The public put them in the bottom 2, I think there was a problem with the voting for everybody and Claudia and Danny were unlucky, I don't think it is a fix but the judges dance off vote, I didn't feel was correct.

Definitely a fix, it is so obvious.

Also, I would have preferred Ore and Louise in the dance off but what will be will be.

Ore got more votes than Danny and Louise got more votes than Claudia. If they hadn't, the dance-off would have been different, but them's the breaks.

There are far greater injustices in this world than in SCD.
Every series things get blown out of all proportion.
I have long since learnt to treat the conspiracy and fix stuff with the contempt it deserves. Dances get overscored and underscored and yeah it's annoying but it isn't the end of civilisation as we know it.
Stuff happens.
On Saturday the public voice will have spoken and that will be that.

The GBP voted different to some people's individual preference and thus the competition is a fix.

Wasn't Natalie G first place when she was in the bottom 2 in the semis? If people wanted Ore there, he would have been there.

No...it is what it is...'Strictly'.

The public put Danny and Claudia in the DO. The judges eliminated Claudia. No one died and the sun rose on schedule Sunday morning.

It's not MY prefererence. Just what I saw and heard from so called judges. Something is a bit 'off'.

I'm not talking about public vote. I'm talking about Judges scores.

It is a travesty of justice and a bloody fix when your personal favourites end up in the bottom 2, but then if your personal least favourites are in the bottom two, justice has been perfectly served and there has been no fix whatsoever.
Mmmm.
Why don't people just admit the manipulation and fixes charges they are levelling are just because they can't accept that the public did not want their favourite, and their favourite got dumped out of the competition by the GBP. Denial is not just a river in Africa, it seems

The setting up of this type of thread is the better example of a travesty of justice, I would say.

That's arguable.

What is NOT arguable is that Claudia didn't beat Louise in the vote.

And Ore must have beaten Danny.

You do not know who my personal favourites are. In fact one of them are in the top two. This does not preclude me from saying they may not deserve to be there based on the judges crazy scoring.

And Louise must have beaten Danny too. So she was 1st or 2nd in the public vote.

I don't think there was a voting issue and I bet it is a fix

Yeah there was some weird marking, but that's life unfortunately. The judges are only one side of the story on SCD - you can blame popularity with GBP too.

I was very very surprised to see Danny in the dance off I must say. Maybe I'm drinking the digital spy kool aid but I figured he was topping public vote every week.

I think people didn't vote because they didn't think he needed the votes and in a sense they were right. I'm surprised too and would have prefered Ore vs Louise.

A travesty of Justice??

No. It's a Saturday night entertainment programme which some folks take to a dangerous level of involvement. TBH, it's scary how involved some of the audience are.

Dangerous level of involvement - that's a bit OTT.

Some people like to see fair play and to a lot of people on here, and off, it was not fair play on Saturday.

If people want to get involved and feel very strongly about it, then it is their right to do so. It may not be your way but they shouldn't be condemned if it is theirs.

'A dangerous level'. Don't be silly. We all have different views. It's what a forum is about. Without our input there would be no forum. It's not 'scary'. We just love to argue/discuss albeit passionately sometimes

Thank you for your comments-food for thought!!

I watch the show and have loved it since day one-the dresses, make up, music, theatricality of the whole thing. Some years I have a favourite, most years not. I usually come to his forum on a Saturday night for the spoiler .

As we're so near the end I have wandered into other threads and have been surprised at the level of emotion. One thing that did stand out was that the folks who are crying foul, have absolutely no proper evidence and they all are angry because THEIR choice left the show.

TBH, if there was any skulduggery going on ref public vote or even judges votes, it would have surfaced well before now.

If throwing insults at each other suits some, fine, but please lets keep a sense of proportion,
