You can then speculate what a final might have looked like - if its judges choice the judges might give her a weak dance, but, otherwise, she's got dances as good as anyone to revisit, and she can do a showdance thats really voter friendly.
The question is why they wouldn't want that . And how on earth you could prove it, or disprove it - without thoroughly investigating everyone involved.”
Very good points. The bias, preference,favourite - whatever you want to call it - by the judges has been evident for quite a few weeks now and I really hate it.
Perhaps an easy way would be to publish the voting figures every week - that would stop all the speculation.
One point, which I'm sure has been made on this thread is that there were technical problems with both the online and telephone lines for both Danny and Louise - don't know about the others as I didn't use them. This could explain the result - and going on from this, I personally think the voting time should have been extended by the time the fault occurred.
