Well I have it on very good authority that Matt's hypnotherapist had a Welsh accent and wore a Blue Peter badge, plus Gethin was once seen walking past a book on hypnotherapy in Borders - come on people, join the dots, it's all part of the conspiracy

His dry cleaning bill must be awesome...

Na...the elves give him a complementary service!

Lets hear it for the Elves...wherever they be! just as an aside is there any link between chris kringle and Gethin?

I don't think the phone votes are rigged.

I don't think that the judges can influence the public vote that much.

But I do think the BBC themselves on occasions, try influence the perception of viewers.
I firmly believe that the BBC attempted to influence the public vote in favour of Emma Bunton last year right up to CIN night, as they had a vested interest in keeping her in.
She came across as "Saint Emma" and why did they think it necessary to show French and Saunders attending one of her training sessions to praise her for chrissakes?




If you recall a remark made by Penny Lancaster when she stopped Claudia in mid tracks, to say that her own comments about Gabby Logan had been taken out of context as they only showed the one negative remark she made amongst several of praise.

Claudia responded, "Yes I know, but it's what we do."

The producers when they show "pre performance" training clips on Saturday night and those they include on SCDT2, can project any aspect of any dancers ability and attitude they wish.

On another subject, didn't Kenny Logan come across as very personable and "viewer friendly" in his Saturday night "back stage" piece shown on SCDT2?

In contast, his attractive auto-cue reading clothes horse of a wife (The "Spangles" syndrome so admired by the BBC) has no charisma whatsoever.
He'd be a much better "mainstream" presenter than his wife, who the BBC will eventually try to use away from sports programmes given the opportunity, unfortunately for her, the viewers don't like her that much.

Why yes, yes there is, Gethin actually is Santa, which is why the Beeb are fixing it for him to win SCD, to ensure they all get Xmas prezzies this year *nods wisely*

Ah! Its all falling into place now...Gethin was spotted buying a Reindeer poop scoop from Harrods recently...

Are you sure, no I can't...........keep a straigt face. This is hilariously funny. This thread is really good.

I remember a suggestion that Darren had decided that Letitia should have horrible dresses, and then her dresses would improve, giving her a journey.

Shot themselves in the foot with that one because just when they got her dress right her journey was over!

I did read one poster on the BBC Points of View boards who had a conspiracy theory that somehow the viewers had come up with some form of mass tactical voting in their choices.

Be quite extraordinary if it were true.

^^^^^^^
Brilliant username. You should post more often.

Actually, I read something similar. Apparently, if you really want a celebrity to win, you can pick up the phone and vote for them!!! Anyone can do it, as long as they know the right phone number. Of course, with that plan, the BBC have completely opened themselves up to things like tactical voting and voting for the best personality, or the best looking celebrity, NOT THE BEST DANCER. If this really is true, they've made a mockery of it being a dance contest!

OMG!! God, this really is the last straw. Is nothing sacred any more!?

noooooooooooo

well I'll be hornswozzled

I'll get me coat.

I heard that next week Alesha and Gethin are going dressed as swans, to scare Flavia so much she totally mucks up her AT and runs screaming from the dancefloor. Apparently Matts paying them to do it, saying if it worked once......

I know who is behind all this mockery of a voting system.......

The Illuminati.

I like the bit about being groomed for a spin off show - shame it isn't real!

Anyway, what would Lord Reith say?

As well as being a trained hypnotherapist, Santa, my sources have further revealed that Gethin is also Spartacus, Keyser Sose, The Phantom of the Opera, and he has recently been possessed by the ghost of Dame Margot Fonteyn (it happened at a scenance organised by Camilla) which explains his sudden, new found, dance ability.

On Thursdays, rumour has it, he can also be found running a small fish stall outside a pub in North London.

When does the boy ever find any time to train?

He doesn't. He's simply hypnotised us all into thinking he's just performed, and hypnotised the judges into giving comments and scores!

Now, Now - this is all too silly for words!

Which isn't to say that some theories may not have a germ of truth in them....

Did I say at the start of this thread that I didn't believe in any of the conspiracy theories? Oh, what a fool I have been. As you have all pointed out so clearly...the show is nothing but one big conspiracy masquerading as light entertainment!

ahem - i have a confession (which admittedly is slightly off-topic). I genuinely don't believe we landed on the moon. should i leave this thread now?!?
