Yes. If this had been the case last year...Matt Dawson would have been kicked out and overmarked Bunton would have been in the final...at this stage, only the public vote should count, not the dance off.

No need to post this in lots of threads though.

You have a Blue Peter badge.

I'm quite jealous of that.

Are you indirectly hinting your cup size to me?
I know one inch takes 1.5 seconds to burn through,
but C cups 1.6 seconds.

Righto, I shall get a replacement for the burnt article from Agent Provocateur for your christmas stocking.

It was more of a school thing, I didn't organise it myself.
I couldn't stand Blue Peter tbh

That's subjective. I find Gethin's dances average and forgettable. The only ones I can even remember are the waltz and jive, and I remembered his jive for its high energy, yet stiffness and awkwardness.

The 'highly possible' result is only one of three possibilities- and so I think that assumption may be foolish.

I am very sorry for anyone who is this distraught over this- that was meant sincerely and not condescendingly but its hard to tell that because its typed.

I wish I could give you all a hug

No I'm not

I want a refund of half my voting costs (CiN can keep the other half)!!!!

I've just made an 'official complaint' to the BBC...don't see how much good it'll do though.

Why is it impossible for the Gethin fan's to accept that maybe Matt and Alesha did get a higher public vote than Gethin ???

About what? What is there to complain about? The result is never going to please everyone and unless you in full possession of the facts what can you complain about?

It isn't impossible. Not at all.
I'd just like to know for sure.

I dont really think that is the issue. If the judges used their braisn and marked sensibly without the absurd 40/40 Gethin would still be in the show and we would still have a decent final.

Now, I dont think anyone cares. I know I dont.

I agree, Gethin seems like a very nice and decent guy, I can't possibly imagine he would appreciate certain people's behaviour, certainly not on his behalf.

I find this very amusing.

It's not that i don't accept it, i'd just rather have proof. I want to know my fave lost out fair and square

I don't see how anyone can complain about the set up of the show and the judges having final say and whatever else is being moaned about. Everyone knows, if they apply logic, when voting that there is a chance their favourite will go despite having the largest public vote (what's to say Gethin did?)

This is all just sour grapes. Had Matt left tonight I'd have accepted it and congratulated the finalists, despite feeling that one of them would have been less deserving IMO.

Get over it.

If Matt had scored straight 9's for his waltz he would have still been above Gethin on the leaderboard, so Gethin would still be in the dance off and out of the show.

... for spoiling the result for me

We'll see how happy you lot are when Alesha kicks Matt arse in the final.

What about the absurd over marking of some other contestants this series, Gethin being 1 of them? Yet absurd undermarking of other contestants? The judges have clearly had their favourites and over the last two weeks Alesha and Gethin have obviously been those people. The judges have been unfair all series, don't just start moaning about it because Gethin has actually left.

Very happy indeed. She is a very talented dancer, so if she wins, good for her and we will be very gracious. Maybe some of you should take a leaf out of our book.

But after giving Matt 40/40 they then couldnt have voted for him to go. They backed themselves into an impossible situation.

Surely they base their vote on the dance off though. So despite giving a 40 they could always have used the excuse that Gethin performed better in the dance off if they wanted to keep him. No corner backed into.
