I'm disappointed about John leaving, purely on principle, as I didn't personally support him (go Jodie!) and have never voted for any of them. People have spent money voting to keep him in; for him to 'retire' from the competition is unfair on those who paid to support him last week.
Ideally, the producers should have had a word with the judges about voicing their opinion after each dance is performed, but then just bloody shutting up about it until the following week. Phillips et al are on any damn program that'll have them, saying the same old thing about the likes of John S again and again. They need to get a hold of themselves and realize that SCD isn't really that important.
It's all a bit of a shambles.
