Do they publish the actual numbers of the public vote? Only I'm a little bit really very cynical and think that perhaps what we actually vote doesn't really matter at all and it's the producers that decide..

They’ve not been published since I started watching about 12 years ago.

Three votes for Pete

Greenfingers37 · 07/12/2024 20:33

Did anyone notice the exchange between Jowita and Neil Jones when her and Pete got to the top of the stairs? It was like he was shoving a microphone in front of him and she abruptly dismissed him! He's such a weirdo!

xsquared · 07/12/2024 20:34

Oh, actually. If Tasha gets 1 for the public vote and Sarah gets 2, then it could well be those two in the dance off. 😕

The man has a face for radio. Sno wonder he gets the worst slebs so he's off the show first.

He's like David Gandy from Wish.

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.
When he critiques Chris, Craig needs to read this and note it, when he goes on about hesitation and forward leaning posture.

Fireworknight · 07/12/2024 20:36

I didn’t feel the dances were particularly good for a semi- final. Maybe because they had to do two. Some of the dances earlier in the series were stronger. If these dances had been performed earlier in the series, I think there were have been more 7s and 8 scores. Felt there was a lot of over marking tonight.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 07/12/2024 20:36

There are people on the thread who stick up for Neil and say that everyone is harsh on him but I'm sick of his gurning at the cameras and relentless attempts to gain notice.

Gave all my votes to Chris.
Not my favourite dances but if he is in the DO he’ll be out as they can’t not overmarked Pete again.
I don’t really care who wins, but I can’t stomach all the bollocks they talk about to Pete. Of course every dance is base around certain steps, otherwise it isn’t that bloody dance.
With that thought process you may as well say a relay race can be run without passing on the baton, that only one of you needs to run.

example?
JB 5 + 3 = 8
Tasha 4 + 1 = 5
Sarah 3 + 2 = 5
Chris 2 + 5 = 7
Pete 1 + 4 = 5

This would mean Tasha vs Sarah
If Sarah's vote beat JB Tasha vs Pete
People are talking about vote being rigged but let's face it, only JB has a chance of beating Tasha.

Yes. The plausible alternative is
JB 5 + 2 = 7
Tasha 4 + 1 = 5
Sarah 3 + 3 = 6
Chris 2 + 5 = 7
Pete 1 + 4 = 5
which is why I voted Sarah.

Of course it's entirely possible that Sarah and/or JB have more votes than Pete anyway.

JB vs Tasha in the DO would be dramatic but is pretty much inconceivable given what we know about the public vote - it would require Tasha getting more votes than JB and Pete getting more votes than Chris.

Mymanyellow · 07/12/2024 20:40

I’ve voted 3 for Sarah so my sister. Not convinced they are safe.

FrothyCothy · 07/12/2024 20:41

2 votes for JB and one for Chris. DD9 gave all her votes to Chris! Happy for either of them to win. I’m “anyone but Pete” at this stage I think.

Piggywaspushed · 07/12/2024 20:41

One for JB, one for Chris, one for Tasha.

Norugratsatall · 07/12/2024 20:43

Gave all my votes to Sarah and Vito as I think they may be in trouble!

TellingBone · 07/12/2024 20:47

Motsi - lost the little credibility she still retained with that 'dancing is not about the steps' comment.
Shirley - plays favourites
Tony Beke - is all about the advancement of Tony Beke
Tess - might as well programme a life sized cardboard cut-out with a random judge quote
The Audience - can someone find a way of muting the whooping?

3 for JB from me

mydogisthebest · 07/12/2024 20:50

All 3 to Sarah and Vito.

I think Motsi's stupid comment is an insult to the others. If dancing is not about the steps then why are they bothering?

If that was the rule every week for every contestant then she would have (a pretty ridiculous) point but you can't pick some people up on tiny details and use that as justification for knocking them down to a 9 when they have put in a very good dance then say technique doesn't matter and use it as an excuse to give a poor performance a 9.

FagsMagsandBags · 07/12/2024 21:13

I got distracted and when I went to vote the vote was closed. I'm such an idiot!

@Crinkle77 is he the Cutting It guy?

Yes that's him!

Pete has to go. I think it will probably be Pete against Sarah and they will save Sarah. I think Chris and JB will be safe so it could be Sarah and Tasha and then Sarah will go - which is so unfair because she is much better dancer than Pete. I have really grown to like Pete but he isn't the best dancer and it is a dance competition all the judges seems to make it very clear that it is more of a "who they like best" rather than "who is the best dancer" - which is why it is becoming more of a farce every year.

She has generally been giving much more useful, constructive feedback this year than in her first couple of series too.

StarDolphins · 07/12/2024 21:28

I want Chris or JB to win. Both humble & lovely. I also want to marry Chris, he’s just so very funny & lovely.

i might cry if Pete ‘for my Nan’ goes through & I have t cried in 4 years.

Exactly. Craig knocks a point off JB last week because his thumb stuck up.

This week Motsi says the steps don't matter when judging Pete.

Matildahoney · 07/12/2024 21:35

JB to win for me.

What Dianne has achieved with Chris is amazing, but he's not the best dancer.

Sarah is great, but not a winner for me.

Tasha has too much of an existing dance background for her to deserve to win.

I love Pete, but he's the worst dancer.
