I've seen a post on another forum, which indicates Len instructed the other Judges to give Matt Top Marks.

I didn't notice anything at the time and didn't keep the recording, does anyone still have a copy who can confirm or deny this?

Does Len really have to power to do that? I doubt it but I'll look back. Though someone else will probably be able to report back sooner than I can!

I very much doubt he has that sort of power!

Also didn't he say he thought Alesha's VW should get 40? Because Craig and Arlene still decided to give that nine instead of ten.

Len the Jedi master waves his hand and says "these are the score paddles you are looking for"

Yes he did - he said 'if you don't get four tens, I'll pickle me walnuts' And they didn't.

...I'm not going to think about that any more.

If that is true it needs to be produced here and the appropriate action taken.

I stress the word IF

oh pleeeeeeeeese

This is all getting too much now.

It's all a load of.... pickled walnuts, that's what it is.

Why's it getting too much? It was a fix and the BBC are cheating punters out of their money. No wonder that socialist bag of doodah (lower grade or something) said it would take a year for the BBC to get honest.

Oh come on Claudia said on ITT that the forum members were up in arms about the result. Fair play to Phillip for voicing his opinion, while Karen toed the party line.
Notice Darren was very quiet on the subject

In what way are they 'cheating' punters' or is it because you favourite got voted out on Saturday?

I will reply to your reply when I get home - just leaving work now.

No Gethin's and Matt's buttocks do nothing for me and like I've said before the former is only an average dancer and the latter didn't deserve to be there. The person who I thought had made the most improvement Letticia was beaten in a dance off by the best dancer. That was down to buttocks before brains.

It's just after he says "Bruce, I'm going to do something I've never done before." Then he stands up a says "If that doesn't get 4 tens, I'm going to go home and pickle my walnuts."

Or maybe its just a load of b***ocks.

You're talking about two different contestants there...

Buttocks?

Gosh, you are funny.

And vulgar.

But funny.

hehehehehehehe - surely this belongs on the conspiracy thread

No, - I was talking a load of b***ocks.

Oh, lol

I don't buy this for the simple reason that you can't tell Craig to do ANYTHING

Why would he have the power to do that? I don't see Craig, or any of them, being told how to vote. I know!! Len's been taking hypnotherapy lessons from Matt's hypnotherapist! I'm sure I heard Len saying 'You are feeling sleepy' ...or maybe it was Bruno threatening the Mafia if they didn't all give tens..or was it Arlene threatening to jump on Matt if they didn't all give tens..or Craig ...whatever , whatever..or,God forbid, it was something simple like it was a fabulous dance!

he didnt deserve 4 10's.
there have been many more dances more deserving of 4 10's such as ALeesha!

Each to their own opinion, of course, but I thought it did. It had that extra something that made it special, apart from just the technical side. I liked their AT too but that didn't have that extra dimension the way the waltz did. Anyway the score happened whatever we say.

And why would Len 'instruct' the judges to dole out 10s that time as opposed to any other. And I can't see the likes of Arlene or Craig taking that lieing down, they are both highly respected in their own field and are never going to come out in a cold sweat just cos Don Len isn't happy with what paddle they held up.

I didn't think it was a 10 at the time and Philip Jackson confirmed that on ITT last night, but if the judges are totally blind or 'caught up' in the emotion, then I suppose that is their problem and just hope they can live with their decision.

Karen said nothing at all on ITT and nor did Darren .They weren't asked .

Philip was asked and replied .

There is far too much stirring going on now .
I like to see fair play even in a light entertainment
programme , but what is done is done.

In the great scheme of things what does it really matter ?

In your world obviously not but I'm sick of people rigging things then trying to pretend they haven't. I know the example set by the government is dreadful so one must expect its mouthpiece(BBC) to act in a similar fashion.
