Some of the comments are really annoying me. Having a go at Anita. She has every right to be in the semi final. After all she has worked for it despite her pigeon toes. Maybe be some people want to see a grafter. Craig is an idiot who has favourite and he publicly humiliates people he doesn't like. Nasty, mean spirited man.
Craig who do you think you are?

What about if too many of the GBP who would usually have voted for Georgia thought she'd be safe decided to use up their quota of votes righting a perceived wrong with Anita? If 'enough' did then two better dancers (incl Georgia) competing in the DO is a very real possibility.
It is ultimately the public that cause that, not bias and/or inconsistency of the judges

Totally agree with. I have said it so many times. This year Craig and Bruno are favouring Team GG. They will never mention any of her mistakes. Both will give them 10s next week, so they can't be in the dance off. Really angry, blatant manipulation.

It is not just a dance competition. It is also an entertainment show. Maybe the GBP were just not entertained by Helen. I know I wasn't. And if the BBC only want trained dancers then they shouldn't keep the competition open to novices. All I can say is that I hope Anita is very proud of herself. Well done to her.

They do it because they feel provoked by the judging
The public like an underdog and it doesn't take many of them voting, being a bit perverse, if any judge appears to have it in for any competitor.
Look how it didn't matter how much they derided John Sargent's performances, the public kept voting for him. If the judges showed a bit more restraint...well Craig, he wouldn't get some people's backs up so that they skew the vote enough to produce a shock result.

^^^^^Spot on, that! ^^^^^^^👍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I think Anita should have gone but at this stage of the game anybody can be at risk.
CRH should know that after 12 years on this thing, LOL!

This is exactly how I feel.

I know why they do it but it still says as much if not more about them than it does about Craig/the judges as a whole
CRH might be an a**e but if the dance(r) is worse than that others then voting for the one on the receiving end of his ire is a bit bluddy silly imho. As I said, it only ends up causing a ????gate with many of the same people who voted whingeing that their real favourite is out. Go figure

What's 15 letters and begins with a P?
A dirty prevaricator? No, that's 12.
Pringlemuncher? Damn! That's 14!
Platypustaunter? Oh, that's so wicked.

I hope you are not comparing Anita to John Sargent. My problem with Craig is that he is a hypocrite. Georgia can make mistakes and he will never mention and give her his highest mark and Jay who had danced so well and he was pedantic and even Len got mad. Bruno is also the same will never mention her mistakes or down play them.
This is really unfair.

But people are moaning about the better dancers being the in the DO and one of them leaving.

Just didn't want to put the correct no of ****. Incase I get told off. This way I can say I meant something else. My swearing is getting bad to worse.
I love Craig, he's the only really honest judge and if he left Strictly then I would too.
Slag him off all you like but as I said before, he is just giving his opinion. DS member moan like mad when they think the judges are not saying stuff, to toe the BBC agenda, but when they don't, that's wrong too.
Damned if they do and damned if they don't

I am not blaming BBC. I am just angry with Craig and Bruno.

I know she is nothing like JS. She is a joy to watch.

Well tough. The competition is open to ringers as well as novices and if two ringers are in the DO let it be. Perhaps the GP don't find boring ringers entertaining. I cant believe Helen is an actress. Anita is not even an actress and yet she acts her dances well despite her pigeon toes. I am glad Helen has gone.
Everyone has different opinions but being upset doesn't change the result and the fact that Helen has left.
Not enough people voted for Helen and Georgie, Georgie danced better in dance off.
Where's the conspiracy.
I wonder if all the people moaning actually voted.

I love Craig and in fact all of the judges. I whooped with joy when Kellie was announced as going through - she deserved to. I wanted Katie to be in the DO with Helen, and for Helen to go through but that's a personal preference and I'm not complaining about it. Some DS members were so incensed by Craig's comments and low marking, they were voting like crazy and I imagine that was the same for the public. I thought Kellie did a great job and I wanted to keep her out of the DO so I voted for her several times and I guess the public felt the same. Maybe the Georgia votes went to Anita and Kellie instead, because they thought Georgia would be safe. Who knows?
But yes, ultimately it is the public who put Georgia and Helen in the DO. It's all high drama and makes for a great show so why not makes these controversial comments and get people het-up? That's part of it the fun!
Well said kitty! You'd think the winners were going to get a huge expensive record deal instead of a glitter ball, the way people go on about conspiracies and producers ordering judges what to say and mark. Grief!

Why not? Helen was second from bottom on the leaderboard and two have to be in the dance-off. In terms of points, it's perfectly reasonable she was one of them.
Georgia was a bit of a surprise but how often has the person right at the bottom been saved? Plenty.
So overall not that much of a shocker. When you have a series where there's so many already goods ones, you're bound to get eliminations like tonight's near the end. They can't all stay.

Absolutely agree. They clearly wanted Anita to be in the DO
