It was Halloween Week at Strictly and to keep you all amused whilst you constantly refresh this site waiting for the spoiler to come in here’s a spooky poll where you can tell me who your favourites were this week. As always you can choose up to 3 options.
Also why not check out my Let’s Get Social post which details all the ways you can interact with the Strictly Spoiler both on this site and on Facebook and Twitter. The post also clears up some confusion over which social channels are operated by me and which are absolutely nothing to do with me (despite having similar names and copying and pasting content from this site and plastering it all over the Strictly hashtags spoiling the result for many who don’t want to be spoiled)

Thank God for your Strictly Spoiler site. You save my sanity on a weekly basis! I hate the wait, plus, if I’m upset or p’d off at who leaves, my ire is spent by the time I watch on Sunday.
Keep up the good work.
This is a very good service you provide to counteract all the nonsense of the supposed ‘wait’ til Sunday. Keep going!
You need to look at the percentage figures on your poll. They do not add up to 100%.
Accirding to the figures the first place took over 50%, second 20%, third 20% which is 90% of the vote, yet the remaining dancers took well over 40%. Clearly there is a problem with the percentages being way over 100% as a whole.
You may want to take a look at the calculation.
It’s a quirk of allowing more than one vote per person. The poll reports the percentage of people voting for an option but as each person can vote up to 3 times this means the percentages won’t add up to 100% and could add up to 300% if everyone used all 3 of their votes
Only just discovered this site and think it’s great. How long does it take for you to print the results of the show ?
Result is now in. It usually comes in shortly after 10pm each week
I know what to do in future. Great idea – thanks so much !!!
Brilliant site Dave, thank you so much. Last year you had a smaller site which was also great and I had no issues and now you’ve moved to a larger site due to popularity but I’m having problems accessing the poll and result. I couldn’t get it this week till 4am (I was awake not that I waited u.ntil 4am!!☺) so I’m baffled why this may be, I’m honestly happy with waiting but my mum is not so patient – I’ve told her she still gets the result before the ‘pretend’ Sunday evening show. It’s just a ridiculous joke every week but this weeks even more so with them expecting viewers to believe everyone took their make up off and then the team spent hours putting it all back on for the 40 minute result show!! Its just bonkers!!
The top 3 in this week’s poll are the people I’d want as the final 3. Gleb’s choreography is so so fantastic, so different and getting better and better. Not sure Halloween show worked this year as it felt most of the dances didn’t match the dance and story. Trying to have a Harry Potter story to a Paso Doble was confusing and a rumba with Frankenstein…well the less said about that the better. Like the rest of the poll my overall favourite couple are Aliona and Jay and look forward to watching them and the chemistry they have, in our household Aliona has always been our favourite girl professional (then close 2nd is Natalie). IMHO Kirsty shouldn’t have gone this week. She works hard, listens to feedback, takes it seriously, gives it her all from start to finish and has improved each week. Jamelia seems to do the least prep with darcy saying she still shows when she gets tired towards the end of the dance- its week six, her stamina should be there, plus for me the waterworks are getting old, Carol and Katie had really harsh comments and you didn’t see them in tears! Sorry my little rant over with☺.
Thank you again to you, your website and your inside sources?. x
Hi Polly,
I’m not sure why you’d be having issues getting on the site. Since I moved hosts as far as I’m aware the site has stayed up at peak times around when the spoiler is posted as my new host is better able to cope with the traffic spikes this site receives. I’m on the site myself quite regularly at these peak times either to post the spoiler, approve comments, check my site stats or check how the poll vote is going and I’ve not noticed any issues. The site registered about 40,000 views in the period from when strictly ended on Saturday until 4am when you got on so many other people got on the site fine
Hopefully your issues getting on the site were temporary (possibly a temporary issue with your ISP) and you’ll be fine next week but if you keep having problems let me know and I’ll see what I can do
Thank you Dave. It was driving me bonkers (even had probs posting the first comment) so I am supposed to be with a mobile company that is the best and ‘Everything Everywhere’ and eventually I Googled and found that lot of people were having problems from Bradford to St Ives – including London altho you can only tick a box to say there is a problem and it’s not exactly helpful. However I’ve just got on here first time with no delay or kicking me out so I apologise, clearly last week and this week it was my brilliant network. I hadn’t thought to check it before because I had tried my home wifi still getting the same problems. Anyway I’ll see what next week brings. Thank you for your reply with such a busy site to upkeep. ☺
