Having known Kevin was going through to the final from last night, I couldn't bring myself to watch the reaction from him tonight....

Gapping between Louise and Kevin has been ignored. I didn't care who wins not at all, until the bias going on. Ugh.

Claudia did very well, worked hard and really improved but her QS had gapping.
Ore and .joanne had an even bigger gap in the Argentine Tango!! judges must have missed that🙄

in the dance off i would have picked claudia, but its quite subjective at this point.

only wish they could have all been in the final as would have happened if snoflake will young hadn't dropped out.

It's not surprising when some of his supporters have numerous free voting accounts.
Doesn't that happen every year with all the celebs? I think it is wrong, but don't see why Ore would be suspected to benefit more.

I voted Claudia using my one account and so have no bias in favour of Ore.

(And I would have picked Claudia in the dance off, but hey ho....)

Handed to him on a plate ...courtesy of Darcey and her sidekicks. How did she keep a straight face saying she couldn't believe Danny was in the DO!!
Real insincerity!

I really think the DO should have been between Louise and Ore. Really hope Danny wins now - he is going to get as many votes from me as possible.

The comments are aimed not at him but the bias, hence this thread.
No they haven't been. Since early in the season they have been aimed at individuals. Even today a thread appeared - Does anyone else find the Clifton's as much as I do - or some such. But it the constant calling of "fix" and "its not fair" that pushed my buttons last night.

I do not believe people are still posting pointless threads about baseless conspiracy theories with no substantive evidence whatsoever, and that apparently people don't understand the very simple concept of a public vote...

Ooh la de da...I would say Claudia's buttons have been pushed way more than yours!!

You do know that Argentine Tango is not meant to be danced in traditional ballroom hold?

I don't see how it can be a fix because the tie meant the public vote had a lot of weight. No tied scores by the judges would have been more likely to suggest a fix.

Mathematically
Louise and Ore must have got more public votes than Danny.
Louise must have had more public votes than Claudia.

Based on that voting pattern.
Even if Danny had been one place above Ore, Ore would still have gone through. If Claudia had been one place above Louise, Louise would still have gone through. Claudia's fortunes could have been changed if she'd been ranked first or second and so it is Claudia, not Danny who is most affected by the judges' scores. .

Neither do I, Danny should've gone.
Based on Saturday's dances Louise should have gone but she is doing the tour, the one person not doing the tour is the one sacrificed tonight. Blatant manipulation.

After everything that's happened worldwide this year I can't believe people don't understand that the public can be manipulated into making a certain decision in a vote....

I call it a fix
The public have put Ore and Louise in the dance-off before. What was Danny doing there, after that TWEE Louise & Kevin Samba?
Never mind that Claudia had nearly twice as much content in her 'worst' dance the Rhumba than Ore in the AT.
I don't believe in any of it. It's like Socks the cat all over again.

I wasn't aware it happens every year. I did 3 online votes and 12 paid for votes for Claudia.

I'm off now to make loads of accounts ready for the final.

I'm sure you would. But there you are, negative campaigning doesn't always produce the result you hope for - ask a certain Mr Cameron.

Real insincerity!

I really think the DO should have been between Louise and Ore. Really hope Danny wins now - he is going to get as many votes from me as possible.
Too right I don't think I will be as sad as the Ore voter who admits to having 8 different internet accounts though

i think that hell will need to freeze over, or time will have to be turned back before (some on) the board will accept that Ore and Louise BOTH got more votes than danny.

On the Cameron issue, I certainly concur

It's the same every year. This forum becomes (in parts) quite an unpleasant place towards the final. Too many frothing ninnies attacking the professional dancers, or complaining about a celeb's supposed advantageous experience while ignoring any useful experience or attributes their own preferred winner might have. It's like a return to the playground.
