Strictly Come Dancing

[grumpy01]

After last night's results programme can there be anyone out there who believes the vote isn't being manipulated.I have no axe to grind over anyone who has been eliminated in the dance off but are we expected to believe that people are voting to keep Ed Balls in the show.I believe this is a ploy by the BBC to keep people watching and thus voting thus keeping revenue up by the number of telephone calls made.

Tess Daly may look good but she has no personality - my son says she looks dead behind the eyes. I really like Claudia's wacky sense of humour.

Margo Tester - //Tess Daly may look good but she has no personality - my son says she looks dead behind the eyes.//

Since I observe Ms. Daly purely when she is in front of me on the television, I have never formed an opinion about her personality.

I would argue that your son's view is not accurate - but he is being entertained as well, so it doesn't matter at all.

Phone call revenue goes to Children in Need, web voting is free

I like Newzoids' take on Tess, with her fixed grin and robotic "Keep dancing! Keep dancing!"

A-h - unusual for you not to have an opinion. As for my son, he is entitled to his opinion as you are.

Margo Tester - //A-h - unusual for you not to have an opinion. //

To be more accureate, I do of course have an opinion, but it's not based on any tangible evidence, since anyone reading an autocue is not revealing anything of their personality.

// As for my son, he is entitled to his opinion as you are. //

Absolutely - I said I didn't agree with it, that is not to say that I think he is not entitled to it, of course he is.

I'm surprised the conspiracy theorists, and the press, haven't made more of naga munchetty's dismissal - 3 black performers in as many weeks..... :-0

[mushroom25]

you can imagine the comments:-

"you only voted her off coz she iz black."

no, she wuz voted off coz she iz rubbish dancer.

[MargoTester]

Actually the public can't vote somebody off, they can only vote for the people they wish to stay in.

It's an entertainment show, it entertains people. You don't have to vote..I never have and never will although I love the show.
I don't believe there are any conspiracy theories, it's just the way it goes.
I don't like Ed Balls but he is very entertaining and that's the whole point.

[Mamyalynne]

I always vote fairly, never tactically - simply the ones I think did best and I want to stay.
