In which case it's based on a combination of walnut pickling, COMIN' AAAAAHT, wellington boot donation and not being a bloody foreigner.

Now out of interest I ran the Foreignness, Unknown Customs and Kinsmen Scores for both couples through my Sony Goodman, and got the following results.

Brendan: BLADDY AUSSIE OR NEW ZEALAND OR SAMMIN', INNEE? TELL YOU WOT, THEM ANZACS CAME AHT AND GAVE IT SAHM AT GALIPOLI, OI DON'T MIND TELLIN' YOU FOR NAFFIN' MOI SAN. PRACTICALLY BRITISH, THEY IS. GERTCHA!

Anastacia: BLADDY RUSSIAN NAME THAT! BLADDY COMMIES, CAHMIN' OVER 'ERE AND DOIN' ILLEGAL LIFTS AND GIVIN' ME THE OI WHEN OI TELLS 'EM WHAT'S WHAT? WAZZAT? SHE'S AMERICAN? GIT DAHHHHN, ERNIE.

Brendan & Anastacia combined score: 4/10 - Hide The Silverware

Janette: CUBANS? CYOO-BANZ? GIRRATUVIT YOU PLONKAAAAH, THEY'RE THE BLADDY WORST PARTS OF DAGOS MIXED WIV THE WORST PARTS OF BLADDY RUSSIANS, INNIT? AND SHE'S ONLY WENT AND SHACKED UP WIV THAT SEXY FRANKENSTEIN, IN'T SHE?

Melvin: [The Sony Goodman's output cannot be posted for safety reasons, but it started with "MELVIN ODOOM? MELVIN OH-NO'S MORE LIKE]

Janette & Melvin combined score: -1488/10 - Enoch Powell!

So it would've went the same way regardless.

A year ago nobody would have believed Donald Trump would be the Republican candidate for President of the USA.

As you say, nothing is impossible. Well... apart from the UK ever winning another Eurovision Song Contest.

Someone is saying that the votes had to be recounted because there WAS a tie

well its the 2nd dance off to be cancelled in the 14 series and different rules have applied, I'm partly with Ola since when they cancelled it for Tom& Camilla they just let battle recommence, the same should've happened here with a double elimination this week, with the lowest public vote leaving then the next 2 bottom do the dance off

No. There were a couple of posts on the Strictly facebook page from the same person saying that there was a tie and part of the hold up was a recount.

Oh, right, the FACEBOOK page, yes that definitely sounds worth repeating. Did they also let us know whether Anastacia did 9/11?

If you believe they lied about a rule and have misled the voting public then surely you have a duty to report that to the authorities , I assume you have evidence that contradicts this and proves all those involved with Strictly colluded to not only invent a rule but also defrauded the public who paid to vote by phone.
