You're free to argue why they should have saved Austin on dancing ability, but popularity should have nothing to do with their decision.”

What Austin's dances may have lacked in perfect dance technique in the judges opinion was made up with pure entertainment. It was unfortunate he had two dances that the judges didn't wow over, so his fate was sealed even beore the dance-off. The judges did make the correct decision in the circumstances, it's whether they should have had that decision, with only four couples left, is perhaps more the debating point.

That wasn't my point.

They want the viewers to 'save' a celeb ..... but in the end we have no say in who is eliminated.

The BBC don't make money then, ...... but there must be some company that does. A portion to CIN always sounded better.

I vote once usually for one person and sometimes for two - I don't think you can complain if it doesn't go your way as other people vote too but I'm a bit miffed that the system as it was meant my vote meant nothing because the system was set up to make near impossible to save the person I wanted to. The dance-off in the two dance stage needs modification it should either be scrapped at that stage or it should be on the weakest rather than the strongest dance.”

Perhaps in the latter stages they could perform a dance they had done in previous weeks .... Austin could have resurrected his jive or paso.
