This petition isn't going to change anything. She's gone and that's it. We can't do anything about it.

I too was sad and annoyed to see her go last night. She should have made it to the final. But as soon as Craig Revel-Horwood said "I save Ore and Joanne", due to the predictable nature off how the dance-off judges voting usually goes I then thought "Oh that's it now. They're all going to vote to save Ore and Joanne! So Claudia's gone tonight.".
Yeah but it still wouldn't have included Claudia because of the knife fight incident backstage at Blackpool. Plus of course the cancellation of the final because of what Tess said about Muslims two weeks after that.

Rewriting the past is such fun!
This is why Gorka didn't want to press charges. Pay off.

I hear Stephanie Beacham, as a former winner, is going to reprise her showdance to 'Oops! Upside Your Head! (Ft. nice sit down).

I would pay to see that!

Full marks she got for it, 120/120. Len said it was the best Showdance he'd seen since Snowdon.

The public did not vote enough for Claudia, she lost the vote. Had she had more points I think she still would have been in the dance off. I wonder how many people who are shouting fix, actually voted?
NOT SURE ABOUT THE 'MORE POINTS' MAKING NO DIFFERENCE. ORE WENT FROM BOTTOM TWO THE WEEK BEFORE to beating danny this week. THAT HAS TO BE BECAUSE OF THE 'POINTS' BOOSTER' the judges gave him on saturday. Put claudia at the top of the leaderboard and she only had to finish third in the public vote to have sailed through.
Not sure about a petition...but something stinks about the way the judges behaved on saturday. THE PERCEPTION IS THE THREE IN THE FINAL ARE THE ONES THEY WANTED ALL ALONG....they just gave ore the helping hand he needed at the expense of claudia, who could have finished second in the public vote for all we know, and still gone home!

Claudia got less public votes than Louise. That is why she was in the dance off - nothing to do with the judges.
It was the judges low scores that put her at the bottom of the leader board.

Well said. This is the situation in a nutshell and good luck to the OP with the petition. Nowt wrong with putting in a bit of effort for what you believe in.

As could Ed, as could Judge Rinder. I don't remember anyone starting a petition for them, throwing a fit and demanding the votes of people who voted perfectly validly for other couples be thrown out because they didn't get the result they wanted and it wasn't faaaaaair.

But according to Craig in the DO - Claudia's QS was worth a 10, yet he didn't give it to her. Every point the judges give or don't give affects their position on the leader board and how many points they receive to go towards the over all points, which will decide whether or not they will be in the DO. That is how Production can manipulate things.
There are those of us who think this was a deliberate ploy to make sure Claudia was in the DO and out of the competition.

I see James Jordan is sounding off but sadly I do agree with him in this instance.

He said Claudia and AJ should still be in and that he wont be watching it any more.

Its a shame that it has come from him and not someone with more credibility, then someone on high might take notice.

Well, something good has come from this whole mess. Every cloud really does have a silver lining.



Sadly, his big mouthed, trouble making, tin-foil hat wearing, Clifton hating self will be front and centre on Saturday, offering his own special brand of impartial commentary. He knows that without Strictly he is nothing so won't be able to stay away.

He also said in his advice to her before the DO that the reason he didn't give her a 10 earlier in the evening was because of gapping and that this was the area that she could improve upon in the DO.

This is just a lot of fuss over nothing.
I'd have liked to see Claudia in the final, I think she's had a raw deal. But so have a few more over the years.
This is primarily an entertainment show and the BBC steer it in the direction they want it to go. Nothing would become of any petition. It wouldn't influence the BBC one little bit.
They'll say the result is entirely down to the "independent" judges and the public.

It'll be the mixture as before next year and all the protestations will be long forgotten by then.

I struggle to see what on earth the BBC would have to gain by trying to get Claudia kicked out of the competition. And pl;ease in response don't bang on about the Tour. If any conspiracy involving the Judges and senior BBC Executives was ever proved not only would the show be cancelled but there would be huge repercussions for all involved.

To spellit out

The judges scores gave

Ore 4
Danny 3
Louise 2
Claudia 2

The GBP voted for Louise to be excluded from the Dance Off. If Claudia was as popular with the voting public as some on here claim she would have gone through to the final.

Quite simply Louise got more votes than both Claudia and Danny. . It's interesting that so few of you are getting that point of fact.

Good grief...how old is he. He's acting like a petulant teen that demands his own way in all things. Some of us voted for Ore and Louise....we have as much right to a say as anyone else. Spoilt brat. 😏

I think his main point was that he felt that Claudia danced better than Danny in the dance off.

And he was quite right. Based on the dance off alone, Claudia was clearly the best.

If it was a "deliberate ploy", why didn't they make Claudia bottom of the leader board instead of tied with Louise ? That would have given her even less chance of surviving.
It was sad to see the two best performaces of the night pitted against each other. I couldn't separate them and would have given them both 10's the first time around for those dances (don't forget both were weaker in their other dances)
In the dance-off, again it was difficult to pick a winner, but I would have gone for Danny by the slimmest of margins. But in the end it was the public who put them in the bottom two, and it would probably have been an even greater travesty if Danny had left after being the best and most consistent dancer throughout.

I don't think so. We all have different opinions. I think Claudia danced very well in the dance off, but I think Danny did, too, and what he did was more difficult.

It is not a fuss over nothing, it is a RTV show and people spend money voting and it was wrong to treat Claudia the way the judges did.

Yes, I thought Claudia's QS was great. But it is a dance we're used to seeing performed at a high level by the best of the contenders. Danny's AS was more eye catching in my opinion, thanks again to Oti's fabulous choreography.
As I said previously, the two best dances of the night. A pity one couple had to go.
