I'm afraid a petition will achieve nothing, but I agree, Claudia was undermarked and should have been in the final.

Don't start blaming Will Young for there not being 4 people in the final! It wouldn't have taken Einstein to just not have a vote off one week and then you could have had 4 people in the final.
Anyway the judges are probably glad there are only 3 in the final, as they clearly wanted Claudia out, who actually deserved to be in the final. It's a real pity that one couple has been deprived of a final place they deserved and we won't get to see their showdance. But the public knew the score: both Claudia and Louise were at the bottom of the leaderboard. They could have made Claudia safe. They chose Louise. |

Do people genuinely believe that the voting problems only affected Danny and Claudia?
![]() I voted for both Ore AND Claudia at the weekend and had problems for both of them. There are conspiracy theories and then just out and out lying and the idea that the voting only worked against Danny and Claudia is just a lie. But yeah, start a petition because you didn't like the result - that'll go well, I bet. |

Some Posters on here are just afraid a petition will affect the future of SCD rather than disagreeing with an unfair result.

In that case it would still have been Danny or Claudia leaving.

The word fix has lost all meaning by this point. It's been used and abused where it's now become a joke that simply means - I didn't get what I want. Quote:
Me too, although I thought Craig was the only one who was consistent with his marking on Saturday, but I'd also like some kind of an enquiry as to why you couldn't vote online for the first 10 minutes the vote was open AND why Danny and Claudia's telephone lines were not working properly for the first 10 minutes - this is actually a very serious question imo.
My mother voted for Ore and it took about 10 minutes just to get through one vote. If the judges were trying to save Ore then they messed up by allowing there to be a tie for 3rd, then Louise clearly must have got the votes to finish above both Claudia and Danny. The judges can only do so much, the public did the rest, unless people are mad at them too for having their own opinions?. |

Well it IS because of Will's decision to leave that the public is being deprived of a four-couple final.
The reason they added an additional star is to allow someone to drop out, because when someone did several series ago they ended up with a two person final and that didn't work. So they added a spare and when people drop out because of injury, family bereavement or the such it's all good. They still get a three person final as they planned. It's when no one drops out (as has happened since) that they get stuck with a four person final. That's not the plan, that's an aberration. It's like the middle Sunday at Wimbledon, the plan isn't to have one but if it rains a lot and they get behind they are forced to have one. But people shouldn't moan saying "it's the sunny weathers fault we are being deprived of a middle Sunday because that just means all's well.. |

It's not meant to be a four person final, the whole idea of Strictly is to have a three person final. That's the plan. That's how it's been from the beginning.

What I found particularly cunning was the way in which the judges figured out that giving Louise and Claudia exactly the same marks at the bottom of the leaderboard would result in Louise (and more importantly Kevin Clifton, who is controlling them, along with his wife and sister!!!!) getting a massive sympathy vote and being saved.
Meanwhile, despite being undermarked in what everyone who liked her best can see was a really obvious way, the public somehow didn't vote to overturn this injustice, condemning Claudia to the dance off against Danny. Thank God so many people here have seen through their cunning plan. Don't take off those tin-foil hats! The Cliftons' mind-control rays may still get through... |

I've just taken the time to actually read the petition. What a whining mess it is.
No fans of any couple could get through at one point. Big mistake not saying that rather than just Claudia and Danny fans. Think I will start one now because I am sure once Len gave Louise the side eye and Craig was mean to Ore! |

As for the judges, well to be honest I think they should be ashamed of themselves for manipulating the scores but that's been true for many years, and especially shocking this year. Sadly it seems that the very vocal people who believe that Claudia and Danny were the best were a minority when it came to those who voted. |

yeah,
who on earth is going to pay the slightest bit of attention to this ridiculous petition, the basis of which seems to be a sour grapes 'My special favourite went out of the competition, I don't like it and just can't accept it.' |
