Just been on BBC website and the main ad for SCD features only 3 couples - not Mark and Karen. The pic of Emma and Darren stays on longer than the others. Subliminal or wishful thinking on the part of the BBC?
I've just posted them as below:-

"On the BBC website today your promotion only shows 3 of the finalists and Keeps Emma Bunton on screen twice as long as the other 2. Why is this? Why is theres no photo of Mark Ramprakash and Karen?"

Have complained against this bias/utter incompetence.

I couldn't agree more. It seems odd to leave anyone off no matter who. I just hope they didn't have this banner ready and used it by mistake. There is no reason with only four couples left why they should only picture three of them. They will have some explaining to do if Mark and Karen leave tonight and some very unhappy voters!
I would be very upset if they knew the result before the programme had even been on. Whether this is the case or not they have left themselves open and it must be some kind of bias to omit one couple. Or complete incompetence.

I am disgusted by this as the beeb run the show, so it is not even tabloid bias. I'm sure fans of any of the contestants who had been left off would feel the same.

I complained too.

I don't get it. I always go straight to bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing for the latest 'news'. What do you mean?

its this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/

I will not bother with their stupidity, to be honest. *off to vote for Mark and Karen again*

Gosh, the show hasn't even started and I have voted for them several times already this week! I think I am going MAD!

That is OUTRAGEOUS

No, SCD-Observer you're not the only one.....the phone bill yikes I dun even wanna think about it at the moment...

Well, if this really is what the BBC want as opposed to incompetence, I suggest we do exactly what they don't want and vote for Mark as often as our purse strings will allow! That'll show 'em!

I have just phoned the BBC complaints/ino number 08700100222. Spoke to real person and made my complaint about the website.
I ended by saying 'It's a cock-up, subliminal or bias' response I got was that I could be assured that it wasn't subliminal or bias!!!!!

You guys are AMAZING! That poor receptionist! He/she wouldn't know what'd hit him/her!

It wasn't subliminal or bias, it's DELIBERATE!

Okay, jokes aside, setting my computer ready to record the show...

LOL... talk about crazy, anything to have a bash at Emma.

Really quite unbelievable -hope it's incompetence but it certainly looks like bias -maybe they know something we don't!

Umm xflare no one's talking about Emma specifically.....

Quote from the first post:

Is this an Emma bashing thread? That's the only reference to her, all the other posts haven't talked about that particular point.

Um... where's the Emma-bashing this thread is about Mark lol.

Anyway I bet it's just a storm in a teacup: Most probably the bloke who designed it is jelous of Mark's good looks or something...

But that is clearly having a bash at the Beeb and not Emma!

The webdesigner was probably a little dozy that day....

dozy but not dippydozy!

Its that time of week again! My main concern tonight - I don't have a favourite, is Mark. Watching him on ITT last night, I think ne looks SO tired and I'm worried that he has peaked too early and is buring himself out.
Anyone else noticed anything?

Come on folks .... they don't like to big-up the winner before to final show.

excuse me but where was Mark's support? Matt had members of the public, Emma had Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, Louisa had her family. Am I right in saying Mark had none?

None again
