“Some keen spectators have brought posters supporting Tom Flynn. I am informed by one member of the Dancesport team that he will need more than posters to dance his way to the top half of the judges’ leaderboard.”

In fact I’m starting to think that the Yorker’s system of name-or-anon only is far preferable because of the circumstances that this can lead to. Usually it’s obvious but if someone posts off a uni computer as another person with a semi-realistic post then it is difficult. I mean why would you post your actual opinion and pretend to be somebody else?

A great amount of money raised; kudos to them all. Some great dancing all-round and a slight shame that the popular vote seemed to edge towards those that had a fan club at the event. But the point wasn’t who won anyway so kudos to Alex for getting the most money because even if it made the vote a little unfair it gave the most to RAG

So you weren’t rich or well connected enough to get to strut your stuff, get over it.

Well done to everyone involved and well done to Jamie and all the RAG Committee for organising such a successful event. Hopefully the rest of the week goes just as smoothly!

Why can’t it be a simple popular vote? This has the potential to become the victory of the richest and best connected.

Shame

Note by a moderator – this comes from a different IP to the one Jason normally uses so probably wasn’t by him (especially as he disclaims it below)

YSTV apologises for the stream problems earlier. We’re experiencing massive demand currently and we’re doing the best we can with what we’ve got. Keep with us. Thanks for watching!

Anyway, I’m well impressed with MJB of all people. They’ve all danced fantastically but I am surprised by that performance. I personally think it was the best of the night (though I’m expecting Sam or Tom to win)

My vote would be on Burton or Foy, I thought they both danced excellently.

Enjoying the text commentary though, much more entertainingly written than any I’ve read on here before…

Deputy Sports Editor Natasher Tranter was last seen fleeing into the snowy night with Politics Editor Tom Hobohm in search of a working feed.

Deputy News Editor Adrian Choa has also disappeared with his side-kick Luke.

Those four remaining are in a similar state of disarray:

Adam Shergold, Sports Editor. is losing the will to live,
Sian Turner, Deputy Editor, is crying uncontrollably in the corner,
Jim Bulley, News Editor, is searching wildly for alcohol, and
Peter Campbell, Deputy Politics Editor, left for the toilet in tears 10 minutes ago and hasn’t been seen since.
