Is Strictly Come Dancing Rigged? Fans Claim BBC Wants to Eliminate Contestant after Week Three Dances are Revealed

Speculation is growing among fans of Strictly Come Dancing that the show may have a bias against one particular contestant. Nikita Kanda, who narrowly avoided elimination in the dance-off last week, has been given a challenging dance for the all-important third week: the Jive to music from the film Clueless, as part of the movie week theme.

Some viewers took to Reddit to express their concerns, with one user claiming, "They want Nikita and Gorka gone." Another sympathized with Nikita, saying, "A jive isn't what you want after a knock to your confidence," while a third user feared that she may struggle with the dance and be eliminated.

Last week, Nikita found herself in the bottom two, narrowly avoiding elimination as Les Dennis was sent home. Following this, fans have been questioning whether the judges have a bias against Nikita.

Outside of her Strictly journey, Nikita is well-known as the host of the BBC Asian Network Breakfast Show. When she announced her participation in the show, she expressed her excitement and gratitude, stating, "I can't wait for the glitz, the glamour, the hair, the make-up, the outfits, and even to meet those judges."

What's Next for Nikita?

All eyes will be on Nikita as she takes on the Jive this week. Will she be able to overcome the challenges and secure her place in the competition? Strictly fans across the UK will be eagerly watching to find out.
