I hope you're right. If the general public reflects what I read on there last night, it would be worrying.

That's a shame, not just because she really wanted to do it, but because it could have been a really big stamp (if the dance had gone well) that she deserved to be in the show. She's a good dancer from the last few weeks that we've seen, so I doubt her AT would ever be bad, but now we may never get to see it if she ends up bottom two again (as Katie and Anita appear more popular) and goes. Maybe she'll survive a BT against Kellie, but you never know. I'd prefer to see Georgia and Gio in final than Katie and Anton.

To be honest, on any article on that blog...even ones totally unrelated to him, I only seem to see "Jay was so good last week".

Jesus, scared we'll forget he exists if he isn't mentioned for 5 minutes? I don't really bother scrolling down to comments anymore, lol.

Slap a poultice on the affected area and I'm sure she will be fine!

Strictly on Saturday night has more than 10 million viewers and ITT around 2 million so most people won't know that Georgia's dance was changed.

Hope she gets better quickly

Hope whatever the cause of the change is easily solved.

I wish it wasn't a big deal or drama...but from what I've read theres another big conspiracy going on to get Georgia to the top (completely irrational) and as I said earlier, they're acting as if its some kind of criminal inquiry, where they want explanations and justice. Its not just crazy illogial drama though, its just mean at this stage in the competition, when all the celebs are trying their best, stressed out and some of them sick. Is it necessary?

After the immaturity and mob-mentality of the public during the last "earth shaking controversy", the BBC probably can't be bothered to grace any decisions with a response anymore.

Yeah but, I know what you mean and I'd love them to make the final, but the voting public are a funny animal.

They're the lot who would put Sergeant or Widdecombe in the final, who vote or voted for Anton 'cos he deserves it' (never mind that Katies dancing is good) or and I hate to say this 'cos I liked them, Kara and Artem 'cos it's a love story innit'. and maybe not so much for Helen 'cos she's a bit posh, seems standoffish and makes funny faces' and a lot more tenuous reasons all regardless of the actual dancing.

It is what it is., and the celebs pros and even the manipulating PTB can't always control that reaction.

True.


True!

BIB - exactly. So unless it's covered on the main show because a) Georgia and/or Giovanni mention it or b) all the conspiracies of bias/sympathy/advantage blah blah blah etc gain a life of their own by then (and I mean bigger than just on forums etc) then a lot of people will remain unaware that they have even changed dance.

there will also be a fair amount of people (i'm guessing in the millions) who don't check the BBC website, so have no idea what they are dancing anyway!!!

and so are many other people, I think we should try to be positive, Giovanni is the best choreographer, imo, and was the Italian Latin champion in 2012 and Georgia is tougher than she looks, so I'm hoping they'll do two fantastic dances on Saturday and make it to the final

I can't understand why she's getting grief about it. I haven't looked at the Strictly Site at all so didn't know this. That is stupid if people are moaning about it.

I wouldn't care if people changed their dance on Friday night. They all have to do all bar one dance.

It's not a matter of wanting them to be seen to be at a disadvantage, it's a matter of analysing the last events and observe them from a different perspective than yours.

As for the comparisons with Jay and Aliona they couldn't be more irrelevant. Every professional is different in their approach to teaching methodology, teaching times, and choreography.
If you are looking forward to do a specific dance and has to change to another it will throw you off a bit (or a lot), it doesn't matter when you started training.

No, it's not necessary in the slightest. I would forget about that BBC blog Humpy, it's a pool of bile and venom and it has always been like that.


Please don't get me started on this "Year of the Anton" thing; it's simply insulting to Katie


Yes Ruby, upwards and onwards!

I can just imagine TPTB wheeling Len out on ITT wearing scrubs and with a stethoscope round his neck to give a full diagnosis of Georgia's illness/injury as justification of why her dance was changed.

She's changed from AT to Char, Char and I can't see what the issue is. Unfortunately after the Peter v Jamelia danceoffgate I suppose many will see conspiracy at any thing that happens out of the ordinary.

Heaven knows what the reaction will be if Katie/Anita pips Jay to the glitter ball!.

But she's not even the first one to change it this series?

Weird.

Anyway as others have said most people won't even know she's changed her dance.

BIB or Georgia or Kellie I imagine there would be calls for people's heads, general mass anarchy, protests, guy burnings, petitions etc all would be totally uncalled for as at the end of the day it's just a TV show.

Well, I can but dream

Closer to the truth than you think! A few were asking if her illness had actually been confirmed ...or if people were just taking her word for it because she posted she was ill on twitter.

They seem very close to demanding as a right her medical certificate and details of the doctors diagnosis

Maybe they were dancing Cha Cha all along and Gio's accent has misled everyone

Let's hope she sends them a stool sample

This is why some contestants over the years dont even choose to disclose it when they are feeling ill. People are so cynical. It's like dammed if you do, dammed if you dont.
I have just been to the bbc blog and goodness me ...the conspiracies theories are in full force.

Perhaps he actually said "I loathe the Argentine Tango, and would never dreaming of inflicting such horror on my partner."

BIBOh no edy you don't want to be going over there.
