everyone is too scared to voice an opinion.
Anyone who is being paid by the BBC will have a clause in their contract along the lines of not being controversial, critical or 'bringing the show/corporation into disrepute'. They have no choice.

It's standard practice. We pay you so you do not talk about how we manage this farce, without our clearance and a sign off.

Why on earth would anyone think that it would be a free for all? It's the BBC. Control is everything.

Something just occurred to me as a possibility - well, I first thought of it when I saw this tweet yesterday:

SCD_Live_Tour ‏@SCD_Live_Tour

Who would you save? RT for @MrPeterAndre. Favourite for @Jamelia. #strictly

Once before, the "Live-Tour" Twitter account did a tweet that caught my eye -- they asked if people would like to see Jamelia's Charleston in the tour.

And Ainsley is doing the tour and he commented on the faked standing ovation.

Well, anyway, IF they wanted Jamelia on the tour, before this happened, I don't think she'd have much of a 'story', if that makes any sense, but now, she does.

Don't know why I'm nattering on because we'll find out soon enough if she's doing the tour but I think they need at least one more woman - so is it Helen or maybe Jamelia, with this new outrage-scandal behind her?

I doubt she'd want to. I also think that she's expecting her next child - which is lovely. Why schlep around the country for a tatty show when you can live real life instead?

I always held Darcy in high esteem, her comments to dancers were always constructive. Sadly she has blown that sky high, she has no integrity left.

Good points. And she's either pregnant or thick-waisted - I guess I'd finally decided it was the latter but I can't wait to finally find out!

Didn't that go last year when she saved Steve 'for his guns'?

I have a conspiracy theory that she's pregnant and thought she'd have been eliminated before now, so was keen to be released from the show. However I am fully prepared to admit that this may be a sign that too much time on DS has utterly rotted my brain and I've fallen down the reality tv worm-hole

It has nothing to do with her integrity, and everything to do with a water tight contract. You do not seem to know how the BBC works. Fair enough.

Truth: ' We pay you so you do as we say.' You can blame her, but she will not have had a choice. It is very naive to think she gets to choose The BBC decide.

However, she is known for being down to earth and straightforward and what has happened will upset her and go against her ideals and how she works.

I think there will be a change and I am now wondering how long she will stay after this

Or was told to say that.

Oh, for sure - but at the very least it showed she is willing to compromise for a continued contract

Well, Tristan has form for not being ultra-diplomatic, but I'm thinking that even he won't say too much if he's interested in returning next year.
[On the other hand, if he's had enough of the Strictly experience, it might just be quite interesting tonight!]

I've fallen down in that hole with you, Alice

If she IS pregnant, it would help explain how well she's handled being in the bottom two so often - she's got a lot more exciting things going on in her life than this nonsense.

She posted this Instagram of her and her boyfriend with the caption, "Hellish Night - Heavenly Morning" (after one of the dance offs)

He's been quite out of control this year on ITT so I really hope he continues that form tonight.

Not just the BBC. Thats how employment law works. Do as they say or lose your job.

Is Jamelia scheduled to be on Loose Women this week? I wonder if they'll air an opinion. Loose Women is on ITV, so they don't need to toe the BBC's corporate line.
I doubt whether she will criticise as she will come over as a bad loser. As she said on the programme, she never expected to get this far. If she got through the Dance Off then she would be unlikely to last more than another week,

Nothing, nada, zilch, zero. What a surprise. The corporation closing ranks.
What could she say? You cannot expect her to reveal any private comments from the other judges. I don't believe the conspicacy theorists' version of them being told how to vote. I think she was just emotional because it was a close decision and they have got close to all the competitors so it is hard to eliminate anyone.

Which is why I don't understand the hysteria over this. Jamelia was on her fifth dance-off! I've never known anyone in one of these TV shows with a public vote (and I've watched quite a view) get to five dance/sing/whatever-offs, never mind to be saved at that point! The maximum saves I've seen for one contestant has been four. So I just don't get why people are getting so steamed up about someone who was only saved as many times as she was because she was up against all the poor dancers.

It wasn't a close decision. Andre was rank last.

Surely though .. if that were true .. her partner wouldn't have tweeted what he did?
Sounded like he was as annoyed and skeptical as the rest of us!
