With Seann and DJJ gone, I wonder who The Sun will target next? It's as if they're steering the votes
Well that’s ok, it’s when the judges buy in to it that it becomes a problem and it feels like that’s what is happening. Yes Shirley, I do mean you. I don’t normally get too worked up about these things but I’ve always liked Strictly, over other ‘vote’ shows, because it felt like it had integrity. At least it did when Len was on it. I don’t remember them ever making a meal of it, or doing a ‘suspense’ vote, or even getting it badly wrong back then. But since Shirley, and her complete inability to disguise her favouritism or ignore public opinion and just vote on the dancing ability, I’m thinking, tonight, I’m done with this now. Taxi for Shirley (and Tess can hitch a lift too). If the accusations of bullying are true (and I hadn’t even heard/read them til DH told me cos I don’t watch/read trash/tabloid tv/media) then the BBC have a responsibility to not just the professional dancer in question, but also the paying public, to do something about it and make a statement. If it isn’t true then they should make it very clear it’s bull. This manipulation via judges is not on. I do not believe, in the absence of this past weeks media stories, that Danny would have been A. bottom of the public voting and B. voted off by the judges. Might as well get Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh on the judging panel and be done with it.
