John Seargant walked off strictly

[twinsetandpearls]

What a noble thing to do.

huh? seriously?

not sure that's noble. he's entertained a lot of people. spose it comes down to ..is it a dance contest or an entertainment show..

??

awwwww no way

can't believe so many people were making such a silly fuss about this

he was entertaining people...surely it's an entertainment show? bless him he's lovely

spoof news report

here

(should have started my own thread!)

Actual news report

sorry for disbelieving you

Don't really blame him!

They put this show and the dancers up fopr a public vote.
The public vote to keep him on.
The public, the viewers the whole programme is made for, want to see JS. They want him to entertain them.
It's a popularity contest like I'm a Celeb get me outta here and BigBrother, X Factor. Good singers leave, more likable peopel saty. Same as the other reality TV shows.
It's bloody ridiculous

x post mm22bys

yup if it's really about dancing they should do away with the public vote
then again reading that report sounds like he would have been seriously embarassed to actually win it

I am gutted he has gone, I assume he has bowed down to pressure from the professional dancers and producers.

Well Im sorry, but they chose John to be a contestant and they must be prepered for any contestant to win the show if the public vote.

They are happy to make millions from the public who pick up the phone and vote yet feel they can tell us who we should and shouldn't vote for?

I feel like bouycotting the show now.

I don't watch Strictly. But I have a feeling I am missing out on a great cultural moment. one where the public sticks two fingers up at the makers and presenters of these faintly ridiculous but obviously entertaining programs, and starts singing "My way". marvellous.

oh. he really has gone. shame.

Suspicious old me thought it a bit strange when the lovely Kristina didn't appear on ITT with him. (Was it just last night, or the night before? I seem to be living on Planet Strictly at the moment.)

I wonder what Kristina's take on all this was and how she really felt?

Just goes to show how fixed these things must have been before the votes started having to be regulated after all the scandals.

Am disgusted with Strictly!

they should never have invited him on the show in the first place - they obviously thought he would be crap and be the underdog.

He has a damn good try every week and he might not be the best but he is lovely and entertaining and should still be there.

Hardly life and death stuff is it? It is an entertainment show and he entertained me.

There is a debate about this amongst the account dept to my right as we speak! I would say it's a rough 70/30 split in favour of John S. Very heated. It may come to blows!

I always thought it was about the most improved each week

exactly. john is actually learning something from each dance,and gaining confidence. he does improve,albeit slightly.

rachel stevens,well,i've watched her footwork,and dancing in competition is mainly about what the feet do......she's not "all that".

that is disgraceful. I wouldn't have voted for him (mind you I don't actually vote for any of them!) but it is a competition opened to everyone...he is a valid contestant, therefore able to proceed through the competition as the points and voting dictates.

Shame, I love strictly, but absolutley do not like bullying.

Did he walk off like a big cuddly teddy bear?

I shall be boycotting the programme from now on and sticking needles in an Arlene voodoo doll.

Facebook Group hereRe-instate John or refund my licence fee!

Was he pushed?

I don't think he should have left, but he probably felt a lot of pressure to do so. Can't believe what James Jordan said about him on ITT, about how he was just trying to make himself look good. I liked him, although I would have preferred him to go over Cherie.
