I am fed up with infantile threads claiming "bias", "fixing", "favouritism" etc. |

To be fair to Mr. Fromgrimsby, nobody really expected Susanna Reid to be up to much, and considering the oldest woman to win Strictly is Flackers [who was a positively dessicated 34 at the time], being lumped with two marginally famous middle aged ladies could be said to be a definite handicap. Getting two dance trained people on the bounce is a bit wonky, but if you've got more and more trained dancers joining Strictly every year, you've got to give them to someone. Aljaz is designated Tall Bloke, Anton is designated Clumper Babysitter, so you're gonna spread your ringers out among yer Average Sized Dancers, a category which Kevin fits squarely into.
I also feel it's worth pointing out that he's not exactly alone in getting a miracle run of partners - Pasha got four young fit birds on the trot, and people were reckoning Naga had potential until she turned out to be a golf themed plank. Aliona got the omni-talented Matt Baker, ringeriffic Harry Judd and HIS HOLINESS ST. JAY THE EVERJIVING and reacted to Gregg Wallace and Tony Jacklin like someone'd wiped a dog turd on her skirt. Giovanni's had young fit contenders twice in a row. Artem had absolute god tier ringers in Kara Tointon and the absolutely mental actually-a-professional-dancer-until-she-got-injured Natalie Gumede AND Holly "Professional performer" Valance. Karen also had Dave Myers and Jeremy Vine, who were sub-mobile hoofers who looked like they were being operated via levers. And at no point did she seem put out by this. Dudes being overmarked isn't new, either. Remember the traumatic period where Craig kept insisting Lisa Riley was fun? Remember when the judges kept shoving through the twitching corpses of Rachel Riley and Victoria Pendleton? Remember Peter Andre robbing Jamelia? Bloody Chris Hollins and bloody Darren Gough? Louis Smith getting huge marks for shite dances because it was OLYMPIC FRENZY YEAR? Surely there's no big Clifton Agenda behind all that? Surely it's just because the judging panel is 2 guys who only know stagey pop music dance, one posho who only knows ballet and one legit ballroom dude who's a bit wonky and senile? |

I'm not bothered by it as it needs to be called out: it's true!

If people want to believe in conspiracies, who are we to censor them? I fail to see a problem really.

OP, People can have different opinions to you which doesn't necessarily make them infantile.
