Sorry if this has been covered in an earlier thread, but I never heard anyone explain how they are coping with Jimmy Tarbuck having dropped out.

Presumably at this stage there should still be 9 couples left. If one goes every week they will get to the finals a week early, so what are the contingency plans?

No one seems to know.

I hope they don't go Big Brother style and bring in another couple!! Then again.. that might be quite fun.. especially if they have been training on the sly!

We don't know. I remember there being mention of an 'exciting twist', but I don't know what came of that, so it can't have been that exciting (or it's still to come).

Thanks people. I thought I must have missed an announcement and everyone else knew what was happening.

But you know, when every week they say "we don't want anyone to go, but someone has to", they could just for once let everyone stay and that would sort it.

Maybe it's happened but it was so unexciting that we missed it??

Still think the "exciting twist" will be around Children in Need week and it will boil down to nobody being eliminated.

I would love to take odds on what they're going to do to keep us phoning in.
a) to aid CIN
b) to keep the momentum.

Or maybe we get to vote in a couple we have already eliminated that week... perhaps it will give Spoony & Ola another chance?

When Big Brother did that, didn't they get a lot of flak for it? I believe they were being investigated, and I think there was some talk that the people who voted might be entitled to get their money back. So I don't think the BBC will go down this route...

I'm hoping for a week where no-one goes.

Slightly different scenario with BB, people spent money voting someone out, SCD use positive voting so no-one in effect has wasted money evicting Spoony.

However I dont think it`s fair if they bring someone back, especially so late in the programme, all the remaining couples have spent weeks and weeks practising etc.,

this is gonna sound strange but why on earth did zoe did the group samba??? maybe they are planning on put zoe back in??
