All I can say is surely Peter must be so embarrassed, I know I would be. Knowing that people didn't cheer for him and had to be told to and then Len getting cheered when he said Jamelia and Tristan. How embarrassing.

It would certainly do no harm to complain to them- there has been controversial scores all series but the DO was blatant favouritism. Why have people spend money voting if the decision is already made?

I find it bizarre that people claim a fix but wont put it to the test by making an official complaint. No doubt the risk is that off-com are also in on it....

Anyway, there must be something more effective than letter writing, why not turn off. Or refuse to post in the forum. Or perhaps a hunger strike. You have my full support.

In reply to the OP, no. I have better things to do. Like watching paint dry.

Others have gone out in previous series to less able people (Gabby v Penny anyone?). And I'm sure this isn't the first time something gas been reshot.

Plus, who's to say that Jamelia wasn't last in the public vote anyway?

The outrage on these forums is reaching Pixie levels .... Over someone who would never have won the pathetic Glitterball anyway.

It's all incredibly OTT. And once this series us over no one will care. (Then again, I don't care right now.)

Is it worth complaining to Ofcom about what happened on the results show, and what Jamelia revealed tonight?

Does anyone plan on writing a complaint or have you already?

*I'm personally not complaining, just wondered whether people were or have done*
I'm sure some loony will but it's trivial nonsense

Nobody is obliged to vote, it's stupid to spend money in something like this, but if one decides to then one has already given that money up to no avail.

You could always write to "BBC Points if View," I wonder what they would say? (if anything at all!)

The dictionary tells me that the word "shameless' wasn't actualy invented just for Peter Andre. But it could have been.

Refilming the audience isn't proving a fixed result. They reshoot lots of things in the results show, and film other bits on other days.
Demanding a standing ovation from the audience when none was given is deceitful and dishonest though .
A standing ovation should be spontaneous and freely given .

Blame the producers as they do seem to care whether their celeb gets a standing ovation or not . Don't blame the audience or viewers for being angry at their deceit .

We all know it's only an entertaining dance show but why the deceit?

Let's have an independent inquiry
A judicial review
Refer it to the SCD Ethics committee
Take it to the Court of Appeal .
The European Court of Human Rights
The US Supreme Court
The court of arbitration for Sport
Lets have a UN Resolution to reinstate Jamelia

....Ther are dreadful things going on in the world and the way people are reacting you would think Peter Andre caused them all.
It's called the butterfly effect... Because of his existence, and what he has done many bad things happen.

So true!

I might make this my last post tonight as I'm verging on hysteria from all the hilarious posts. Enjoying myself way too much before bedtime.
