I will second that. All these people that are saying that this is not a dance contest but an entertainment show don't seem to realise that one of the elements that make the show entertaining is the fact it is a contest.
Anyway the show is thinking of making a new rule to avoid this happening again. It is called 3 strikes. It means if a couple ends up bottom of the judges leaderboard for 3 weeks running, they will automatically be eliminated with no dance off. What do you think of this rule?
Anyone who tries the dances deserves the credit, and the votes, however people should vote if their contestant can actually dance. Don't vote because of popularity, vote for that person if they are really good! You do a disservice to the contestant by voting strictly on popularity and because you might not the judges comments and scores.
They have made a new rule from next series to avoid a repeat of this. It is called 3 strikes. If you end up bottom of the judges leaderboard for 3 weeks running, then you will be automatically eliminated without facing the dance off. What does everyone think of this?
The public should decide, and we have decided to keep him in.
Does anyone really believe that this has not happened as a result of the overpayed judges making threats to the producers and John being forced to quit, despite what he is saying publicly.
Why? All they are doing is doing their job. John has admitted that he was not forced or bullied out of the compitition and all they are doing is giving their professional opinion on the dance.
I do not mean to offend people, but if the public were keeping John in for the entertainment, then they have no taste. The good dancers provide better entertainment if you ask me.
I know I have said this many times, but the judges are giving there professional opinion. When they say John is poor, they are not telling him stories, it is the truth. It is a DANCE, I repeat DANCE contest, not a popularity contest. All the pros and celebs want to win. Now he is gone, the public can focus on voting for the best dancer. Austin or Rachel to win for me.
VOTE FOR THE DANCE.
thank god he gone, he should hav been in the audience since week 1!! he was entertaining but to many good dancers hav been voted out wen he has been saved its not on! the show is call strictly come DANCING not strictly come ENTERTAINING or POPULARITY!! i am glad he has gone. and i agree with jaradoref about the three strick rule its a good idea! they should reinstate cherie to!! she was a great dancer i was sad to see her go xx
Just proves democracy isn't always a good thing.
I think that if he won the show it would be a joke but it would make this year a bit different to other years so i hope someone bad wins sometime.
So the next series will all be great dancers to start so this doesnt happen again ,oh my god it will be SO boring!! Go John get your own show now we love you x
Why dafuq is this news worthy.. great bbc journalism at its best
I think the BBC could do well out of this by having two shows next year.
One show for none Professionals under 30 and a second show for none Professionals over 40
Every ones happy and we get to watch Strictly twice.
I don't get Arlene. I think she was wrong, John Sergeant was something new, Julian Clary had had SOME decent scores, he barely had any, he kick-started the proper trend of someone who was purely in it for fun, and I love him for it, it's brilliant.
An excellent way of stating the truth.
To be fair, whilst I do agree that it does "make a joke" of SCD, it is unfair on the public who PAID MONEY TO RING TO KEEP HIM IN. He should not have quit and instead have stayed in. If he won, he won, if he lost, he lost. Ulimately, the public decide who wins this show, not the celebs themselves.
They actually ARE going to do it as from next series.
The viewers voted to keep him, is telephone voting a waste of money?
He has left in disgust, for the cruel remarks made about him.
I am disappointed that he decided to pull out, and his comment about winning was to hit back at all the people, including the judges who made those comments. Good for you John!
It is called 3 strikes. If a couple ends up bottom of the judges leaderboard 3 weeks in a row, they will be automatically eliminated without facing the dance off. What do you think of it?
i have to say the judges have been very harsh on him
i mean they asked him on the show and they know he's a political commentator in his sixties and a bit portly,
what did they expect!
every week it was "YOUR DANCING WASN'T BRILLIANT, you portly man in your sixties"
Can't believe this made the news.
I am hoping it will get more people to vote 4 the best dancersbinstead of the sympathy vote.
HA! Arlene phillips; "sad to see him go". LIES. they've ruined the show.
its a shame and all that he's decided to pull out, but at least now somebody decent will have earnt their victory.
Sorry but the moment they opened it to a public vote it ceased to be about just dancing. The public are not dance experts, but they know what they like. The judges may be judging the dancing but the public are judging the entertainment factor. They wanted John to stay on because they enjoyed it more. This is not a specialist ballroom dancing show but a light entertainment program - deal with it.
Ok I'll re-phrase that, every ones happy barr one !!
Would have been a "joke too far" in 2008, sure, but nothing terrifying was going on in 2008. Would have won unchallenged and caused a violent political subculture these days.
Oh my god!!!!!!! I can't believe that he's dropped out i will miss him but he should have gone out on the last show cause he is quite rubbish!!!!!
John Sargeant you selfish bastard! No I jest.
I am the selfish one. I kept voting for him just to see Christina each week. I hope she comes back for the next series with someone(only slightly!) better than John. Ultimately I think the judges were the ones out of order.
Good luck to John and especially Christina.
if they didn't want people like john sergeant to win, why do they put people that will obviously be terrible dancers on the show.
its a bloody joke
It's not fair! >:(
Assuming he was going to win what a joke!!
Imagine if strictly would be watching Fr Ray Kelly dancing on dancing with the stars ireland what would they say?
EVERYONE- BBC Complaints we need 2000 complaints to get him back.
Everyone saluting John Sergeant massively fails. It's like so stupid it's not funny. I couldn't sleep after seeing his leaving video as it is so wrong. They had no badge to salute from, and they were saluting a rank that you shouldn't salute. C'mon BBC, actually make yourselves look clever for once.
So are we meant to take this show seriously now?
Washed up celebs prancing around in glittery costumes is still kinda funny though.
I agree. What do u think to the new rule they are inroducing?
lol if he had won this it would be funny as fuck
Clumsy Oaf!!!!
Won't be watching this again. If the public vote for John it is because they like him.
Lets get rid of Philips now.
TV Burp
The office? Think you'll find it was the British.. And the American one sucks.
who gives a f*ck about what the judges think?! Its all about who the VIEWERS want to win. Thats the only reason this show is on the air in the first place.
The judges just can't take it that Sergeant is more popular then they will ever be.
It's a show FOR the public, and he was voted IN byt the public.
If he won, it's because the public wanted him to win.
Sad.
