Yes. Some people are acting like Anita was a good dancer...she wasn't.

All:-
# stopbuyingTheSun.
The Sun has made up too many stories now, this one is based on " one" tweet. The Klara one was disproved yesterday the previous fix stories proven lies.
If you love SCD stop buying The Sun until it stops this fix campaign.

Don't get me wrong, I lived Anita and Gleb, and looked forward to their dances each week, but in the dance off she was beaten fair and square.”

well that's your opinion
Dancing is just not doing the right steps in the right order, you have to perform the dance. Anita was a great performer
IMO Anita improved her footwork and it was obvious she had worked hard all week.
Shame the Judges didn't give her any praise for this

I agree. Anita was a great dancer. Her footwork in her foxtrot was certainly better than Katie's in her waltz. Which Anton obviously knew was bad so he ordered in the dry ice! Anita was a much better dancer than Katie. She did so many wonderful dances and probably had the most difficult choreography to master out of them all.
I can't recall one dance that Katie has done that has impressed me or had any wow factor. She's bland and boring. It's such a pity that Anita has missed out on the final as I think she was far more worthy of a place than Katie. Katie should have gone weeks ago. Helen was a better dancer. Peter was a better dancer. Even Jamelia was a better dancer imo. I'm positive that Katie would not have made the final if she'd been partnered with somebody else. This whole series has been geared towards getting Anton there.

Agree with all of the above. I hardly knew who Anita was when the series began but, right from the start, she impressed me with her ability to learn the routines and her enthusiasm and joy for the dance.
She and Gleb were my favourites throughout and the only couple I voted for ( usually I have two or three couples who I vote for throughout ).
They had rubbish music for their final performance, although I agree that others have also had rubbish music ( and costumes ) earlier in the series, but I felt that this did for them and I think they knew it, and was the main reason they chose to go out with a bang by redoing their Salsa.
And, as has been said elsewhere, if they were not going to win ( and as Jay is going to win, then Anita was not going to win ) then it is probably better to go out in the semi final and have a final exit interview on ITT with the time to say everything they want to say.
The other 3 who will lose this week end, will get nothing at all, other than a few minutes on the red button with Zoe.
Like you, I dont really remember any of Katie's performances as being memorable, more a case of watching her be guided round the floor by Anton - and in the latin even that doesnt help as Katie came across as marginally better than Anton.
I dont dislike her and I do feel sorry for her, as the whole partnership seems to be about theyearoftheanton, rather than about Katie the celebrity.
Long-time lurker here ...
I've always liked Katie but feel nervous watching her. And then disappointed afterwards. She has a lack of solidity that, say, Kellie has in spades. But she has great potential and could yet pull something fantastic out of the bag in the final. This would go some way to appeasing her seemingly many detractors, and pleasing the judges who have picked on her, in my view unreasonably, at times.
That failing, perhaps Anton could just pipe down a bit and make whatever's left of their time about his partner, not him!

Yes, of course. I think she was better than Katie, but that's not saying much. Her Salsa was a disaster largely because of the choreography and music. I don't know why they chose to perform it again.
Ive just seen this in the DM - I havn't read the article - couldn't get past the 'Have you no Shame ' headline. Simply appalling. More fix nonsense but it just goes too far. Poor Katie, so unfair on her.

I think people saw the way they were able to make a non-story a story during Jameliagate and let the power go to their head. There has been a ~fix accusation every week since. All of them baseless, all of them stupid.

At least Anita could get through a Salsa...
Katie can't dance Latin to save her life!!

She did a creditable jive and a good Rhumba.
Anita barely did a straight dance well the whole series, athletic, fun and dramatic though she is. Her feet and general technique were always poor.

Exactly,. We get the media we deserve. And unfortunately we have a media who resort to the lowest common denominator - and a gullible and too easily 'outraged' public who like to think they have power over the redtops. When in fact all they're doing is creating a feeding frenzy because the redtop editors and owners know what sells. It's all a rather ugly, vicious circle.
Frankly, I wouldn't use the 'Scum' (and let's not forget that they alleged the victims of Hillsborough had a hand in their own deaths many years ago) or the 'Fail' as toilet paper. I wouldn't have them if they were free (and believe me they have offered from time to time). Nasty, disgusting trash that they are.

Given the number of people on these forums screaming fix. Look forward to seeing who stops watching.

All of Katie's faster dances turn out badly, either forgetting choreography or falling out of time.
Bless, but Anton was indeed her perfect partner... he can't dance Latin either!

You can't make Anita any better or more deserving of a final place by trashing Katie.
On the final deciding dance, Katie was BETTER than and JUSTLY got through to the final.
That's that really. It's going to have to be swallowed.

But she didn't, if you compare the dancing involved Anita pulled hers off just as well as Katie - even though it had a lot more content.
Craig could see that and chose Anita.
Most believe it to be a fix, because all series they have been spouting on about this finally being Anton's year... and boom he is in the final.

I can compare the dancing.
Craig LOVES 'spirit', teeth and gurn and jazz hands, he comes from a Musical Theatre background, and isn't that great at understanding THAT even (in my opinion).
I don't care what MOST people think. I use rational thinking and my own experience when making judgements, especially in the face of NO EVIDENCE to my perfectly reasonable and educated view.
It's a gift I suppose.

'Most' people actually DON'T think it was a 'fix' or a 'conspiracy'. Just a voluble few who are starting to believe their own rather biased opinions because they are incapable of being sporting.
Plus, is it REALLY that important in the grand scheme of things???
So you win a Saturday night light entertainment show and get a crappy little trophy... And everyone goes back to their day jobs ...
It isn't important. It isn't a fix. It isn't some kind of 'grand conspiracy'. It's a piece of fluff on a weekend which doesn't matter in the long run. To anyone.
All this faux outrage from sore losers.... Dear me. No wonder there's no hope for society.
