As the voting is centralised so if there is an issue online or with the phone lines it will happen whoever you are trying to vote for I don't think it will have greatly affected the outcome

All my votes went to Claudia this week. I don't know who I'll be switching allegiances to in the final. I've already had to switch allegiances enough this series especially the last 3 weeks

It might be a bit of a blessing in disguise for Claudia. She's the only one with a strenuous "day job," preparing for the British Gymnastics Championships in March. Then more events throughout the year. Even if she'd won Strictly she would not be going on the tour.
She's an elite Olympic athlete, like Greg, but hers is multi-disciplined, so there's a lot of work to be done in the next three months.

If they repeat last year's fiasco, we'll see Danny's FT again. (Judge's "choice" was simply each couple's lowest scoring dance)

However, I don't think Louise was as good as Danny tonight - in fact I thought she was the weakest dancer, and Ore is the judge's pet. I so wanted Claudia to do well - she is a little fizzer and she danced her socks off tonight. Absolutely the wrong decision - but as long as she keeps on dancing. I thought her quickstep was absolutely brilliant. Shame on those judges. ”

So Ore is the judges pet? Is that just this week then?

Because it certainly wasn't true for weeks beforehand.

I agree. Judges were scoring Joanne not Ore. Only dance tonight I scored 10 was Claudia quickstep. Her Rumba was ropey though.

As far as I understand it the website was down for everyone choose as who you were voting for

However I suppose it could be said that some of them are more likely to have phone voters than others so in that respect it may have made a difference?

I want Danny to win but at this point I would rather see Ore win before Louise. Ideal finish for me :

Danny
Ore
Louise”

Sorry, my Abbey vibes were purely "famous footballer husband with a shedload of cash to spare" vibes. Not "she's just like Abbey" vibes.

I mean, not that I'm saying that Abbey won because her financially stacked hubby fixed it - no, no, not at all (but it might have had an influence but it probably didn't). I mean, if that was the case, Holly Valance would have walked it surely given that her husband to be owned most of the world!

Actually, I was quite chuffed with the Abbey win. I quite liked them (although I liked Natalie and Artem more).

Now, of course, seeing the pro-nightmare that thwarted victory has unleashed, I wish Susannah had taken that one.

Only Jay and Kellie had their lowest scoring dances picked last year. Katie's qs in particular was far from her worst given her ropey party latin.

I'm talking about the "rule" that supposedly prevented any couple picking a dance from the three weeks before the final. This ruled out Jay's charleston, rumba and tango which all scored as highly or higher than the jive. It seemed to be a "rule" that would shunt Jay into choosing his jive by default. As we all know now, it didn't.

I stand by what I said. I do believe that if they thought Louise was in danger with the public she would have been higher on the leader board and if by some quirk of voting she had been in the bottom two she would have been saved against either Claudia or Ore. I actually thought it would be a Claudia vs Ore DO with Claudia going. Claudia was the one they wanted gone and so I'm not really that surprised at the outcome the only surprise is that Danny (who the judges would save over all of them) was there and not Ore.

It will be interesting to see/hear whether Bruno or another judge says "you shouldn't be here" to Danny.

I agree. They scored Joanne for the AT not Ore who just stood and was danced around.

Having said that Ore was not the worst dancer tonight imho Louise was (And I like both Louise and Kevin normally)

Danny and Claudia were the best. Danny edged it for me.

lets face it TPTB know who has the higher vote from the public so a little judge manipulation goes a long way to getting who they want in the final no matter who danced best on the night

after not being able to vote tonight I hope its mended before next week

Do you know which of Georgia and Katie's dances were their lowest scoring? I confess to not checking on Katie, but I thought I had looked up Georgia. What other reason could there be for choosing her rumba which was low scored mostly because it barely had any rumba in it, so was very unsuitable for judge's choice (there being no way to improve it without re-choreographing, which I believe they in part did).

I hope they don't pick their worst dances. I want an entertaining final with great dancing.

It would have effected all contestants equally. It took me a good 10 mins to register my votes for Ore and Louise.

This makes absolutely no sense. The judges did nothing to make sure Louise would be in the finale, they did the exact opposite. They gave her lowest points, she was at the bottom of the leaderboard. The judges have no clue how the viewers will vote, either.

The judge's make the rules up whoever they want for the final, I'd love to see Danny and Oti dance the Foxtrot again and absolutely nail it, I love Oti's choreo even with the mistake's I enjoyed it.

I think Laura is saying they knew she would be fine with the public so didn't need to place her highly. A tied last place was good enough
