No stage school soap stars, and no BBC employees. No dancers with close links to the judges, and no siblings critiquing on it takes two.
as show full of Iwan Thomas', Anne Widdecombes and Lisa Rileys? no thanks! I like the vast array of celebs they get on the show and would HATE to see a show full of Iwans or Annes YAWNFEST (to steal Terrys word) |

Even the respected Daily Star has 'Strictly Fix Fury' screaming all over the front page.
there is nothing respected or respectable about the Daily Star! |

Don't be too harsh. I should imagine that Terry is heavily tranquilised after the double whammy of his beloved Anton being booted out, and then Jay winning the glitter ball.

That should include anyone from a theatre school also. I think I remember the man from Eastenders (Christian I think) saying he could not enter because of his dance background but every year there are people from stage schools, I suppose they go on the show to try and get some exposure when they are not doing too well. I liked all of the dances Jay did, no stage school faces being pulled.

Strictly No More BoyBanders With Intensive Pre Show Dance Training - Its A Yawnfest ?
This is the first time I have fallen asleep during a Strictly Come Dancing Final ever, the producers really have to address this issue as a matter of urgency. With all the teeny tiny boybander fans voting hundreds of times each no one else had a chance, and it really is a yawn fest knowing who the winner is going to be before the halfway stage due to the intensive pre show dance training. Should we bring back the level playing field ? Should we introduce a handicapping system for the Celebs with an unfair advantage ? |

The show needs MORE talented male competitors, not fewer. Part of the problem with Jay is that he was the obvious stand-out male contestant, with his nearest competition for the hunk vote being a guy with one working arm and a 42 year old going out every Saturday and doing the Rhythm Nation dance because he was devoting 4 hours a week to training. What's notable about all the recent walkover male winners (Harry, Louis, Jay) is that they had no real young male competition whatsoever. In this series, by the time all the female-favouring voters had worked out which of Anita, Helen, Georgia, Kellie and Katie they liked the best, it was over - the Jay Bandwagon had built up enough steam over three months to roll over them all.
If you'd given Jay a Matt Di Angelo, or a Ricky Whittle or even a Housewives Favourite Matt Baker to tussle against (none of them boy-banders or even eventual winners), and created a bit of a question as to which man was better, you might have had a more all-round exciting fight. And even if not, and the testosterone vote overwhelmed the women, we've just had four series in a row where the ladies outperformed the men on average, in two cases substantially so. Having the reverse for once wouldn't be so bad. The Irish crooner was dire this series, and I would not watch a show if full of contestants of the likes of Russell Grant, Craig Kelly, Paul Daniel, Chris Parker etc to watch their journeys, any more than a show full of Allison Hammonds, Judy Murrays or Carol Vordermans. All those personalities are wonderful in their career slots but few make a successful jump to the training room, let alone the dance floor. Having said that, I have to make exception for two wonderful jumpers this series - Ainsley Harriott and showjumper Jeremy Vine.

Agreed. Well said. Contestants just have to be young(ish) and fit. Who they are almost ceases to matter once we are halfway into a Strictly series.

Jay: 33.7 Georgia: 33.4 Kellie: 30.2 (And just because I wish she'd been there) Helen: 33.6 I know a lot of people well past the "teeny tiny" phase of their lives -and who don't their boybands from their elbow- who voted for him simply because they thought he was the best dancer. Incidentally- given the "foregone conclusions" of the past, I think it would be better to start with banning male sportsmen before denying the likes of Nicky Byrne and Simon Webbe a shot at the Glitterball; they're outdoing boybanders by 3:2 Oh- and many people at the start of the series thought Peter Andre was the foregone conclusion to be in the final. I guess it's only with hindsight that we see what the foregone conclusions really were... |

Have some dignity and retire from the fray until next year, before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.

But a lot of acts get advantages TerryM22, there's nothing you or anyone can really do about it. |

For people who don't like dance maybe! I heard this outrageous idea that some people might actually enjoy watching good dancing as entertainment. Who'd have thought it, dancing as a form of entertainment

You cannot reason with someone who would like to see George Michael on the judging panel.
