Oh Dear! I am not a happy bunny. We all do our best to keep the result just to this thread to not spoil it for others - and what happens??????????
I just googled "Anastacia Injured" with a time frame of last 24 hours. Simply to see if there was anything anywhere about what her injury actually is, how it was caused etc. Third on the list is a link to this thread, spelling out in the narrative that there is no DO! "*SPOILER* Thread Week 2 - Please not discuss results elsewhere pre ... forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?p=84094126 2 hours ago - 10 posts - 5 authors Anastacia, it's you...come here, Melvin. How are you two, both nervous? Well, I'm here to tell you that due to Anastacia having been injured earlier, NO ONE IS IN ... More results from forums.digitalspy.co.uk" Grrrrrrrrrrrr. It potentially gives us a bad name. ps James Jordan has been sounding off again on Twitter. |

Result
Anastacia & Melvin bottom two, Melvin eliminated on lowest public vote as there was no dance off due to Anastacia's injury.
I think it is the shows obsession with elimination that causes controversial decisions. Without this all sorts of scenarios are possible. However, one thing to bear in mind, is people have paid to vote and with the paid vote system a decision has to be made as to elimination. Therefore, the fall back option has to be the least favourite with the public. |

I don't think this season will be as good as some as a lot of the contestants (Danny, Daisy etc) are just too good for week 2. |

I'm not missing the point at all (I am stating another point of view) and so there was no need to underline 'injured celebrity'. It isn't just about Anastacia. It is about allowing all celebs the courtesy of improving their performance in the dance off instead of unceremoniously booting them off. The fact that Melvin probably would have been eliminated is beside the point. He should still have been given the chance. Also, although I'm sure that Anastacia did not foresee that she would not be able to dance again, would it be right for any future celeb to perform on the main show knowing that they can just apply enough painkillers etc to get through the dance on the main show but not have to redo it for the dance off?
Additionally if Anastacia cannot extend her top half to dance a salsa, I don't see how she is going to recover anywhere near soon enough to be able to dance any ballroom. |

Its appearance on google is more down to how DS lists on search engines than the fault of anyone's comments on a forum, where I think the majority of us do work in good faith to keep the spoiler contained in here as opposed to galloping with glee to the main thread.
Think it would be very harsh if the moderators punished the thread. the DS techies need to put nofollows on spoiler threads in general to make them uncrawlable... I guess I am just protective of this thread and the lovely people who make it possible, and don't want that to be compromised. |

Wasn't it last year it was all over the web(including a certain online newspaper who hates the Beeb) who go evicted and they must have got it here?
Shocked it was not the Balls who went. ![]() Melvin had room to improve, they should have cancelled the eviction and given both a pass.

Thanks all concerned for the spoiler
Re google picking up the spoiler for search results I'm not too sure if there is anything DS can or will want to do. In theory they could tell search engines not to index but they don't always listen and I'm not sure if the forum software will allow them to do that on a single thread. They also aren't likely to want to do that as it means they'll lose search engine ranking to their main competitor for search traffic for the spoiler |

Does seem that 2nd on is not a good slot to have in the early days.

Firstly, thanks so much to the Spoiler people. Every year I thank my lucky stars that we have you.
Well, what a strange result! I think it was right that Melvin went as the worst contestant - but NOT under these circumstances. It just doesn't seem fair. I know money is involved with the voting, but surely there should be something in the rules for this sort of situation that the DO is null and void, as the money goes to charity anyway. The T&Cs state:- "There are a number of contingencies which could occur during or before each show, as with any other live television programme. Contingencies cover withdrawal of any celebrity, professional dancer or judge for health reasons or other unforeseen circumstances or outside the control of the BBC. The remedial actions may include, but not be limited to changing the format of the show, including, removing, substituting or adding acts and/or judges; and cancelling, suspending or altering voting or one of the voting methods at any time. In the event of any celebrity leaving the competition, the BBC will decide on contingency plans as it deems necessary and appropriate to the circumstances." In other words, they can make up the rules as they go along. |

Thanks to all for the spoiler. I do wonder if Anastacia's injury is due to one of her previous medical conditions and she doesn't want it broadcast, as she is trying to be a positive role model for cancer survivors. Her health issues may have made the BBC more cautious about forcing a dance off than with other injured contestants.

Perhaps they got Judge Rinder to read out the Ts and Cs of voting and elimination to fill in some of time instead of the dance off.

There's not much money in the voting and they don't use it for charity. It doesn't take long either, they want to shoot the result show and go home. Bad news for Anastacia is that there were four people below her on the leaderboard and she still ended up in the DO. She can make it further only if she performs well and gets higher on the leaderboard which can be difficult depending on her injury. Although the way Brendan was throwing her around it might not have been too serious. I can understand she does not want to give up, but maybe she should.

As it appeared that Will was injured after the dance as well then it should have been announced at the beginning of the results that their would be no dance off due to injuries to various dancers and to make it fair to everyone tonight would be public vote only, Not pull them both out and then say that because one couple are not able to dance etc etc. Both through and double elimination the following week

Many thanks to our mole. I wish I could have joined more last night but could not get on the board at all just kept crashing, I also googled Anastacia injury and saw the result which has never happened before and that was a shame. Apparently Lesley Joseph complained that the result was leaked as well.
It will be interesting to hear Tess explaining that Anastacia cannot dance because the injury she had 'last night' hasn't got any better. |

Tbf, Melvin was probably the worst dancer last night so his elimination was not unexpected.

Those who follow the spoiler thread (and anyone who bothers to find out even if they do not want to know the result) can reason that whatever pain blockers Anastacia may have been using to deal with dancing on the main show, can wear off and be unsafe to repeat just to do a dance off. Very difficult to justify this if you are trying to appear to be on a new day.

This is an interesting one, and I do think that they were probably hoping Anastacia would get enough votes to survive. Yet taking it back to the public vote seems fair enough if she couldn't do the dance, as it would be all they had to go on- It's a bit tough on Melvin but unless he was with Ed I don't think he''d have survived a dance off anyway
They must be hopeful Anastasia will recover enough though |
