So, okay, John Sergeant is still in and Cherie Lunghi is out. And, no, on the basis of dance talent, John should have gone out, but it's not just about dancing, is it? Every season, the BBC have picked someone older or overweight or clearly dance-challenged in some other way. I've said it elsewhere on this site, but if they didn't want the public to vote for bad dancers, they shouldn't have invited bad dancers to be on the show. Yes, it pains me to say it, but he has as much right to be there as everyone else. Many viewers enjoy the early stages when the celebrities can't dance and show themselves up, but you can't then decide there is a point when enough is enough and they have to go. We have to take the rough with the smooth. Of course, that's easy for me to say since no-one has yet gone out (at John's expense) that I was all that bothered to see go. If Lisa Snowdon had gone last night, I might have been ranting about the injustice of it all, but I hope I wouldn't. What I *do* hope is that John has been apologetic to Rachel Stevens last week and Lisa Snowdon this. Clearly the show means an awful lot more to them than it does to him. It is a bit galling to see them so upset, while John stands there with that slightly smug smile. Anyway, on the upside, I really enjoyed the Bruce Forsyth/Anton du Beke performance. Why the BBC would consider anyone else at all as Brucie's replacement (you know, if he ever leaves) I just don't know. Anton is Bruce 2.0!! Source
