So is Strictly fixed?

Lots of rumours and stories have appeared in the papers over the past few days to suggest that votes were manipulated to give the result the BBC wanted.

Re: So is Strictly fixed?

I read that it's that rather unpleasant James wots-his-name - the ex pro that got the sack - that started all this Longdogs.
Some are saying it is all just sour grapes and he is trying to make trouble.

I must say I never cared for the bloke when he used to be dancing, he always seemed quite an arrogant know-all to me, and I reckon he's got an axe to grind for some reason.

I may be very wrong, but I don't like to think of it being rigged because I do enjoy it, and it would never feel the same again if the rumours were proved to be true.

Not just James whats-his-name with the terminator hair cut but several 'celebs' say they tried voting for Danny but there was a technical problem. That might be true but surely they should close all options if that were the case. Also people saying they voted for Danny and were then thanked for their vote - for Ore.

Ooer, well that does seem strange I agree, dongle.
I do hope it is unproved though. It would be a great shame otherwise.

Re: So is Strictly fixed?

I don't think anyone could prove it because the BBC always refuse to publish the full results/ votes. I do know that the programme has always been pushing the Clifton siblings for a result.

Re: So is Strictly fixed?

It doesn't bother me if it's fixed. I suspect many reality shows are pre-determined. I just enjoy the dancing, and not really interested in who wins.

Hi

I never watch any of them, Strictly , Bake Off, I'm a Celebrity, Corrie, Eastenders or Emmerdale.

When I was married, to me they were an oasis of calm, time to get my fishing tackle ready without any interruptions.

Re: So is Strictly fixed?

It doesn't hatter to me if the results of the likes of X Factor, or Strictly are fixed, I would not pay to vote, hence, I would not make a "Song and Dance" about it.

Re: So is Strictly fixed?

I think Danny Mac thought he would win and I am sure he has lots of friends in the entertainment world who thought that too, so maybe it is just sour grapes from them?
