Hahhaahahaha. Trust me, you don't get to produce a big show like Strictly if you're not smart enough to know how to manipulate the end result.

What would they gain? Ore's a BBC star. They want someone to win who's on the BBC.

And the judges are certainly smart enough to know how to vote - they all wear earpieces for a reason. They know the scores as they go along so they know what score they need to give out to get who they want in a certain position.

If you don't want to believe it, fine, but having worked on a similar show myself I can tell you it absolutely happens.
Yes, they're so desperate for BBC employees to win the last one to do so was noted judge and producer favourite Chris Hollins, seven years ago.

They were the three I wanted in the final so I'm a happy bunny. My votes went to Ore and Louise.

JSi think you'll find Ore will be out first.

How many times has popular Ore been in the DO 😀
Ore has been in the dance-off one more time than Danny.

Do you enjoy being spiteful?
It's not spite. It's pure joy at the ludicrous over reactions on here and the massive bitter goggles.

I don't dislike Danny, I think he's a very nice dancer and if he wins fair play. I just don't give a flying monkeys if he wins or not because he's isn't very engaging and tbh the more people bluster the more I feel inclined to start throwing votes at the Clifton siblings and their partners.

Rather than feeling sorry for me perhaps you should chill out a bit with the anger. It's only a dance show.

I don't disbelieve you, and I certainly believe that the Judges are or think that they are manipulating things and maybe that has helped say Ore to get this far.

However you can't always manipulate the vote, particularly the casual vote and sometimes (often) the public does what it wants. You can't install likability or charisma or the IT factor. Lets just say that if Ore were in another medium and the Strictly audience were not so terribly polite, then there would be a few 'boos' and I really don't think he'll win despite the help. But hey, we'll see..
