Strictly Come Dancing 2020 – Week 4 Discussion/Poll

It’s been an eventful week in Strictlyland with one couple having to pull out and Anton getting his chance to sit on the judging panel due to Motsi having to quarantine. But now all eyes are on the dancefloor for the remaining 9 couples.

But who will be heading into next week and who will be in the dance off? You can let me know your thoughts about that or anything else to do with tonight’s show right here in the comments or by heading on over to Facebook or Twitter.

No prizes for getting involved in the discussion sadly. You can read more about why (though the reasons should be obvious) over on my my FAQ post which also covers a lot of information about what is happening with this site during lockdown 2.0.

As always I’ll be opening a poll right here when all the couples have danced. However the poll question has changed. I’m now asking who got your votes (or who would have if you live abroad and can’t vote or didn’t vote for another reason). You can as always select up to 3 options (if you voted for more than 3 people pick the three who got more votes from you or your favourite 3). If you can’t vote sadly the site thinks you are a robot. Theres some tips in the FAQ to get your vote registered but if the issue persists sadly I can’t do much about it

This poll is no longer accepting votes

Other spoiler sources are struggling due to the lack of moles but The Strictly Spoiler prepared for the pandemic and was ready for lockdown. A spoiler based on my exit poll (which has been right every week so far this series) will be landing later tonight. Confirmation or correction will appear some point tomorrow morning.

It’s been a tough year for all of us but providing this site is still going to cost me close to £1000 this series. I always stress this on the donation links but it is more important than ever in 2020 that you only consider helping me out with these costs if you can afford to do so. I would not want to cause anyone else hardship because they chose to help me out. However all donations are as ever gratefully received. You can make a one time donation by clicking on THIS LINK or using the button below:

Also new for 2020 you can make a regular donation by becoming a patreon. Donations on patreon start at just the price of a coffee a month and if the patreon page takes off I can start looking at patreon exclusive content/rewards.

There’s also ways you can help me out for free and even make some money yourself by doing so. One way I’ve been plugging on social media a lot these last few weeks is by checking your energy prices and earning yourselves £50 in the bargain by switching using my magic link (you must complete the switch using the link and not just get a quote which you come back to later). Octopus energy have 100% green electricity, are a Which recommended supplier and were one of the few suppliers to maintain a full telephone service during the pandemic. They’re a different supplier to the one I was recommending last series and are definitely worth a look as we head into the colder months.

Switching energy suppliers is quick (it takes about 2 minutes to sign up from my link and usually about 3 weeks for the process to complete), there is no interruption to your energy supply, no engineers have to visit and you don’t need to change you meters (unless you sign up to a smart tariff and don’t have a compatible meter). I get £50 from every switch so this does help me out quite a bit.

Alternatively you can help me out by doing things as simple as liking all my content, sharing it and getting involved in the discussions on the social networks. This all helps to increase my visibility and get me noticed on those networks and is also appreciated!

Nicola and Katya Withdraw From Strictly Come Dancing 2020

The BBC have revealed today that Nicola and Katya have been forced to withdraw from the 2020 series of Strictly due to Katya testing positive for Covid-19.

I, and I’m sure the community, wish Katya well and hope she makes a speedy recovery.

Due to their withdrawal there will be one less couple in the final at the end of the series however it is likely that this is why there were extra couples in the series and The BBC were originally planning for a 5 couple final if there were no incidents like this however due to this withdrawal the final will feature 4 couples assuming no one else has to withdraw.

Jason Bell Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2020

As revealed in last night’s mole free Strictly Spoiler (more on that later) Jason and Luba have been eliminated after losing in the dance off to Nicola and Katya.

Complaints to The BBC

You can relive their Salsa from week 2 in the video below:

Did the right couple leave? As always you can let me know your thoughts about that or anything else to do with tonight’s not live results show right here in the comments or over on Facebook/Twitter.

You can still vote in this week’s poll and tell me who got your votes/who your favourites were. Like always you can select up to 3 options. Unless you are a robot. Then you can select zero options!

Strictly 2020 Week 3 (Movie Week) - Who got your vote? (choose up to 3)
Vote

I just want to take a quick moment to talk about the spoiler this weekend. As most of you know I’ve been working on a backup plan to source and deliver a spoiler through the off season. I trialled it last weekend and it worked but this was the first weekend we had to go live with it due to the new lockdown in England getting rid of the Strictly audience. This was a big risk, a lot of people said it couldn’t be done and I’ve had many people basically saying that I was guessing the results even though it was a bit more scientific than that as I used precisely the same method The BBC do to generate their results.

The last two weeks however have shown that it can be done, I can predict the public vote accurately or at least accurately enough to generate a correct bottom two which is what matters to us. In addition I now have some further sources that I cant elaborate on but they will allow me to confirm or correct the spoiler my polls have generated over the course of the weekend.

We’ve got 3 more weeks of this and my intention at the moment is to basically do what happened this weekend which is:

  1. A spoiler based on my polls will be posted on a Saturday night. This will come with all the usual disclaimers that it has been generated using poll data may not be accurate as it is subject to further confirmation
  2. Once that confirmation is received the spoiler will either be confirmed or corrected. This will likely happen at some point Sunday morning

Those of you who must know ASAP are probably best checking the site Saturday night like normal but also checking again Sunday when I have confirmation. Also follow me on Facebook or Twitter as I will keep those networks apprised as to the latest developments as they happen. If accuracy is your bag you are best checking some time around Sunday lunch time by which point I should have had confirmation of the results.

These are unprecedented times but I’ve spent the off season preparing for them, I am more than ready, I continue to be able to deliver the results you crave at an acceptable reliability level in these covid times even without audience moles and will hopefully be able to keep operating throughout when many other sources are understandably struggling this year and at the moment it does seem from the other sources that all eyes are on me right now.

Speaking of operating providing this site is still going to cost me close to £1000 this series. I always stress this on the donation links but it is more important than ever in 2020 that you only consider helping me out with these costs if you can afford to do so.
