Strictly fans furious after working out how to ‘predict’ show winner – and it could ‘spoil’ it forever liennhi
STRICTLY Come Dancing viewers have suggested AI could ruin their chance of ever enjoying the show again.
Fans of the BBC reality dancing series have admitted being too scared to Google the show in case AI spoils any news or results.
One viewer shared a screenshot from a Google AI result that suggested sports pundit and former England footballer, Kate Carney, had made it to the final of this year’s competition.
While that above result was ultimately incorrect as the show was only halfway through, other fans moaned that they had also had Strictly spoilt for them thanks to the AI results or given them the wrong answers.
“Trying to find out which footballer has gone the furthest into the show and Google’s AI dropped this bombshell,” the original poster wrote.
Added a second person: “Lol! I had similar recently when I was being nosey and looking up Jimmy’s wife. Googles AI snippets confidently told me it was Lauren.”
And a third added: “Just goes to show how AI can misinterpret available information and get the conclusion wrong.”
The AI misinformation comes just days after the results of Icons Week were leaked hours early last week.
Like previous seasons the Sunday night results show, although presented as live, is filmed on Saturday night after the main live BBC One show.
The money-saving move means that for years the results have leaked online – and this year is no exception.
The contestants in the bottom two for Icons Week – which saw the likes of Cher, Cheryl and Harry Styles tributes take to the stage – and therefore the dance-off were revealed early.
The judges votes – with Anton Du Beke having the casting decision – also came to light early.
His position followed the rule change, which now sees head judge Shirley Ballas sharing the power to decide who goes home with her fellow judges.
Results leaking were not the only shocks to come from this year’s show.
Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman got teary as they opened the first show since announcing they were quitting at the end of the series.
Tess and Claudia announced their plans to step down from hosting Strictly Come Dancing on Thursday.
The two made history as primetime television’s first female presenting duo when they paired up to co-host the show in 2014.
Both had been part of Strictly since 2004, Tess hosting the main show with Bruce Forsyth and Claudia on spin-off It Takes Two.
‘No crowd. No warning. No mercy…’: Big Brother’s first ever back-door eviction just days away — as one housemate will vanish from the house in a shock midweek twist that no one sees coming… - suong
Big Brother will have its first BACK-DOOR eviction next week.
The ITV reality show will see one if its contestants leave in an unorthodox way without a crowd or fanfare.
A source said: “It will be sly and shocking, but will certainly mix things up and keep viewers on their toes.
“The producers are being very creative this year and contestants have no idea what to expect.
“The backdoor eviction will strike mid week, when housemates least expect it.”
A normal eviction will ALSO take place on Friday as the series nears its final weeks.
It comes after Farida and Zelah were axed from the Big Brother house on Friday in a double elimination leaving housemates stunned.
Walking out with a smile on her face, Farida declared: “Are you ready for the tea?”
She said: “I’m so happy to be out but I had the most amazing time.”
Next out was Zelah who, after hearing some boos, said: “I don’t think they like me”.
He told hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu: “I don’t know what to say.
“I’ve forgotten how to speak.”
Following Zelah’s departure, fellow housemate Emily shared a theory for why he may have been evicted.
Last year on Celebrity Big Brother, Heartstopper actor Bradley Riches was axed in secret.
His exit came as some of the cast received sweet messages from home.
Yet instead, he was treated to a visit from one of the Celebrity Big Brother hosts.
Host AJ Odudu told the star: “Bradley, your stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house is over, you must return to the house, say your goodbyes and leave immediately.”
It saw fans at the time contacting broadcasting watchdog Ofcom over the “cruel” proceedings.
Back in 2018, John Barnes left the CBB compound in a backdoor eviction after his fellow housemates chose to send him home.
Big Brother continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
