Final, Can the Judges just play fair?
The judging has been really inconsistent this series. Even although the scores are just advisory tomorrow, the comments and the scores will still be influential.
Some professionalism, fairness and even-handedness would be very welcome. |

They won't. They'll be championing someone in a not too subtle, hit you over the head with it, sort of way. My guess is Kevin.
We took no notice of them last year though

In full Trump fashion it will of course be a fix, unless the person you want wins.

I don't think the scores are influential at all. There's been plenty of times when the judges' favourite hasn't won.

It's not so much the judges as the producers who have played games this time. Giving Claudia two non-lift dances in the semi-final was cruel when you consider the praise heaped on that element for the other couples. What chance did she have?

The judging is irrelevant in the final.
Whatever they do they will be lampooned anyway but it is so not important. The voters will do what they want anyway. |

Doubt it very much, and despite the end result, it can often leave a sour taste when they promote one couple, not always fairly.

The QS suited Claudia down to the ground and is an excellent semi-final dance. |

I wouldn't worry about it too much. They didn't play fair last year and it still turned out fine.

Some professionalism, fairness and even-handedness would be very welcome. I'd settle for it not being a grump-fest 😏 |

And it was just that much more satisfying for it.

But I'm betting you didn't think Danny and Oti had faces like smacked arses when they were in the DO?

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the judges have more experience with this sort of thing than Danny does.
![]() Oh yeah the Judges really surprised me on the final last year. I though Craig saying Jay wasn't the best was very ungracious. |

Huge apology offered, I read it as Kevin and Kellie having faces liked smacked arses
![]() Oh yeah the Judges really surprised me on the final last year. I though Craig saying Jay wasn't the best was very ungracious. And yeah, the judges have always been really weird about Jay. Between Craig's constant snide commentary and Len busting out his version of "PFFT! Jay who??" this year during Ore's jive, it's just really bizarre. But that's okay. Things turned out just fine. |

Wasn't it just. They really wanted Kellie and Kevin to win but they were out manoeuvred by Jay fans.

Whichever one they promote will lose.
So everyone should hope that the judges are mean to their particular favourite. It's a double bluff of a fix. Snigger. |

To be honest, I'm not watching the final because I'm not particularly keen on any of them but there is one celeb that I don't like at all and it will spoil it for me if they win. I'm going to vote for Danny (that's if I know when the lines are open) because to my mind he is the best of the three. Just a personal choice and I know a lot of people wont agree with me. First final I will have missed since series one. |

Its funny that we see things differently. I think Ore is their blue eyed boy and Louise a close second.

First final I will have missed since series one. Ore languished behind Louise and Danny and sometimes Claudia too, and he was in the DO in the quarters. You seem to be basing it solely on the semi final. As for Danny, there's just NO evidence that he's not a favourite NONE. It's irrational. Does he ALWAYS have to be top, otherwise it's 'not fair'? |

I can see it being biased in order to try and get Kevin to win so I don't think it will be fair unfortunately
