Um, I did. They said he got a standing ovation initially.

They were sat to the left of the judges and weren't allowed to stand up because of the cameras

It's not what she implied, certainly.

Why would you need to refilm the audience reaction anyway?

Generally you refilm sections if the audio wasn't good enough, so on programmes like HIGNFY they might ask the host to repeat a couple of lines.

Because in a studio you have a controlled environment built for purpose. You can set up your camera angles very easily free of any obstruction to film the action both on and off the floor.

The Tower Ballroom wasn't built for TV so it is likely that filming in there presents a number of operation challenges. For example a panning shot to move from the floor to the stalls may have to cross the path of a pillar.

So in such cirumstances it would be quite reasonable to set the cameras up to take some footage say from the dance floor., then move it to film some back ground, textural footage. The alternative would be to have twice as many camearas and camera operators which is expensive.

And yet the area to the left of the judges (facing the dancefloor) is exactly where people are always seen giving standing ovations on camera as the couples wander over to Tess, and where people were seen standing after Kellie & Kevin's dance.

Yeah- I've re-watched the end of the dance, and all that's there is a shot of the front row of celeb F&F (just 8 people in the shot) standing and clapping. It's really not a big deal. As you say- continuity rather than showing us a mass standing ovation.

In fact- I wonder if Jamelia used the air quotes more as recognition of the in-joke about Bruce/Tess always going on about them, in much the same way as the over-use of "the j-word".

Well the first time he done his dance on the show he did not get a standing ovation
Everyone clapped for a short period 🙃 So why would it change later in the show as he was worse later than his first dance and his first was bad 😡

nice work

More likely the cleaner's donkey.

The damaging aspect of Jamelia's reveal is that the reshoot with standing ovation occurred before the judges gave their judgement. Because she said that was when she knew she had no chance of being saved. Hence that occurred before the Judges gave their decision.

And yes when Len gravely said he would have saved Jamelia because his professionalism as a professional judge would have him do no other, Darcey held her head in shame / regret.

Hence I think they reshot the end part of Peters dance off because the audience must have received his dance off in stony silence or at least muted applause.

Craig, Darcey and Bruno took into account Peter was the better dancer and the fact this was the fifth time Jamelia was in the dance - off and Peter's first time .... although Peter was clearly second best on the night - basically because Peter had not been taught / or mastered the jive basics.

Well they stood up earlier for the other couples that were good xxx

Well yes- they weren't standing. So the "re-recording to show people giving a standing ovation" didn't, in fact, happen.

I reckon it was just to show the F&F standing. It's not a big story. The only big story is the craigdarceybruno voting lunacy.

Yes, that's the bottom line. Putting bits of applause or laughter in here and there is acceptable. But when you have a dance-off in a competition, deliberately trying to make one contestant's performance appear more crowd-pleasing or exciting is a step too far. If that's indeed what happened of course.

It happens all the time on many shows and always has.

...not to substantiate a pre-made decision though. We'll never see the results show broadcast live, will we?

Oh do stop crying.
look here's a nice putty tat for you to stroke ->

The dance off, yes I believe Jamelia was slightly better.

However this whole standing ovation thing I just do not buy.

As he finishes his dance you can see people standing up in the wide shot. The cut in version that Jamelia and this mole said was refilmed and added in, well it was Peter's wife and his 'people', I would guess no matter how he had danced they would have stood up anyway.

So I do think the thing is bent to the producers will and most likely a fix, this does not prove it to me as these sort of things do happen on set.

Do you know what? The *only* place I've ever seen Jamilia is on this show and I wouldn't trust a single word she uttered. she struck me as being sulky and more than a touch diva'ish
I don't give a stuff about Peter Andre either as it happens but she's been in the do FIVE times, if she didn't go this week she'd be going next and all this crying about doesn't change a single thing.

On loose women today she actually said Peter did not get a SO after his dance and she did.

Why keep talking about "crying"? Jamelia didn't cry, the poster on here you just rudely accused of crying didn't cry.......people are just discussing something that has happened in a show they are interested in. Your unpleasantness is unnecessary and uncalled for.

For me, it doesn't matter that Jamelia was in the dance off five times, each time she appeared to be the better of the two dancers and got through. Fair enough. This week she appears to have been the better dancer but the judges and/or BBC decided not to put her through. It's a shame, it leaves me wondering about the credibility of the BBC and whether or not they manipulate other information for other, more serious programmes. I would like to think they don't but if Saturday/Sunday is proof of their track record, who knows.

The judges are all loaded, they should have had the integrity either to walk off or tell the truth..

And that makes it okay?

I am wondering if any of the statistical whizzes on this site would know when prior to Blackpool Peter's support has really been tested?

Maybe his overmarking has been protecting him up to now?
