I forget every year......old age Is there just one period of public voting, during the first show? I seem to remember that judges don't vote in the second show though, so they throw 10s around like confetti.

Has anyone else a better memory than I have?

Here

1st Half:

1. Judges choice
-Voting opens-
2. Showdance
-Voting closes

2nd Half:

3. Couple gets eliminated
-Voting re-opens-
4. Favourite Dance
-Voting closes
5. Boring filler
6. Winner

Also it's public votes only, so the judges scores are only a "guide".

Hope I helped!

Judges scores on all dances are for guidance only, they do not count towards the couples' final positions.

Phone lines/online voting open after all 4 couples have danced their first dances.
Lines/onlinevoting close after the 4 showdances.
One couple is eliminated.
Phone lines/online voting reopen, voted from earlier are carried over and added to new votes.

Yes that does help, thank you

The 3 couples left over dance their own choices in the second half don't they?

Thanks, forgot to type that!
