  • 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"

  • it's frigging SHOW BUSINESS... not business.... SHOW-business...

  • 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.

  • I'm glad you agree and I think that rule would be a vast improvement. This whole issue has died away now and I don't want to deal with it again

  • 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?

  • I thought Mark Foster was as worse. People need to remember as already said , he walked, he wasn't pushed. people angry because he left should be angry with him. He was going on his cruise and that's why he walked.

  • nahh

    cos he was a serious political correspondant

    and his dances were funny

    he was so bad he was good in my opinion

  • He was only popular because the judges cunted him off. Mark Foster was more entertaining because he was a worse dancer than John. JS was very clever and knew how to win the public vote and then there's uproar when he leaves. He choose to leave and wasn't pushed out. I think he knows he could have won it and if he had Strictly would have been finished.
