I presume because the production team still don't have a clue what is going on. It must have been chaos behind the scenes on Saturday, with the attention focused mainly on the covering for Bruce issue, and then suddenly not one injury, but two, to throw a complete spanner in the works. I feel that a better solution could have been to show the dress rehearsal footage of Jade and Ian for the judges to mark and the public vote, then there could be no accusations of foul play with the bye for Jade.
It really is all the amazing to consider what a good job Tess and Claudia made of hosting the show at short notice, and having to deal with the worst run of luck in all seven series of SCD! Go girl power, and Bruce, if you need a couple more weeks to get really fit, I think the show will be in safe hands.
There seemed to be all sorts of undercurrents running through the show tonight, with Katya and Phil hinting at discrepancies in the dance off decision; Craig drawing very deliberate attention to other people who had danced through injuries (Ricky, Phil and Ali this series, and Kate G in series 5) with the subtext that Laila made rather a mountain out of her ankle problem; Len pointing out that really Laila should have been in the dance off (although that will guarantee a sympathy vote for next week); and Ali and Brian talking very sympathetically, and with such high praise, about Jade.
I almost wept at Phil and Katya's exit interview. The VTs for this couple until the past few days have concentrated on him mucking around and her getting frustrated, but they seem not only to have had quite a laugh in training, but to have developed a real mutual respect and admiration, as well as a lasting friendship.
But then I think the producers have a quota for touching/fun relationships this year, and they have been allocated to Team Cola and Vincent and Natalie, so there was no room for Tuffers/Kat to be shown having too much fun.
Just bring back Tuffers!!!!!
