The idea of carrying the votes over is wrong IMO. They should just start with no votes this week, if Tom had a load of phone votes that gives him an unfair advantage

AND ME What a shambles.

The B.B.C. have caved in under public pressure, and are having to refund those people who voted in Saturday's fiasco.

I think its not the refund the Beeb will be worried about Rindi, there problem will be if Tom goes on to win it, with the votes being carried over. I think they all have a chance of winning on Saturday, but if Tom does the Beeb will have an Head Ache big time

They should really start with a clean sheet on Saturday.

The votes cast last weekend, were based on the dances performed then.

Rolling those voted over could very well interfere with who wins the final.

Totally agree Rindi, it should be on the nights performance only, mind you the good thing is that the judges don't have a vote this week its just down to the viewers phone in vote alone.

Then that chap will be voted winner - viewers will do that just to send up the BBC (as they did voting for John Sargeant)

Rachael has hurt her back quite badly in training. She is having treatment, hope it doesn't scupper her chances

She'll be there Bernie, she's just playing the sympathy card

I've no doubt she'll be there but surely her dancing will be affected

Watched the BBC 2 show last night and she seemed to be gliding around as normal, but I hope (if she has an injury) that it doesn't affect her performance
