or has the appeal of Strictly Come Dancing been murdered by the BBC not handling the “power of the people” vote in the correct manner?
Either it is a Light Entertainment Program, where you ask for the public to vote, and regardless of the result, you accept that is the public vote, or it is a dance contest and the judges only make the decision on the quality of those performing each week? Is it that difficult to grasp?
No, what was unacceptable was that the resentment of both the judges and the fellow contestants of John and Kristina were rude from about week 3 and it built up to the appalling comments by the judges in week 8, for which the public voted in greater numbers to show that “bullying” of this kind is not acceptable. Week 9, suprise suprise, the judges went all coy and tried a charm offensive to try and not “stir” the public support for John. Sorry, but we are not that dim!
If the BBC has any balls, which I strongly believe they do not, and if they want to save the program from becoming extinct at its height of popularity, then they need to signal now that changes for next season will occur, one of which should be a new line up of judges. ALL 4 should go, no excuse, they are getting too big for their own boots and think the show is about them, sorry it is not!
Once upon a time, this show was about raising money for Children in need, or so I believed, what happens to the money from the calls now, there is no obvious informaiton on the web site to tell you?

or has RB and JS been made scapegoats for poor BBC management and practice?
While I did not hear the broadcast, well I wouldn’t seen as I don’t rate Brand, having read the transcript I have to say that the pair were well out of order. That said, as it was a pre-recorded program WHO having listened to what is nothing else but lewd offensive tripe, sanctioned it to be broadcast?
Lets face it, JR we know can sometimes slighlty over-step the line of decency, but having been led by the cretin known as RB, they jumped well over and missed the target of “humour” by some distance.
Back to the BBC, if this is the best that they can come up with as a program, then lets stop the future employment of Brand and put on repeats of previously funny and interesting broadcasts from bygone years.
If heads do role, and while I would make Brand number 1 on the list, i believe controllers or managers at the BBC should be ahead of Ross on the potential list of casualties.
