I think they are not saying anything so people watch the show to find out what’s occurring.

That’s the thing, because they still had an elimination that week I can’t help but think it’s ties their hands a bit. Whomever went out after Amanda left could easy say another week with a dance that suited them better could have changed the outcome. I can’t remember who it was tbf so that might not be the case but I just think it’ll look bad to change the ‘rules’ at the quarter final stage.
ETA - it was Zara and Graziano so if it hadn’t been that week it would have probably been the next anyway
I think the show was rather glad to shuffle off Jody and Adam before they ended up with another withdrawal.
Jody at the very least could have been given a simpler dance than a Salsa, they have changed dances at last minute in the past.
I think in future they really need to take a really hard look at the physical and mental fitness of the celebs rather than get excited over booking someone. Amanda seemed rather fragile right from the off and it just seemed way too soon after a major life changing event for her to be really doing strictly. And Adam had only recently been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and was still getting to grips with it.
The celebs don't always know what they are letting themselves in for in terms of the intensity of the strictly bubble and how it will dominate their lives for months on end but TPTB are fully aware and have a duty of care not to take advantage of people.
How would it spoil the results?
Jesus! Just popped in to say I've popped my prosecco cork to this bombell news!
It reminds me when X factor started to go down hill it's a similar downwards trajectory. There needs to be a shake up of those in charge it's all become a bit lazy.
It's especially sad when they have an absolutely fantastic pro line up full of creative personalities that produce great work when left alone to just get on with their jobs without all the gimmicks etc.
I’ve been busy today, got home and found out Nigel is out of Strictly. I’m absolutely gutted about it. I love Nigel, and I love his partnership with Katya. I think their Charleston would have been brilliant. I‘m sure we will learn more about his injury in the show, him and Katya must be devastated to leave this way 
Bit of a weird thing to say when someone is potentially really badly injured.
I think the main thing they need to learn is more contingency planning. I don't know how they stop someone doing the show if they insist on doing it and are physically fine. Nigel is very fit, and it's bad luck he got injured. Angela, at 79, was fine. Nobody could have predicted Fanny Rat would be a dick to Amanda (except us)
I do agree but this also means they expect the final two to be doing potentially more routines in the final week. Talk about breaking them even if it the final week.
It will be a dire final with just two left in the competition . I presume we will be left with Layton and Ellie as finalists. As good as Layton is I just don’t see him being the winner . Joe Public likes someone who doesn’t have professional dance experience .
Personally I hope it’s the start of a better run of partners for her. She has shone more than ever this series, I don’t think she will leave just yet.
I think Jody had the salsa with lifts on a prosthetic leg with a poorly stump for a reason and Adam the Ugo rhumba of ‘out the door’ … apart from the fact he looked like he could barely stand unaided let alone jig about … a way to solve their medical issues without having to pull out.
i think they need to look at the dance order and take anything with lifts out for at least the first 4 or 6 weeks (Amanda damaged her ribs in the first dance with lifts and struggled regardless of anything else), tell them they don’t have to train from sun up to sun down and put boundaries in place so that the pros aren’t getting phone calls in the middle of the night from someone stressing about a flekerl.
i think they mean that essentially the bottom 2 of a three person semi-final would almost certainly be the dance-off, so the audience would know the result (in knowing what the dance off would be) once the credits were rolling really. it’s just a poorly worded tweet.
why would the dance off spoil the results?---
Ahhhhh I see
that's a good pointMakes sense, but that’s the case a lot of the time when you look at the leaderboard after the Saturday night show. It was just the wording that confused me
experienced strictly viewers can definitely work it outMakes sense, but that’s the case a lot of the time when you look at the leaderboard after the Saturday night show. It was just the wording that confused me
having three people just makes it REALLY obvious i think, which is probably what they want to avoid.They certainly need to look at how they manage early leavers in the initial weeks - injuries can’t be helped. Just adding numbers doest solve this type of issue occurring.
I also think it would beneficial to take a look at the elimination process - either by bringing back the person who left the week earlier or not having an elimination on one week but then having two a week later. This works with other shows so why can’t it work with strictly?
