Can somebody who has gone out by lack of public votes be brought back? A very grey area I would think.

My guess, she will have pulled out by Monday morning.

She will leave

1/ on Doctors advice,
2/ being upset on this.

I think on ITT they will reinstate Melvin.

I think, as its first vote off and Melvin has not been given a chance to battle for it, he will be back, even though they have acted within the rules.

I hope her injury isn't too bad. But sounds very serious.

No they will just have a three person final this year (which I would prefer least you know who comes 2nd/3rd)

As much as I'm not keen on what the Beeb has done here, they've eliminated him and that should be the end of his run.

There have been other cases of withdrawals, but they have never reinstated anyone who had been voted off. I doubt it would be any different this time, if Anastacia does withdraw.

Slightly different this time.

Firstly, the BBC have acted in the rules.

But the difference is, it's the first vote off, Melvin hasn't had the opportunity to be in a dance off, and better himself with judges, lastly, if on doctors advice Anastasia goes first thing Monday, no training is lost.

Differences, include, to past withdrawals, not midweek, not mid series, no one else was harmed, Melvin whilst again this is within the rules, has not had the opportunity to " get better" in a DO.

I think Anastasia will withdraw on doctors advice in the morning.

This is so early in the series, Will and Greg also hurt themselves, it doesn't matter on 3/4 in the final, they run the risk of loosing more, so early this series.logical decision is she retires, he comes back, but has to be Monday, or all off, as he is behind in training.

Indeed, they'll just have a 3 couple final instead of a 4 couple one.

That's always been the reason for the extra couple; the thinking is that a 4 couple final (if no-one drops out) is much better than a 2 couple final (if someone drops out).

If she withdraws I would be more than happy for him to have a second chance on Saturday. But I cannot see it happening, the reinstatement not the withdrawal, which is a shame.

They won't reinstate him, otherwise they would have just postponed the elimination altogether or Anastacia would have withdrawn before now. He had a lower overall score, chances were the judges would have done exactly what they did for Ali Bastian and voted Anastacia through on the basis of potential.

As much as it's a shame Melvin didn't get to have another go at his dance, I don't think the result would have been any different, and at least this way there's a chance of it only being a three-person final this year, though of course I hope Anastacia recovers in time to train and dance next week.

I know and Also posted the rules, and agree the BBC acted correctly, and I know he had lowest viewer vote. On Saturday night, that was the only decision available.

But read my post above, I think from her reaction, and her serious injury she will be retired in the morning. Melvin would gave the opportunity to come back then.

Your second paragraph agrees with my thoughts......

It's far far too early to think of a three person final, that assumes very good luck another celebrity isn't injured, and Will and Greg have had injuries already.

From the sound of the injury I doubt a bye week would really help. The position and type of injury would leave it open to easily being reopened causing more harm to her. She should know this which is why I was very surprised she didn't bow out in the results show and let Melvin continue on.

Based on that Melvin should really be asked back I feel to keep the numbers right, plus he never got the chance to fight in the DO.

The only way the beeb will reinstate Melvin is if Anastacia goes into some weirdly selfless campaign and martyrs herself before the show, nominating Melvin as her successor, forcing the beeb to do it or be shamed.

I am wondering if it was over confidence on Brendans part. I can hear him assuring her she would get through OK. So all she would have had to do was stand there, smile when she was through and worry about it all after that.

If the results show had genuinely been held today she might have taken further medical advice and decided whether she needed to withdraw. But in the fairly chaotic and emotional atmosphere there must have been yesterday evening as they recorded tonight's show I doubt her thinking was able to be that cool and collected.

if the dance-off had been today, I expect one side would have gone stiff as a board

Possible..

No one gets hurt if she retires and he is reinstated, no other celebrity has been voted off so far, if it was later in the series, who do you choose to bring back, last weeks eviction or the shock one or everyone's favourite. This is first week eviction if they act quickly they can retract the decision.

I can imagine the BBC is in a bind. Stars in the US hold immense power and I guess they are not used to dealing with someone of Anastacia's calibre. Why not come up with some sort of compromise whereby she could sing on two or three shows which would be absolutely terrific and would allow her to earn her fee.

They are not in any bind at all.

Basically it will be in the hands of medics and doctors.

If they say, ( and due to her diagnosis I expect this) she can't dance, then she can't dance, if they say she can recover in days, ( unlikely) she will dance.

Her fee doesn't matter to her 1/ all going to charity, 2/ She doesn't need it with her fortune.

I guess/ expect/ predict, her to retire by Monday morning, as the doctors will say, you will hurt yourself more.

Contracts cover this so no one is in any bind.

I doubt anyone will ever be reinstated. If more contestants were lost due to injury etc, however, there might need to be a week without an elimination.

If she has to withdraw (gessing she may have to). There may not be an elimination next week or they might bring Melvin back. Depends on the circumstances. Doubt they'll bring someone knew in
