What just happened on Strictly?!

[Pandasarecute]

What went wrong with the announcing of the results?

I think Shirley started with the first place instead of the bottom, then she got the names wrong!

Fuck knows, but Claudia was funny

Their iPads crashed, Shirley panicked and said the wrong result.
I love TV cockups.

I suppose it shows it's live TV!

My cynical head says it was fixed and decided upon beforehand, and then they lost the sheet.

Claudia asked for 7th place and Shirley said who had 7 points (predictably Ashley). The ipads crashed and they couldn't get their shit together. All was read out (which I understood) then for some reason they needed clarification and again they couldn't seem to sort it out.

'Tis what is known in showbiz as a "Well, they cocked that up" moment

You had one job Shirley.

It wouldn't have been such a mess if Len was still head judge. Shirley was very amateur. I think Bruno saved the day.

The Ipad crashed, so they had to use a piece of paper.

She was asked for 7th pace, but she gave 1st place instead, as that was 7 points.

Claudia was funny though.

Ah the terrors of live television

Shirley panic'd and was out of her depth. She resorted to, I'm just reading off the sheet. Er, not entirely, given that you've literally just decided the scores. Craig was pissing himself laughing at the cock up and Claudia ad lib'd it beautifully. Tess was also predictably out of her depth too and just fem-bot'd it.

Results? Isn't that on Sunday? What day is it?

shirley is awful shes got things wrong before and she completely overmarks people she favours

i miss len

Cambalamb this was just the placings/scores for the crappy LindyHop-a-thon. Considering I could have told you exactly where they would place each couple before the crap-a-thon was even danced as it is so bloody obvious who they favour (and I was right) it is pathetic that they made such a pigs ear of reading out results they'd pretty much decided on beforehand.

I loved it.
Complete and utter shambles and people getting REALLY UPSET about things which really don’t matter.

Brilliant

Bloody hilarious! Thank goodness for Claudia who totally saved the whole thing. I like Tess and think she gets a lot of unfair flak but she wouldn't have managed to cope with this one without Claudia. For me it ended up as the best bit of the night!

During the lindyhop every shot of the judges had them looking down rather than the dancers.....

Claudia is frankly the only redeeming feature of Strictly. She's the best.
