But, at least he knows he doesn't know.
That's actually where I stand (despite the fact some people might have wrongly deduced otherwise) Doesn't mean it's wrong to at least consider the possibility though. |

I would point out that Anthony Ogogoo was really really bad last year.
I'm glad Otti has a decent partner this year. I like her. |

I think Anthony Ogogoo had attitude, I think he did not like being partnered with Oti right from the word go. BBC were wrong to put them together IMO.

As came across in an interview, he expected the BBC would spread the races out a bit and not put him with Oti

Yes, was he also injured? I am not sure but I heard that he didn't too well because of his injury. TBH I really don't remember any of this.
Just found an article and he had had surgery which meant he couldn't box which is why he did Strictly. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/34017448 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ocked-out.html |

Exactly, perhaps this will shut up all those crying racism.

Their heights matched, which was a good reason for putting them together. Surely it is the people who say they shouldn't have been put together who are racist, most people, of which I am one, took no notice at all what colour they were.

Well this was the test wasn't it? If the voting was racist Ore would have been in the dance off tonight and he wasn't. Neither were Danny and Oti.

Doesn't prove anything just like Melvin and Tameka going first doesn't prove anything.
Ore could have been anywhere from 1st in the vote to 9th in the vote. Melvin could have been high up or low down or bottom when he left. Declaring anything definitely or definitely not racially biased based on individual results is ridiculous. |

If that were true, that would suggest to me that the show's producers had already identified Danny as a potentially capable dancer.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/a...c-over-6617178 Anthony Ogogo SLAMS BBC over 'race' pairing saying he thought Strictly Come Dancing bosses would 'spread minorities around' Not so sure how true this is http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015...n_8174550.html South African Otlile, who is brand new to the BBC dance show this year, has labelled boxer Anthony Ogogo an ‘arsehole’ ahead of this Friday’s first live show Quote:
No I didn't either just that he wasn't very good and Jeremy Vine and Ainsley Hariott were a lot more engaging. I liked Ote actually from the start as did many she seemed fun and it's lovely to see her doing so well this year.

Ore winning doesn't prove there's no bias against black contestants that affects Strictly voting; it just shows that, if there's a bias, it's not so strong that it outweighs so many other factors that a black contestant can't win.
