Yeah! I thought of that afterwards, so edited my post.
"Ratings rule!"
Will Young has left Strictly Come Dancing

This gives the BBC a problem.
To keep to the schedule, "no one is going to be fed to the lions this week," which could affect the ratings. So probably won't happen.
They won't bring anyone back, (why one rather than the other?)
The obvious plan would be to have another "roll-over" of votes.”

They'll just cut the final down to three couples; they won't do a rollover. They may tense up if a celebrity injures themselves though!
Poor Will; I hope he's okay. Poor Karen to go out in this fashion too.
Stunned by this as I thought Will would go far so it is shocking.
Does anyone know what the 'personal reasons' are?

I wouldn't be surprised to see them try and ease her out the door this weekend.

I'd imagine she'll be out come sunday anyway

As long as she's kept out of the dance-off, I doubt it will be a problem.

Why not? Do you know something we don't?

Doubt it. She and Will were the 'big names'
Haven't there been previous cases where people had to drop out but they have never reinstated someone previously eliminated.
I presume ITT was pre-recorded tonight?

I guess they won't have an elimination this week, Halloween or Blackpool. Hope it's not 3 in the final. I wouldn't like that

Spread the final over 2 weeks?
Hope Will is OK.
Poor Karen.

No, just have three people in the final, which is how it used to be for years anyway.
Is much better that way because it means we get to find who the "runner up" is!

They won't skip an elimination.

Being famous doesn't give an audience an automatic right to know about someone's personal, possibly upsetting, details. Isn't the fact that they're dancing for our pleasure and entertainment enough?
I think the problems with Anastacia's elimination means they're going to have to be very consistant now with everything they've done before in terms of their rules, and this has happened before, and no elimination was cancelled.

I doubt it. Louise has done very little for about ten years, other than a brief stint on So You Think You Can Dance. I always thought Greg's stellar achievements at the Olympics were over-shadowed because he won his medal on the same day as Jessica and Mo. I just don't think sportsmen have the fan base that a pop star does - lovely though he is.
I would prefer a 3 couple final too, that's how it used to be before 2012.
Shocked that Will has left, hope he's alright.
Cynically, I bet Louise Rainbow and the producers are loving all of this press interest, which there has been a lot of this year!
