Format
{{Further|Strictly Come Dancing#Format}}
The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.

The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. As with the previous series, the bottom two couples have to perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with Len Goodman, as head judge, having the last and deciding vote.
Professional dancers

Reception
Donny Osmond's role as a judge in week three was panned by viewers, as he, unlike the other judges, was not a professional dancer. Viewers also deemed his scoring too inconsistent, as he awarded unusually high marks, including the first ten of the series.{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/strictly-come-dancing/11157362/Guest-judge-Donny-Osmond-riles-Strictly-fans.html|title=Guest judge Donny Osmond riles Strictly fans|date=12 October 2014|work=The Daily Telegraph}}{{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/strictly-come-dancing-donny-osmond-4422146|title=Strictly Come Dancing: Donny Osmond disappoints fans with judging role|author=Alistair McGeorge|work=mirror|date=11 October 2014}}
