Voting Figures
Quote:
Strictly Come Dancing 2015 voting figures WON'T be revealed by BBC http://www.tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv...ed-by-bbc.htmlNO Strictly Come Dancing 2015 voting percentages The Strictly Come Dancing 2015 voting figures and stats won't be revealed this year despite all the fix claims. Rival shows The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent and I'm A Celebrity have each released detailed voting breakdowns at the end of their respective series this year but the BBC won't be following suit. "Releasing voting figures could affect the way that people vote, and also have an impact on the participants. We therefore do not disclose the exact voting figures." I'm totally confused here ...How does releasing the voting figures AFTER the series has ended affects the way the public votes ![]() "also have an impact on the participants" ... what impact would that be on the participants ![]() It maybe due to old age that I don't understand the reasoning behind the BBC's statement

Because you'd see that the public may have voted quite a bit for a contestant that ended up in the DO and sent home due to the judges scoring. Like Anita?

Certain celebrities get work based on their perceived popularity. If voting figures revealed for example that a celebrity did very poorly with the public, it may affect their employment possibilities in the future. That threat would make it hard for the producers to convince celebrities to take part.

I wonder if you'd get them under a Freedom of Information request?

Tbh that's their reasoning behind it but the fact that shows like I'm a celebrity have no problems with bookings suggests that it doesn't really pan out that way.

They've never released voting figures and there isn't a reason for them to start now. ITV shows only release them due to the scandal revolving public voting on ITV shows a few years back.

The BBC state on the Strictly website..... "Although the BBC is subject to the Freedom of Information Act, information which is closely connected to our programme-making is not covered by the Act. The Information Commissioner, who regulates the Act, has confirmed that information about public voting is not covered. We are therefore not required to disclose the voting figures under the Act." |

I can't call if it was Kellie or Georgia 2nd. Tough to figure out!
If they just gave it for the finale that'll be enough for me but i think then people would want the dance off's too. |

Because you'd see that the public may have voted quite a bit less for a contestant that ended up in the DO and sent home due to the judges' scoring reflecting the lower public support. |

In Series 6 they revealed the order of the semi-finals voting due to the Tiegate Scandal (it went Tom > Rachel > Lisa).
In the Series 4 Quarter-Final they had a "dance-off" wherein the two bottom 2 contestants danced again on a live results show and the winner was based entirely on public votes. In that instance Emma got more public votes than Louisa and the latter went home. As far as I'm aware, those are the only two times the specific particular public vote order has been revealed in any way outside of a final. |

I think by not releasing the figures it appears that they are trying to cover something up. They are probably not but it doesn't help their cause.

They never usually reveal the voting figures anyway.

Also as I said in another thread, SPOTY award results are piblished and sports people rely heavily on sponsorship, so to see that they finished last with very few votes could really impact on their careers, yet the BBC do not mind publishing the number of votes for each person. |

Not sure if my memory is playing up, but I am fairly sure one series they did announce the voting figures due to some kind of controversy

It is also the usual argument that if they released the figures after the series then next someone would want them released each week and perhaps even the figure seen as the votes come in. Once they give in there will be someone wanting more. |

There may not be a cover up, but it does leave doubt in some minds & adds fuel to the conspiracy theorist
