Annabel Croft at risk of leaving the competition, say Strictly fans
Strictly Come Dancing fans are speculating that Annabel Croft is being "set up" to be eliminated from the competition during the Blackpool episode. This comes after viewers expressed outrage over the dance-off "fix" that saved Angela Rippon over Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
Producers accused of setting up Annabel to leave the competition
Some fans believe that Annabel Croft is being unfairly targeted and predict that she will end up in the bottom two alongside Angela Rippon, who performed the same dance as Annabel. However, they suspect that Angela will be saved once again due to alleged favoritism from the judges. One viewer angrily stated, "The producers are setting up Annabelle to go next."
Debate over judges' favoritism
While some fans argue that Annabel danced better and Angela made mistakes, they fear that the judges will prioritize choreography over performance. Another viewer countered, "I’m not sure anyone could argue Adam or Krishnan danced better in their respective dance-off with her, even if she did have the odd slip. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of technique that is."
Angela Rippon's survival questioned
Angela Rippon has faced criticism for her ability to survive the past two weeks of the competition. Despite slipping during her performance, she received high scores and was saved by the judges, eliminating newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy and his partner Lauren Oakley. Fans have raised questions about how Angela has managed to stay in the competition.
Angela Rippon's confident response
During an interview on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two, Angela Rippon was asked about her thoughts on the competition. She confidently replied, "No I didn’t. I mean I don’t know why, I think the floor was slippery or my shoe was slippery and it just went, but no I didn’t. I mean Kai sort of still had hold of me and I just knew what I had to do next and managed to do it."
One viewer criticized Angela's response, stating, "Angela Rippon still being a tad arrogant that she didn’t think her stumble would affect the result. We all knew that too."
