The public vote is the tie breaker.. but I dont think it will ever happen to have same judges score and same amount of public vote.

If there are any ties when the 2 are added together, then the person who polled higher in the public vote goes above the other. If for instance this week Judge Rinder had been one place above Claudia in the public vote they they would have tied (as Claudia was one above him on the judges leaderboard) but by virtue of being higher in the public vote Judge would have gone above Claudia and put her into the dance off. |

I agree that it seems highly unlikely to be exactly tied but I guess the beeb must have some arrangement in the event that it were.
As soon as the BBC start considering a tie in the public vote they've also got to consider how accurate their counting is. That sounds trivial but they may have to discount votes that come through 0.1 seconds after the cut off time, the public are going to make some errors in voting/dialing, and so on. We are probably best not worrying about it. Independent auditors should make it fair enough. |

It's from two series back, but there's a section in here about what they do in the event of there being a tie in the judges score and the popular vote. Basically it's "ask Len".

You're probably right and I don't think we know the answer. We might never know since we'll never find out if two couples were tied on public votes.

People's votes also vary with regards to how safe their favourites are seen.
My two favourites at the moment are Louise and Ore but I gave all my votes to Ore at the weekend as I assumed Louise was safe being top and highly unlikely to go in a dance off ... unless against Danny and I felt sure that wouldn't happen. This weekend my vote distribution may change and I think many people are like me with split voting depending on the table, in fact it could even be Danny fans thought he was safe and might have given a few votes to Claudia or Ore if they see Louise as their main opposition. |

Just flor clarity, what we know :
Danny : beat Daisy in wk 6 Louise : beat Laura in wk 3, beat Daisy in wk 5 and wk 6, beat Claudia in wk 9 Claudia : beat Daisy in wk 5, beat Ore in wk 7, lost to Ed, Judge Rinder, Ore, and Louise in wk 9, beat Judge Rinder in wk 10 Judge Rinder : beat Anastacia in wk 2, beat Tameka and Laura in wk 3, beat Anastacia and Naga in wk 4, beat Lesley and Daisy in wk 5, beat Daisy in wk 6, beat Laura and Ore in wk 7, beat Daisy and Greg in wk 8, beat Greg and Claudia in wk 9, lost to Claudia in wk 10 Ore : beat Daisy in wk 6, lost to Danny, Daisy, Claudia, Judge Rinder, Greg and Ed in wk 7 , beat Claudia in wk 9 ![]() It's actually possible to extract more from the "Leaderboard + Public Vote = Bottom Two" equation than most people seem to realise.... ![]() They start off well, approaching it like a logic puzzle (which it mostly is), but then fall short by failing to realise that additional factual information can be determined, above & beyond the obvious divinations. Whilst there's not always huge amounts of extra nuggets to be mined from the available data (it varies), that's not the point. The point is this: the information is almost always highly-revealing. Furthermore, it is usually more consistent, and ultimately proves to be far more reliable (and valuable!) than the more-easily deduced stuff; which is often either self-evident, contradictory, or downright misleading - and therefore of minimal practical use. Once you know where & what to look for (it's almost hiding in plain sight!) and have grasped the undeniable implications, it becomes increasingly simple to gradually complete the jigsaw puzzle of what's really going on, far, fat quicker than most would believe possible (by this or any other means)... which is why I know you just won't believe me ![]() Nevertheless, I reckon it really does provide an essential key for unlocking potential riches... but is still not an absolutely guaranteed path to success, sadly (mainly due to various other pesky factors, many of which can be highly unpredictable. Grrr...) Cheers! PS I have included a few vague clues throughout this post, but please don't ask me to explain what I'm talking about. If you can't figure it out, just assume I'm talking nonsense (after all, that's what I do best!) Last edited by midflight : 28-11-2016 at 23:50. Reason: Minor corrections |

I am 100% sure Claudia was in the top 3 of public vote... you could feel the outcry here and everywhere... and more people throw a vote for her coz they feel the injustice... and yeah she avoided the dance off.
I couldn't feel any outcry anywhere, even on the threads I have paid attention to on here. Although I am prepared to acknowledge there may have been plenty I didn't click on. It is said that 'people like people like themselves' so its likely the people one knows, pays attention to, follow on twitter; if that's your thing will like AJ and Claudia as you appear to do. Quite natural that you will be drawn to and know people who think similarly to you (meaning one, not you specifically). |

That's perhaps because you are tuned into the vocal minority and not the silent majority.

I was reading general feed on twitter and also read strictly youtube comments... and another example when Claudia W asked the judges on Len's lens what Claudia have to do to get a ten... the audience there were very vocal, like saying she deserve tens.
And the studio audience will boo and cheer pretty well anything on cue, it has to be said. |

Yet millions of people watch Strictly and thousands of them vote yet don't use twitter, comment on You Tube or get tickets to the studio. So in the straw poll analysis the majority are not represented.
