American Article Looking At Strictly's Semi-Final Fix
Stephen_101
13-12-2016
I've noticed quite a lot of websites picking up Saturday's Strictly and the fix claims — specifically using the James Jordan and Brendan Cole comments. I've seen articles on several sites, specifically the Mirror and the Sun. I guess its the biggest Strictly fix story since Peter Andre V Jamelia last year. I'm glad they're all covering it because the blatant favouritism on Saturday and Sunday night was a disgrace. I also saw an article from the US website Movie Pilot talking about the Strictly fix which I thought was pretty cool. It actually delves into the arguments made and why people are calling it a fix and I have to say it makes some pretty interesting points. Here it is if you want to check it out:

Fan favourites who didn't get enough votes to keep them out of the bottom two.😂

Interesting read. It stinks but it will carry on. Cry me a river or Louise to win.

I believe theyve done it for the rating... make a noise... create controversy so they are talk about against X factor final... well they have got what they wanted... but they lost credibility...

Modern journalism - a web page of uninformed opinion completed by web links to a few videos and twitter feeds.

To be fair, that US page was better than most but still falls under the above description.

It was a rather unfortunate turn of phrase in the article, saying that the "phone lines were fixed" when they meant mended.

When you put it like that...

I like how the article broke down the evident fix. It really shows how favoritism can play a part in fixing the show.

It wasn't fixed. Not enough people voted for Danny. Lots of people voted for Louise.

Any publication that uses James Jordan quotes as 'evidence' should be laughed at immediately.
who me?

That's pretty funny.

The OP says he "noticed" these websites. It looks more like a huge, deliberate effort on his part to go purposely trawling through the web and hunting down any such stories he could find.
Isn't this the same OP who either set up or linked to that ridiculous petition to have his favourite, Claudia, re-instated due to what he felt was a 'fix'?
There was no fix, IMO.

Hey I only post what I saw. I follow people on Twitter and check the news, I didn't go searching for anything and I didn't set up that petition. And there clearly was some manipulation on the judges votes. Don't shoot the middleman 😟

Jeez!
There was no fix
The producers have nothing to gain by any particular celeb winning
The ratings will not be influenced by who has been eliminated

Perhaps not a fix but a slight bit of manipulation in my opinion.
