A Simple remedy to kill speculation in the future.
Seems obvious to me.
Don't allow judges to vote in the final. Had Kellie not received full marks, this discussion wouldn't be taking place and the winner could be enjoying their moment. The Final belongs to the public anyway in my opinion, so why give scores to "guide us". Are we so stupid that we need guidance? Remove the paddles. Ban remarks, such as "You're my number one" but allow a critique from the judges. If the BBC oppose this then I can only think they love the controversy as it keeps their programme in the headlines long after the event, which would be fine, if it weren't at the expense of the winner. |

"You're all winners, you've grown as a dancer etc etc" And while the scores were not tied, they were always so close as to leave it open |

The judges spoilt the show for me in a way . Its a feel good Saturday night entertainment show . Their negativity annoyed me . They all but told Katie she had no place in the final despite they putting her there

Even simpler, make sure the one who you know is going to win isn't upstaged and outdanced by not one but two of the runners-up.

Len saying "I love you" to Kellie, Craig offering Georgia a West End part, Darcey saying Jay is her No.1. It looks like Bruno is the only one who marked on what he saw and on the previous outings!

Controversy = inches in tabloids and posts in social media which all brings publicity and I suppose the Beeb assumes that some of this will convert to viewing public. The X factor blaized this exact trail for years until people got sick to death of all of the stunts. I do hope the BBC and SCD are not foolish enough to court the same fate.

It's not any different than previous years. I really don't understand the uproar in regards to the judges scores in the final - the only reason people are talking about it is because some (not all) seem to be feeling a bit sore that Jay didn't get a 40, but he isn't the only winner who has won without a 40 dance on his slate. And honestly, if he had cared about that he would have done the jive and got it - I think it means more to some fans than to him.

I've just said this on another thread. It's so simple, I don't know why it carries on.

At the outset the show was all about the celebrities.
Over time the show has grown into what it is today, and with that the judges have become celebrities in their own right ( who, by and large, had ever heard of Craig, Len or Bruno before Strictly?) That's why the make the contentious comments they do, why Craig plays up to the pantomime villain ( or dame) and Len want to pickle his walnuts. Similarly Darcey can't wait to get a dose of the vapours at a male bear chest ( and neither can Bruno) A bit of controversy keeps the judges at the forefront of the publics attention , makes them a more important part of the show, all of which helps to keep the gravy train on track. |

It's nothing new. Len even tried to get his own back on Chris Hollins being the publics choice by being horrible to him on the Christmas show that year.

They didn't out dance him as far as I'm concerned, of course it's all subjective, as were those votes which seemed contrived. They had one winner but luckily it was in their heads

It was on the board with the winner at the bottom of it - as well as in their heads.

Shame the glitterball wasn't in the hands of the erratic KK then isn't it? Instead it was in the hands of the deserved winners who kept out of EVERY dance off

The problem isn't abut Kellie receiving full marks, it was because Jay did not.

They were happy about all the time they had spent together before the final and their friendship, so they were not trying to be as competitive as they could, but wanted to end their Strictly being themselves (a bit like dancing it in training). They were OK with however that affected the result - even if it meant they didn't win. |

The judges votes mattered not one iota, as Jay had won the series after he danced the jive. He could have fallen on his arse every week since then and would still have won. Was Jay the best dancer overall? Probably. Did Kellie outperform him on finals night? Probably Did Georgia do herself proud and was she the equal of Jay and Kellie? Probably Was Katie not as good as Jay, Kelie and Georgia? Probably Was this one of the best ever series of SCD? Probably Will we all be back next year with the same moans, groas and bitching? Probably But I might be wrong!!! Will we all have a fantastic Christmas? Definitely and I hope so. |
