  • wasn't that result made obvious when tess said that all votes cast would roll over to the final though????? i'm surprised no one realised that tbh xx <3

  • cant believe Tom won. Put me off the show wen he won

  • I hate how Tom was so happy when in that week he deserved to go out

  • @peprilen but he was a perfect example of what strictly is all about! Someone who improves and his show dance was the best strictly has ever seen!

  • I wish they hadn't done this, Lisa and Rachel would have been in the final then, the 2 best dancers, Tom was just average and didn't deserve to win!

  • rachel and vincent are so cute when he picks her up! and then everyone else copies! brendan is a smug bastard -- look at his face when her learns everyone is through! and tom is so cute when he goes storming over to tess and bruce!

  • I'm so glad Tom won!! I kinda voted for him 26 times too :)

    Lisa was good but I wasn't really to keen on Rachel though.

    It makes me laugh how Rachel and Vincent are nodding like nodding dogs at 0:26-0:30 :D

  • I hope they don't anything like that this year!

  • I think they should make a new rule to stop this happening again. That is that there should be no ties allowed on the judges leaderboard. If there is a tie, then take into account who got the most 10s, 9s, 8s etc and if there is still a tie, the Len as head judge should get the casting vote. Come the time where they have to do 2 dances each, take the highest scoring dance into account first before the 10s, 9s etc. What does everyone think?

  • Tom makes me cringe when he cries like that.

  • urghh look at the way tom cries lololol!

  • lol calm down!

  • Whatever about the phoneline stuff,I think its because John Sergent backed out,they where down an elemination week,they had to have 3 people in the final and they couldent just cancel out a week,because of T.V scheduals and stuff,so they had no choice but to let everyone through.Has nobody else considered this???

  • But they've had a two person final the last two series due to Jimmy Tarbuck and Kelly Brook dropping out. why would it be different this way.

    If you work out the actual maths of this you will see it was impossible to vote to keep Tom in, and therefore it was misleading of them to say that you could.

    xxx

  • dude who was the guy in the man u shirt

    and the name of the spanish song they were dancing to

  • Not happy with the result. Tom shouldnt have even been in the final. Lisa should have won.

  • i agree. she definitely made the most progress and was obviously outstanding on the final night. her 2 perfect scores should've seen her through.

  • Yes but did you see their showdance?? It was ****!! She could dance well, but Tom was better...in my opinon anyway :) Lisa was good but should of been out either in Samba week or the quater finals!

    xx

  • Tom and Camilla win!

  • the final is great lisa to win

  • i dont usually watch this but it was all over the papers. i am outraged. rachel and lisa got the same scores cos they are the better dancers. they felt sorry for tom cos he was behind by 11 points so they put him though

  • yes but he was bloody fantastic in the final

  • Tom to win

  • tom starts crying bless him

  • People who complained about this need to just get over it. It's just a TV Show!!!

  • Easy to say and I agree totally with you...but a lot of people get emotionally involved with this as they do with X Factor, Big Brother etc. and if they do get upset about something, they complain...

  • yeah these people probably need to get a life and, stop being a commercial guine pig to the bbc

  • lol Brendan didn't look too happy when the announcement was first made.

  • Rumour has it that Tom has been getting the most vots in the last 3 weeks, thats why they did this, because the public were voting for Tom to stay but if they went ahead without doing anything, even though he had the most public votes, it would of meant he was in the bottom 2. The public has been voting for Tom, so he deserves to be there.

  • This result was made because many people complained about their voets to Tom not being able to be worth anything. And then after the decision only 200 complaints were made, tahts not even 1% of the people watching, in BB you would get 200 complaints for someone looking at someone badly... 200 complaints is nothing, the amount of complaints before the decison was made was more and that was to complain that itw asnt fair for Tom.

    Tom to win!! However, i do feel that we should have a new vote :(

  • Boo flaming hoo. If you care about this, there's something wrong with you.

  • All three deserving finalists. Looking forward to next. Tom and Camilla FTW! =D

  • Is this not a case where a more simple voting system could have been applied? Say ALL 3 couples got max 80 points, then the public vote, couple A get 3 million votes, couple B get 1.5 million votes, couple C get 1 million, B+C have to have a dance off- it would mean the public in this case only, decide, but why else do they ring in?

    IT'S Fuckin BOLLOCKS!!! Tom doesn't deserve to be in, he got shit points cos he didn't dance well enough. Not happy at all. Rachel or Lisa could win it for me.

  • have you people never heard of a reality tv show twist? they do this kinda stuff to keep up the ratings, and keep people talking about the show. it is NOT anything new.

    votes all count, it was done to keep things fair anyway, so just shut up and quit complaining.

  • Great news, in the 2009 FA cup all four semi finalists will play in the final! I don't pay much attention to this crappy programme, so can someone explain what happens if the couple who should have been knocked out in the semi-final win the final, and what's the point of a semi if no one goes out? The whole saga is much more interesting than the show. BRING BACK THE SARGE!!

  • i think they made a good desicion cos all 3 of these couples deserve 2 be in the final!

    even tho i luv tom 2 bits i reli want lisa 2 win!

  • It is really unfair, Tom should have been out. Poor Austin inspite of being the best of the 4, went out when he did not deliver so the same should have been the case with Tom. Why is BBC playing favourites? It should hv been Austin more than Tom in the finals.

  • WHY ON EARTH ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING?

    if you listened to the reason why this happened then you'd understand.

    everyone should have an equal chance in a show like this.

    ALSO, i bet most of those who are moaning about it are lisa & rachel fans and are annoyed that tom is still left in the competition.

    well, if john hadn't of left then it would've been like this anyway.

    also, your votes still count & the people you voted for are still in.

    so get over it (Y)

  • I agree

  • Dodgy

    it is not hard to use a phone

    fix it strictly

  • man tess daily is so annoying shes so stuck i hope she's sacked

  • 200 complaints in 5 minutes. Haven't the BBC learned a thing from Ofcom or w/e.

  • one word...RIPOFF!

  • people who have complained about spending money on voting and it going to waste are just being stingy about money and people are just wanting something to complain about. I voted for tom three times and u dont see me moaning!

  • Such a stitch up. Notice how quickly Brucie says YES after the "suprise" result was announced ! People who voted are within their rights to demand a refund - it doesnt matter if the votes are carried over to next week - people were voting to save someone from the dance off - as this was cancelled - then all votes should be too - and ALL money refunded.

  • Fix, Rediculious, Id rather ITV steal my money.

  • TOM TO WIN

  • I don't know what everyone is getting so het up about. So the votes will be carried over big deal. I think it was the right thing to do because the three of them would have been in the final if John hadn't walked so it's only fair. I think they were all fab but as must as I love Tom I think it's between the two girls.

  • great decision!!! brendan do not deserve to be on the final.... Tom to win!!!

  • FUCKING OUTRAGOUS! STFU BBC! :@

  • EFFIN RIDICULOUS

  • Rachel has the most fabulous arse - you would have to go there !!! Beautiful X

  • I really don't know what people are moaning about the final is meant to have three couples in. I do think they could have done this sooner though.

    As for Brendan, I think he realises that in the final it's not just the dancing, it's popularity too something he hasn't helped, with his childish storm off the other week.

    As for the voting nobody is ripped off the votes carry through & as for the judges bullying John ...oh please he is a political reporter he's dealt with worse comments.

  • Yes it was however, when John left the BBC & the show announced the final would have two couples. That was said on numerous occasions shortly after his departure. And look, what do we get? Three in the final. And another con from a channel who refuses to have it any other way, except their own.

  • what a fix

  • sad!

  • right decision, i'd rather watch a final with 3 couples involved than one with just 2.

  • made up for Tom

  • The show is a fuckin joke. They had to fix it this week, after the bullying judges messed up the format by forcing Sergent to quit. You bunch of losers sit in every saturday night texting away. With every text and phone call getting ripped off a little more each time.

  • i woz so shocked i wasnt expectin that!!!!

  • Will everyone stop complaining. Could you think of a better alternetive? All the votes will carry over to next week so it is not a waste of money. I think it was the right decision. As I say Could you think of a better alternetive?

  • THANK U! I think it wuz the right decision

  • It most certenately was.

  • (alternative)

    Thank you.

  • i seriously dont get why people are complaining, for god sake.

    its a television show, and theres usually three in the final anyway, if john had not of left.

    & those of you who are saying you're not going to watch it again, obviously you don't enjoy watching it.

    anyway...

    TOM CHAMBERS TO WIN :)

  • Yay they all got thru! But there is a thing between Lisa and Brendon!

  • What do you mean?

  • They all got thru 2 next week! COME ON TOM!

  • What i actually dont understand is how rachels boyfreind can sit and look at his girlfriend being touched and caressed basically being mauled by a hungry dog vincent and keeps on smiling silly wanker!!

  • Because Rachel and her fiance have been going out since they were 12- so they would be v secure in their relationship wouldnt they

  • That's one way of keeping Lisa in the game!

  • she would have stayed anyone, she had a perfect score dance .. i was tom that was near enough guarenteed to go ... so in reality it kept him in

  • Ok I get it now - your ex dumped you for a cardboard cut out of Lisa and you're bitter about it. Jeez I would be! LOL

  • LOL as if I would date a guy with such bad taste or even give them the time of day.

  • agreed!!!

    rachel for winning!!

  • Crap!

  • no 1 should vote next week

  • The BBC being stupid again.

  • What an anti-climax..

  • it happened cos the voting system messed up and only a few votes went through:)

  • sorry-what was all that about- i missed it...

  • Again the BBC takes peoples money any runs how poor is that!

    With all the trouble we've had with all the voting television shows in England and the BBC has learnt nothing!

  • I think it's because it would have been unfair on Tom as no matter how many votes he got, he would have been guaranteed a place in the dance-off

  • If it means anything, a three-way tie happened in the American finale too.

  • The BBC said it's not refunding any money, imo they should. The show did mislead every viewer watching the show. In this case, the judges points should not have counted towards the overall score. There's millions who do not understand how the points & viewers votes work. When they realised this, the judges points should have been sacraficed in order for the PUBLIC WHO PAY FOR THE LICENSE FEE to have the vote.

  • all money is going to a good cause-a ££££ party for bbc bosses

  • lol

  • True.

    & if anyone believes it's going to CiN, then you need your head testing. The Beeb were already exposed for keeping a massive sum of money - what's to stop them doing it again. They already said there'd be no more scandals & here were are: slap bang in the middle of another.

  • why did they do this?

  • do yo actually have a life or do you look at every lisa video and slag her off. Wanker.

  • I am really very pleased that Tom and Camilla have made it through to the Grand Final.

  • The BBC should refund the voters money.

    Although I think it will be a good final with 3 couples.

    Many people vote for a different couple each week depending on who danced the best, carrying votes over may mean they won't vote for their favourite.

    It's no surprise, it's simple maths, it happened in the Aus version of SCD.

    I know this is not the most important news in the UK, but The BBC is funded by the public and for the BBC to rip them off again via dodgy phone-in is outrageous.

  • or refuse to pay 90 pence of tv license.its legal

  • When Tess mentioned everyone's names I had a feeling she was going to say they were all through.

    I think the BBC made the right decision last night, but I do agree with ThatIzzyGirl!

  • lol look at Brenden. He hardly looks pleased. In any case, this is ridiculous. The BBC have ripped off everyone who voted and spent their money. Rolling over to next week when they have yet to dance those final dances is wrong and the whole thing is ridiculous.

  • That Face !lol....Brendan knew that Tom would have gone with his mistake of doing two dances that were not his best !So.....Brendan has to depend purely on a public vote in the final.

  • I was so surpised! it was really good when they found out tho

  • seriously,why can't people be happy that everyone is through&now we can decide for ourselves who lifts the glitterball!people spend half their time complaining about the judges scores anyway so now their opinion is irrelevant as to who wins the show!

    it put a huge smile on my face to see everyone so happy when they announced noone would be going!! i think it's pretty pathetic that people are complaining that a couple weren't devastated last night, regardless of who you support in the show!!

  • I feel cheated by the BBC to be honest as an Austin and Erin fan. The production team have a lot to answer over.

    "Free pass weekend" should have been the weekend after JS left. Not now.

  • It is called Right Here Waiting by Richard Marks - think that is right.

  • you no they all dance together at the end what song is it and who sings it, it is really bugging me cause i love it and cant remeber it

  • tasslemassey, i also voted for him 8 times last night, but realized today he still would have been in the dance off no matter what.....

  • People saying this was unfair on the girls are wrong. I'm sorry but just like last week, the judges OVER marked the girls and undermarked the boys. I agree Tom was a bit off tonight espesh in the Jive but i didnt think rachel and vincent were that good either. Just my opinion but personally I'm glad there are 3 in the final. But blatent fix for the girls to be joint 1st. If Tom had gone out last night I certainly wouldn't have watched the final..

    GO TOM !!!

  • i think tom should win

  • here here so happy he is through I voted 8 times for him last night before I realised he would still be in dance off. I so hope he wins

  • glad for tom and camilla.the voting would have made immpossible to do anything else.i don't think brendon was that happy.

  • So happy for Camilla and Tom... so cute, and I love the song at the end too!

  • rachel to win

  • Ha ha! Tom knew he was going and that's why he was the happiest of the lot. I didn't vote last night and I'm glad I didn't. I can vote twice or three times next week. It was something to do with the votes wouldn't affect the scores and one couple was always going to be in the dance off. Strictly always has three in the final.

  • It's revealed today. The voting system is flawed. Everyone would have wasted their money because their votes couldn't affect the result. This and the John Sargeant fiasco put's egg on the face of the BBC. Let's have a "They shoot horses don't they", style danceathon, last one standing wins, then scrap this gutter television.

  • There must have been somthing wrong with the voting system because that ending was deffinatly unplanned. They spent ages filming the end dance and than (I counted) there was 14 advert inbetween that and the next program (hich also started early). Definatly something dodgey went on.

  • What adverts? BBC...

  • Not adverts but you know promos, advertising BBC programs...

  • bit dodgy though all of them through

  • Im really pleased about this i really like otm and i wanted to see him in the final alhough it makes i tinto a bit of a mockery that he basically got a free pass through,

    It annoyed me how len said there was faults in some of the dances but still gave them tens? and i think craig should be a bit more generous with his scoring and give out some tens more often! anyways its going to be an awesome final!

  • I dont care what you all think I am so Happy for all of the Couples left in the show and I am so Happy that Camila is actually going in to the final when she has not been in it before.

  • It's simple.

    With the leaderboard as it stood, Rachel/Lisa on 3 points and Tom on 1, everyone in Britain could have voted for Tom but he'd still have a total of 4. One of the girls would also get 4 points (bottom of the vote) and the other 5. So it was impossible for Tom to avoid the dance-off.

    They misled viewers by saying that you could vote to save your fave from the dance-off. With Tom, you couldn't.

    Rachel was undermarked and Lisa overmarked by the judges to ensure they tied on marks.

  • I agree, i don't think rachel was undermarked though. but that's just my opinion

  • I thought it be weird to have just 2 people in the final, they always have 3 before dropping 1 out on the night, then deciding the winner. I'm glad they did this, as I think Tom deserves to win but wouldn't have last night basically haha.

  • At least learn to spell before making such stupid comments

  • Personally, I think a 3 couple final will be much more exciting. That's how it was supposed to be, before John dropped out.

    Brendan looked pissed.

    Rachel and Vincent are incredibly adorable.

  • wow, all through

  • Dont think it was right. Brendan wasnt happy

  • He was at "disadvantage" because he danced really bad. It was his own fault. I will never watch this show again. This is a J-O-K-E!!! Rachel and Lisa were ROBBED.

  • Oh shut up don't talk rubbish

    COME ON TOM

  • I absolutely agree with S2london! You're not being objective, dear BigGunsEre08.

  • The reason why they put everyone through to the final, had nothing to do with the X Factor final, being a fix by the BBC, and all to do with both Lisa and Rachel being given identical scores and so was deemed unfair on Tom. Even if he polled 3 times as many viewers votes, he would still be in the dance off, so was deemed to be at a disadvantage. In order for it to seem fairer, they carried over the viewers votes and have a 3 way final as it should be. And only viewers votes count.

    COME ON TOM!!

  • this is ridiculous! and very disrespectful to those who worked hard and didn't crumbled.

    personally, bbc lost its credibility.

  • BBC GREAT JOB...go on for the final !

  • Rach to win!

  • Tess said they HAD to close the phone lines, so i'm guessing maybe because of the x factor final as well, the phone lines got jammed or something, and it's not really fair to vote somebody off, imagine how many complaints they would have got.

    I don't think it was a fix at all, they had to close the phone lines during the show, so it's the best thing for all the contestants.

  • Why are the three of them through?????????Why was nobody sent home

  • cause you need 3 in the final and cause john left there would have only been two.

  • WTF! then this episode was pointless D:<

  • YE Drag it on abit so that the BBC can make some more money.

  • what a fookin waste of time!

  • This absolutely stinks. Whats the point in having Tom in the final now, people have already voted for Rachel and Lisa and their votes have been put through to the final. So that means Tom is already on the loss going into the final. They should really scrap the dance-offs and just go straight through to public vote.

    The judges have really shown messed up this time.

  • Gosh, Rachel looks sexy in her LBD! I want her dress! She and Vincent are a perfect couple.

    Truth should be told, Camilla has never looked better than in these past two weeks. Finally people in the hair and dress departments started doing their job.

  • Very peculiar indeed.

  • Was it me or did Breandan look slighty pissed!!!

  • he did. what a wanker.

  • What i wouldnt give to know where he was, cos i bet you he would have been in the dance-off but you never know!!P.S: He is an absolute tosser!!

  • he did look a bit bummed at first but then he started smiling and clapping

  • There's been lots of ties before, were they all fixed too?

  • Not at all! But this one stinks of fixation! (Is there such a word?!) Anyway, it's obvious is it not? I'd like to hear a pro opinion other than the judges but it's my artistic understanding that Racheal was MILES better than Lisa tonight! The whole thing just doesn't sit right with me at all.

  • Im just so happy Tom isnt out cos i so dont think he deserved to go yet.I feel like he sholud be in the final so for me, all is well!!! Yay Tom!!!

  • Austin and Erin could have still gone through if they got enough public votes, but they didn't. And god forbid, Len gave them an 8 because he thought it was an appropriate score? :o

  • You really think that after that fiasco the BBC would dare to go and fix the result and get themselves in a mess again?

  • By the by I'm afraid! It just scuppers my confidence in the BBC when they go and do something like this. It's just WAY too 'convenient' how both Lisa and Racheal got the same total. Racheal was underscored for her second dance, 'conveniently' leaving her with the same total as Lisa. Thus rendering all public say so in the matter void. Quite 'convenient' wouldn't you say? They've now caught up with the week that John Sergeant missed leaving the show and they have their three finalists as planned.

  • Rachel was miles better than lisa. Such a fix.

  • Agreed!!! Glad I'm not the only one fuming! :)

  • I thought Rachel's AS deserved an 8 though or a 9 at most I didn't think it deserved the 10 bruno gave it. Although I agree it was bad what happened tonight! But I'm glad that they have all gone through cause even though Tom wasn't as good as he usually is tonight, I still think he was slightly undermarked, & it was unfair that his fans had no chance at all of saving him, and were wasting their money.

  • Austin and Erin have been short changed!

  • So cute the way everyone got lifted up at the end. The final should be really great this year.

  • I really don't get this, what happened? Why didn't the votes used this week decide who got voted out?

  • The judges scores were 3, 3, 1, so even if Tom got the most public votes, the score would be 5, 4, 4. There was no way for Tom to avoid the dance-off, therefore making the public's 50% of the vote void. The BBC didn't realise this straight away (neither did I), so they opened the phonelines, and then had to close them again and roll the votes over to avoid a telling off from OFCOM.

  • I couldn't have explained it better myself. Well done ;)

  • I think it would help if I knew how the scoring worked...so, am I right in thinking that the person with the most public votes gets 3 points, then whoever gets the nest highest gets 2 points, then finally the last person gets one point?

  • yeah thats right.... :)

  • At the beginning, they said 'the votes will be carried over till next week', but still nobody realised what was going on.

  • I realised as soon as they said that.

  • I saw it coming.

  • tbh this was a joke lol
