Did Jamelia actually say that the judges fixed it for him to stay because that would mean she was calling the judges cheats. Or did she just say about the rerecorded crowd reaction.

well done Jammy , fight for a fair BBC , the corruption has to stop !!!!

She just mentioned the re-recording of the standing ovation.

But she also said (apparently) that when the re-recorded the ovation she "knew" she was out.

Which at the very least implies a certain level of connivance between the judges and TPTB.

Maybe they should change the title of the show and miss out the Strictly..

def.. Strictly.. Requiring close observance or demanding in expectations: strict standards. Ill go for Twisted Come Dancing or Corrupt..

The validity of the judging panel is losing all credibility. This needs to be sorted out or people will surely stop voting, and viewer participation is a huge part of this show.

On ITT I thought the significant part was when she put the "standing ovation" in air quotes, as though it hadn't really happened the first time, only in the rerecording.

The whole thing has a nasty taste about it.

She just said bot rerecording the standing ovation, but people who were actually there said there was no standing ovation and that;s why they recorded one.

I though Zoe Ball was so shocked that she going to give birth on ITT when Jamelia said that. I thought she was worried about what else she might say.

I think that "Crooked Come Dancing" has a certain ring to it

Crooked sounds good to me...or maybe Swindly Come Dancing..

This isn't the first time this has happened on Strictly so I don't know why it is a big deal this year. Last year Caroline was their favourite and this year it's Peter, but doubt he will win. I think Jamelia is a bad loser and has commented about being in the dance off more than previous contestants iirc. The public vote put her there and she wasn't a great dancer at all, maybe she had an elevated opinion on her dancing because I couldn't see it.

However, I did think her quickstep in the dance off was slightly better than Peter but in the overall competition he has been a better contestant. They should change it from "Dance Off" to "Dancing Challenge" where performance throughout the show is taking into consideration and not just that one dance ... I'm sure that's how it used to be in the beginning.

One had to admire Zoe's presenter skills in composing herself by saying "Really?" and cutting to Tristan - problem was, his face, his eyes and body language were just as expressive as Jamelia had been with her comment - a stilleto to the corrupt heart of the show.

A brilliant bit of telly!

MTE.

I think if they had said that they weren't basing it on that dance, people would have mostly shrugged their shoulders and hot on with it but because they seem to change the criteria every week over what they're judging in the dance off, people get miffed and scream fix when they don't like the result.

I think someone got the dance off description out and it doesn't actually say anything about them having to judge it on the dance-off dance, and honestly, very rarely do they seem judge it on that.

Only when there is an exceptional dance (like Simon's vs Pixie) - most of the time the DO is used for them to get out inferior dancers overall and, after 5 dance-offs, getting rid of Jamelia was a no brainer. Just a shame that she couldn't have gone out with a wee bit grace and decided to throw her toys out the pram instead.

Still, it's stopped round 26449 of Jay & Aliona, are they or aren't they? In the tabs so for that we all should be grateful for Ovationgate & the Peter witch hunt.

In all seriousness, I don't understand why some are saying Jamelia was a sore loser?

She was very gracious, IMO.

She made one throwaway comment on ITT, which I feel she was entitled to make. If there was something dodgy going on, then someone had to acknowledge it. The look on Tristan's face in the dance-off...I expected him to say something then and there.

I really don't think she had an inflated sense of her abilities, and I don't know where you got that from. She danced better than Peter in the D/O, and that's all there is to it, really.

Aside from that, she wished Peter and Janette good luck, and hasn't made any further "accusations" or bitter comments.

Yes I agree with you. I do feel there's an awful lot of conspiracy theories regarding SCD which are simply rubbish. Everyone knows, for instance, that the Jordans have issues which are personal. I do think some marks are peculiar when they don't appear to follow the remarks - for instance Anita, in my opinion, should have received a couple of 10's at least on Saturday but I don't think it's a conspiracy. It's dancing, it's wonderful glamour and escapism in an extremely dangerous world, let's just celebrate that.

Good on her.

To edit out audience reaction to suit producer manipulation is despicable!

Well done Jamelia , Swindling Come Dancing has a good ring to it !!

This just makes her look bad, this show is based on them all being very sporting and supportive.
She's taken too much notice of the barking mad conspiracy theorists

Yes Jamelia has come out of this very well and we all love Tristan even more as a result

It wasn't just her comments on ITT as I hadn't watched that, I was referring to her VT before dances and her remark that the public didn't like her along with the constant tears. I have just now watched ITT and she contradicts herself in that she expected to be out in week three yet complained about being in the dance off. It seems, to me anyway, she needs constant praise and can't deal with negativity. In that case don't go on a show where there are judges, it's not a new show.

I don't see how this year is any different to other years just Jamelia being very negative and Ola's comments have added to it. Tbh I can't see how anyone watching is surprised by results, after all they change their clothes to record the (Sunday) result show when we all know it's recorded the same night .. pretty much says it all.

It is an entertainment show and I for one still enjoy it even if I don't always agree with the results.

It amazes me how thick must be the ratings obsessed, "Rainbow Worrier."

Surely she must have realised that the fact that they re-recorded Peter's dance-off to include an encouraged "standing ovation," would get out?
I mean there were enough people there, or did she think that the audience would keep quiet about it, as the believed they'd be "banned," from any more shows if they applied for tickets?

This incident, which would appear to be true, as it has been reported from different sources from people who were there, has further damaged the reputation of the show, which many already feel, is manipulated in attempts to keep up the viewing figures.

But we know stuff like that happens every week - I don't quite understand why it is such a big deal this week? People have mentioned that they've refilmed ovations, reactions, everything when they've gone to shows before, so why shouldn't it have happened here? They certainly didn't cut it in to make it look like Peter had set the room on fire with his dance - they just showed half a dozen people standing and everyone else sitting, clapping politely.

BiB - my thought exactly. Also the editing out of the booing at the judges' verdict.
Does she think the whole audience has agreed a vow of silence?
