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.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

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.

Errrr, Louise didn't have lifts ... in fact I don't think she's had any or very few anyway, doesn't seem to have put her fans off.
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.

Hahahahahaha!!


I'd settle for it not being a grump-fest 😏

Haha .. they had faces like smacked arses!

And it was just that much more satisfying for it.

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

That's why I hope Danny wins cause I think he is at the bottom of their wish list.

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

Easy to confuse with disappointment I believe.

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the judges have more experience with this sort of thing than Danny does.

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.

Don't hold your breath after last year.

Ha, no worries! Yeah, we're talking about the judges.

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.

He's been CONSISTENTLY given very high marks though

And it was his lack of VOTES that put him in the DO he was second on the leaderboard

I don't think they're against Danny at all. In fact he's blue eyed boy.

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.

On the other hand, some fans just INSIST their favourite is being persecuted when there's no bloody evidence at all.

So the judges can do what they like and it's interpreted in any way, however blatantly weird, to suit.

Fascinating.

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

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.

But why do you think Danny is NOT?

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
