Oh dear! It just had to happen, didn't it?

[Islay]

Does seem strange that after beating several other 'dancers' with better scores that she ends up in the dance off and then is booted out.
Racist? Not sure
Fixed? Yup

[albaqwerty]

didn't Ode Oduro (sp) win it one year ?

It's fixed, not racist imo

[Ellipsis]

Ore Oduba won it last year. And yes, he is black. And a black woman is among the favourites to win this year.

> Fixed? Yup

Nope. An audience vote put Chizzy in the bottom two. She was then voted off by the judges, based on the merits of her dance versus Brian's, a decision they can easily defend because he was bad and she was worse.

[mallyh]

they said her dance didn't contain enough foxtrot but she was doing what pacha taught her ,I loved it ,very entertaining x

[Old_Geezer]

Isn't it the public vote that's being criticized ?
Judges vote on the dance-off.
The show would lose a lot without the public vote. No, no-hopers, entertaining until the end either.

[weecalf]

Time to scrap this awful excuse for entertainment .

[-Talbot-]

These muppets who shout racist at the drop of a hat think they are so wonderful, when in fact they are just race baiters who do more harm than good.

[-Talbot-]

weecalf, do what I do and watch tuther side.

[Caribeing]

Just read this what a load of nonsense Chizzy was voted off because she wasn’t very good Ruth Charlotte Brian The Rev Coles weren’t great as well but viewers like Anton so vote for him as well others will be going week to week irrespective of colour it is a dancing competition with eliminations .

[weecalf]

Talbot are you suggesting I should watch xfactor .Only joking nobody would impose that on anyone .

[CrapAtCryptics]

She was probably voted off because she had the daftest name.

[-Talbot-]

Is there any wonder you are crap at cryptics?

[cassa333]

I don't watch strictly so can't comment of who was better or not but this from the article made me laugh.

Viewer have branded the public racist..... er aren't the viewers the public?

So they are name checking themselves then???

[gulliver1]

Noticed a couple of ex mps, Ed balls , Ann Widdecombe etc , have taken part in this Show. Can't wait to see Boris ,
when it's his turn.

[gingejbee]

weecalf....wake up! There are more than two channels now...if you really have to watch television all the time....

A little bird tells me that Corbyn has been selected to appear at the Halloween themed, Strictly Come Dancing.

[Mamyalynne]

Some viewers are calling other viewers racist , she was voted into the dance off and she was the worst in that section.

Not the worst dancer overall.

What a lot of fuss - again, nothing new.

[gulliver1]

Aog, a little bird tells me, that Boris Johnson has been selected to appear in " I am a Conservative , get me out of here."
