The results show used to have two sometimes three dances. We had four tonight. Six if you count the dance off.

I totally agree. If Tess wasn't so bad, Bruce wouldn't be as noticeable, but she does nothing to help him or deflect his mistakes, she just adds to them.

Exactly how to describe it.

I was quite appalled at the way she spoke to Mark, tonight and throughout the series. With his wife and young children in the audience, completely inappropriate.

Yes, we had group dances with all the contestants, but of the pro dances, we still only had 2, one big number and one to accompany the singer.

I'm pretty gobsmacked that the beeb keep allowing Bruce's lewd comments to go unchecked on a family show. The comment fom the documentary 'I've got the best job cos I can look up all the girls skirts'
Unacceptable in my view.

I'm with you I don't mind the 2 day thing, (and is actually better if you want to go out on a saturday). As long as i don't know the result before they reveal it which shouldn't be hard to acheive I'm ok with it. Actually if I find out accidently it won't be the end of the world either lol but I'd rather not know.

Gutted Karens out she's the best pro there its!

I think it was porbably a fix tho-Brian imroved laods since last night they usually say something like as a reason to save them.

Kenny was't that good but they probably want to save him and Gabby till there up agianst each other.

Is it me or do you tihnk Penny will probably win becasue she's got the biggest "celebrity staus" it isn't fair really.

who?

what did she say again?

I noticed a few mistakes - Claudia saying monday instead of tomorrow, Bruce saying tonight once instead of last night when talking about how the contestants felt after their dance.. little things that give away the fact it's pre recorded. Or maybe it was just me listening out for things like that as I still think the idea sucks.

LOL you will have to be careful, I called her a barrel on another thread and got told off (ssh thought she looked like a barrel in both her dresses!)

Who?

I think they feel they can get away with it as they and all the other channels do it all the time (xmas shows especially - Who wants to be a millionaire and xmas SCD in particular annoy me, like anyone really believes the celebs and presenters will be in a studio recording on christmas day)

Not Heather Penny sorry

Oh!

Thought that was appalling. I thought he'd be better it being pre-recorded but clearly only one take was allowed.

..... and the Beeb wonders WHY we don't trust the judges

What a load of rubbish! Stop the pretence now! Do they think we are idiots?
Please if you are going to carry on with this format, at least have the decency to treat us as adults and say it was recorded last night.

The reasons they gave for keeping Ola and Kenny in don't hold water, they are trying to keep the mega-cheese situation going with the two married couples, and also trying to keep Ola in after what happened with Spoony last year. Judges, at least keep your dignity and vote according to your judgments, not who the ratings tell you to! Bryan and Karen did not deserve to go out.

Live shows always work best for tension and excitement - I must admit though that I thought it was going to be live until I came on here and found out! I think it is a shame - they should do it all on the one night and have the result then - but the BBC always know best!

Take it you're a Karen fan ...... Brian made an a**e of his routine - them's the breaks !

I was fairly open minded about the whole split over 2 nights results show - thought i'd see how it turned out. I didn't catch any of the spoilers - to be honest although thinking it was a bit odd that why would the celebrities in the audience be there two nights in a row, the dancers having to get all dressed up 2 nights running (me naiive!!), thought it must be going to be live as that's the whole point.

Within 2 mins of the thing starting, despite all the references to sunday, last night etc etc, the whole thing was a sham and it was recorded - why were the bbc so intent on misleading the audience?! thats what annoys me. with all these problems with rigging phone ins, this is up there IMO.

plus it just ruins it - there's no suspense - found myself sat there thinking whats the point - decisions already made.

and don't get me on the judges picking between the two bottom ones! one of the good things about strictly is the surprise results - (although 'tonights' one wasn't really - not much to pick betweent eh two) - not going to have that anymore.

beginning of the end for strictly.

Well, my family didn't know the result and it was fairly tense in our house!

The only part of the new format that I don't particularly like is the dance off, otherwise I don't mind about moving the results and pretending it's a different day!

I didn't know the result either - but if it is done the day before you could accidently find out which would ruin it!
I will stick with it though - love the dancing and the costumes

why does it always hve to be a fix? and judges only voting to keep the married couple thing going? As a neutral the worst dancer on the dance off went - simple as
