Adam Thomas Eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing is once again at the center of a fix row following the weekend's results. Waterloo Road actor Adam Thomas was eliminated from the long-running BBC dancing show after losing the dance-off to Angela Rippon.
Outrage over Angela Rippon's Mistakes
Viewers were left fuming as they claimed that Angela Rippon made mistakes in her Waltz. On Saturday's episode, Adam, 35, failed to impress with his Rumba and landed at the bottom of the leaderboard. Angela Rippon, 79, scored only one point higher with her Waltz.
'Closest Ever' Showdown
After receiving the least votes from the public, both contestants found themselves in the dreaded showdown. Host Claudia Winkleman and judge Anton Du Beke described it as one of the 'closest ever' dance-offs. Ultimately, all four judges elected to save Angela Rippon. However, fans of the show accused it of being a 'fix'.
Outrage on Social Media
Viewers took to social media, expressing their outrage at the result. Many claimed that Angela made mistakes and that Adam should have advanced. One fan wrote on Twitter, "Disappointed in the judges' vote on the dance-off. Angela clearly made mistakes and Adam should have gone through. Favouritism will ruin Strictly." Another fan called it a "sham" and criticized Angela's performance.
Several viewers accused the judges of wanting Angela to progress to Blackpool, suggesting that the decision was biased and unfair. Despite the controversy, Angela will progress to the next week, bringing her one step closer to competing in the legendary Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
Age is Just a Number
Angela Rippon, at the age of 79, is the oldest contestant to ever compete on Strictly Come Dancing. Throughout the series, she has consistently received higher scores from the judges compared to Adam.
Fans expressed their frustration and labeled the show a 'fix'. The controversy surrounding the elimination of Adam Thomas has once again sparked debate among viewers.
