There is nothing wrong with the way that SCD is currently being run.
SCD is NOT all about the dancing, if it were then it would be labelled an BBC ARTS programme.
It is labelled as an BBC ENTERTAINMENT programme.
Obviously given the amount of work the professionals (and celebrities) put in then it is only right that good dancing performances should be rewarded, hence the role of the judges and their marks counting for half of the overall total.
Equally people like myself with no real knowledge of dance steps are perfectly entitled to vote for whoever ENTERTAINED them the most.
If as some suggest we should just follow what the judges say, what would be the point of having a public vote at all.
And unlike the biased judges I vote without a preconceived idea of who I want to go.
Hence week 1, I voted for Karen and Bill because their hat-swapping routine was easily the most entertaining.
Another week I voted for Camilla as her routine where she was James' puppet was the most original.
On Saturday I voted for Erin because both her routines were delightful.
Simply voting off the worst dancer each week -according to the biased judges - would ruin the programme.
The public are perfectly entitled to their own opinions.
The programme is and should be, half dance ability and half entertainment.
The judge/public vote system reflects that perfectly.
