Strictly come dancing

[yolande]

I have heard rumours that the BBC told Emma that she would win to help sort out her comeback career. It does seem very suspicious the way that the news about Mark R's affair came out this weekend. Are we being taken for a ride by the BBC? What do you think?

Did Mark have an affiar? who did he have an affair with, i didn't know, was it with his dancing partner?

basically,no matter how people vote,the decision is hidden until they read it out so can tell you whatever they want.
i seem to recall that a black girl was odds on to get the last place in girls aloud but didnt.

I think most of the voting on the show (and others like it) is rigged. Interesting how that Holby actress went out the other week after some of the tabloids had reported her snogging her dance partner - 'oh dear, that doesn't look very good, better get shot of that one, eh?'

Mark owned up to his wife that he'd been having an affair with a younger woman who he'd met when he was in Cardiff turquiose. It's over now and his wife's forgiven him. I just read that on SCD site.

As I understand from inside the industry, the winner in all these competitions is decided by the producers right at the beginning to produce the biggest viewer reaction.
So last year a confirmed bachelor with a posh accent and no intention of taking up the prize won Masterchef, even though he cocked up every stage of the contest.
This year on Strictly, the apparently useful entrants such as Spoony were kicked out early - was this so that viewers could be accused of racism?
Louisa was out on Saturday so that she could have a good cry on screen and make everyone feel awful for not voting for her .. and make sure you vote early and often next time to make more money for the Beeb and Children in Need (and don't forget that most of your millions goes in red tape).
So that's the BBC - Big Brother Corporation ..
As for revealing Mark's dalliance just before the final - what a coincidence.

thanks Daisy for letting me know :)

you should read ben elton's new book "chart throb". it's a satire on reality tv shows, mainly the X-factor, and how they are fixed, not through vote rigging, but through manipulation of contestants and their stories.
