It’s not about the dancing. It’s about the suspense.
You want to see whether the fan-favourite survives. You want to see the pro dancer cry into their spray tan.
You want to find out who gets the dreaded “Strictly curse” whispered about in the tabloids.
The public vote is a mystery box.
Sometimes the best dancer goes home early. Astrophysics is easier to predict than this.
Last year, a contestant with two left feet stayed for weeks. Why? Because they were funny.
The British public loves an underdog. Or a dance that goes hilariously wrong.
