Strictly sad
November 19, 2008
I’ve just read in the news that John Sergeant has pulled out of this years’ Stricly Come Dancing and I have to admit that I think its really sad that poor old ‘Sergeant Charming’ feels like he has to do this 
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t by any stretch of the imagination think he should still be in the competition – I personally think he should have been voted off a good couple of weeks ago but I think its really horrible that he obviously feels so bad about the situation that he feels he has to pull out! When all’s said and done it isn’t John’s fault that he’s been kept in the competition week after week and I would bet money that the people who voted for him last week simply to spite the judges (apparently a survey of 3,000 viewers found that 53% of those who backed John did so to rile Craig and co.!) are feeling pretty bad now – their ‘champion’ is leaving the show this weekend anyway and has been pretty much ‘forced’ to leave in a really horrid way.
I can totally understand why John has chosen to ‘gracefully withdraw’ but I do feel its a shame that he didn’t get to leave under the traditional rules of the show. Here’s to you John – a true gent!
