When it's to do with Reality TV, they will pull any stunt to get the result that they want.

The three most corrupt things in this world are Reality TV, Politics and Sports, all three industries have pulled unbelievable farces in the past that were way more outlandish than Nigel's situation, especially considering this is the same Show that had to get John Sargent out because he was really popular with the public in his series.

Basically it's not a stretch to see this as something just a tiny bit dodgy.

I really don’t think that’s it, Mock. You can’t dance if you’ve twisted your rib and that’s pretty much all it is with Harman.

I nearly sh!t myself then. I thought this was about our Nigel in the jungle when I saw the thread title.

[Vanessa]

Not you lot thinking it's Nigel Farage.
I've been upset and that's given me a good laugh

[Alf]

Do you not get ITV in the Netherlands, Nicky?

Such a shame you have to miss "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" You'd love it.

There's no way this is anything other than an injury. Sorry folks, no conspiracy theories....

He was also injured on week 2, but this time it must be more serious.

Is it a conspiracy theory at this point?

It's quite clear imo that the Show has had to pull a John Sargent move because they feel like Nigel potentially winning might harm the Show in some way.

In the grand scheme of things it's just a Celebrity Dancing Show so it's not a big deal, but imo I think there's been a mutual agreement for Nigel to leave, after all I doubt that Nigel is going to care either way.

[millyrose]

It's sad Nigel has left i liked him

[Mystic Mock]

Look if he is genuinely injured then I do apologize.

I can't help but be skeptical though, especially if I am right on who the finalists will end up being.

[Redway]

He sounded like anyone tranqued up on painkillers would, Mock. I know you don’t mean any harm but this isn’t the time for conspiracy theory. They wouldn’t have him on tramadol just to boot him out so that someone else could win.

If he has hurt himself, then I hope that he gets better, I don't think that anyone should be injuring themselves on Strictly Come Dancing, so hopefully his ribs can heal up.

And regardless of conspiracy theories, Annabel and Ellie both need to go through this semi-final just so that as viewers we actually have a competitive final.

No offense to Bobby & Layton, but they're looking considerably behind the two girls at the moment.

He was also injured on week 2. Had to have physio.
Leyton is not winning anyway. It will be Ellie. Or Annabelle of she gets to the final.
Bobby is the weakest one. Nigel was miles better.

We need Annabel in the final just to give Ellie a scrap in the public vote.

[Nicky91]

no conspiracy theories please


honestly i think their intended charleston choreo was proven way too difficult, i kinda do blame the judges for having stayed extra harsh on him all these weeks which is why they kept challenging themselves with more difficult choreo's by the week


don't think he would've withdrawn if he didn't hurt his ribs yesterday morning


also it was the only thing the BBC could do was cancel the elimination, and carry over this weeks scores to next week semi final (so now we will have 3 sets of scores next week: musical week + the two semi final dances)



Layton might have 40 now, but weaker moments might still put him back in trouble and no you can't use this weeks performances for next weeks dance off, so Layton isn't out of danger yet


the other 3 couples need to make sure they hopefully have two strong performances next week, high scoring performances if possible too

[Vanessa]

He did look in a lot of pain, even though he was on medication.

[millyrose]

I do think the final will Ellie Layton and Annabelle

No offense to Bobby, but it would make for the best final, so I hope that you're right.

[Liam-]

It’s rigged because the results were as pretty much everyone predicted? That just shows that the public perception was spot on

I said that the Show deliberately removed Ellie's competition to win before the final.

And guess what happened?

Tbf to Ellie though, my issue is not with her specifically, it's the production deliberately creating one sided competitions over the last few seasons, or in the case of this one where Nigel and Annabel might've actually been competition to Ellie, the Show removes Annabel before the final, and Nigel admittedly got injured (conspiracy theory aside) basically creating another Hamza or Rose one sided coronation years.

Instead of having speculation on who's going to win out of Ellie, Nigel & Annabel, we instead get a who's going to come second out of Bobby & Layton final.

It’s not a conspiracy theory that you predicted a very obvious result, Ellie was always going to win, no matter who was in the final because she was in the most popular partnership, everyone and their mother knew that’s how the show was going to end, that’s not the shows fault, you think way too far into everything when there doesn’t need to be any thought
