The judges are going on about how the public were saving John every week when they put him at the bottom of the leaderboard and saying there was nothing they could do about it.



Well thats where they are wrong as the judges ahve the power to guarantee at least 1 postion at the bottom of the leaderboard everyweek.



How you may ask? Well I will tell you.Its quite simple



For week only they could have given all the other contestants the same score and John slightly less meaning that the socres would have been say for this week



=1.Rachel 7pts

=1.Lisa 7pts

=1.Tom 7pts

=1.Austin 7pts

=1.Jodie 7pts

=1.Christine 7pts

9.John 1pts



and say for example John came first as he always did and the order was for example with the public



1.John 7pts

2.Tom 6pts

3.Austin 5pts

4.Rachel 4pts

5.Christine 3pts

6.Lisa 2pts

7.Jodie 1pts



Then added together the scores would have been



1.Tom 13pts

2.Austin 12pts

3.Rachel 11pts

4.Christine 10pts

5.Lisa 9pts

6.Jodie 8pts

=6 John 8pts



Therefore the judges get there wish and John is in the bottom 2 and can be voted off



Simple.



So for next serous when they get another John,Fiona or Kate its the simple way to get rid of people they dont like

This system was discussed a few weeks ago. The big flaw is that it means the voting gets manipulated, which according to the conspiracy theorists, is happening anyway

They could never mark everybody else's dances the same, there would be uproar.

yes but if they explain why they are doing it and technically its not breaking any rules they could therefore infulence the the bottom 2

John couldnt have complained as he was always going about how he only played by the rules also

I don't think you can seriously say that giving all of the couples bar one the same score to put someone you don't like in the dance-off is in keeping with the spirit of the contest. No matter how bad anyone thinks the last couple of weeks have been for the show's reputation, your idea would definitely be worse.

Judges over/under marking in order to manipulate who lands in the bottom two?

Surely it could never happen.

They could never mark them identically.

I also had this idea that they could do this to make sure he was in the bottom 2 but it would never work as there would be uproar about the manipulation
