Based on last night Louise should have gone.
I do not believe it!

How long have you held this unshakeable belief that your view is the same as everybody else in the country and any deviation from that obviously means nefarious forces must be at work?
Although surely these evil shadowy members of the Hellfire Club should also hold your views?

Neither of them should have been in the bottom two I knew and Claudia and AJ knew before they danced that Danny would be saved. But in my opinion Claudia and AJ were so much better in the dance off. Well done to them both on their dignified exit

Public votes follow patterrns and ideally follow real world events.
There was zero reason to think that both Louise and Ore could beat both Claudia and Danny. Voting history on the show witnessed by dance off appearances, PAST performance ,last night's efforts, and fan bases, wouldn't suggest it.
In those circumstances, its natural, and the intelligent thing to do, to ask whats going on here. And the first thing you notice is wide agreement that the leader board, and comment , didn't reflect performance People following what they were told, and falling for his journey story , may explain Ore.. There's no obvious reason for Louise getting a bigger vote, and not having her previous vote problem, on 2 mediocre dances - she's just had less attention for her past training than Danny has,.
Thais not allowing for the voting system collapsing on the night - which doesn't help credibility.
Well Claudia certainly wasn't one of the "chosen ones". With regards to Danny, I think people just became complacent and assumed he'd be safe. He'll get a huge rebound in votes next week and win imo.

At no point have I, had a favourite this year. I do, have an antipathy though to fixes so big that an elephant could hide behind them.

How? By whom? The judges marked Louise bottom of the leader board. She must have got the public votes. Are you saying the public are 'manipulating' the vote. Talk sense.

Well as it was impossible to vote for Danny and Claudia at the beginning of the voting the only fair thing would be for all of them to be in the final, but the he BBC don't do fair!

The shrieks and wails of "fix" are quite hilarious but sad!

Just because you make a bizarre statement and claim that an elephant could see it doesn't actually make it true.
Who, specifically, are the judges "fixing it" for? How are they doing this? Do you think they all get together before the show to agree exactly how many marks they're going to give each couple? How does it benefit the BBC to impose a winner than most of their loyal viewers don't want?
this thread (and indeed this forum) is hilarious

The same problem existed with Ore. I tried 4 votes that failed before leaving it five minutes and getting the votes to register.
Ironically the dance I liked best last night was Claudia's QS. And I am pretty neutral about the paid performers who take part in the show, which is why I normally don't vote. I just don't care enough to bother.

He may have lost some votes to Claudia, many on here were saying they were because of the judges bias?

I think Danny is a fabulous dancer and I have fully expected him to win from the start.

Why is it pointless? You could say that about all the threads
This a forum to discuss our views and vent our frustrations if we feel like it. As soon as it was announced that Danny was in the DO I was highly sceptical of him having received fewer votes than Louise or Ore. It is my belief that the powers-that-be at strictly have their own agenda and will manipulate a situation to serve their own ends. (Peter Andre/Anastacia) Has Claudia signed up for the tour? Is new boy AJ going to get preference over the more seasoned Pros? I have enjoyed Claudia & AJ's performances but not to any great extent until last week when i thought they were really, really good and this week when they were fabulous - better than Louise. I still say FIX.

I agree, that what's obvious to me and to many others might not be obvious to you.

Which previous vote problem for Louise would that be? She's never been in the bottom two.
The public voted for the two dancers tonight that are able to emote and move others with their dancing. I admit I'm surprised, but rather pleasantly. I somehow assumed this board would mirror the public vote. Clearly not.
This was a shocker of a result as far as I'm concerned. However, the fault is down to the Great British Public. Claudia and Danny were both in the dance off because the public voted for Louise instead. End of Story.

How can you know that? If WIll hadn't left, there may well have been an entirely different final four.

Its creeping in everywhere now. Some posters seem incapable of just praising their favourite without indulging in mud slinging and conspiracy theories. Every one of the contestants has been great and worked their socks off.

I also tried several times to vote for Ore. Left it for too long and gave up, only finding out (too late) that the lines had stayed open for a bit longer due to the problem. How that can be a fix is beyond me.

Even more of a fix than I thought.
