Current mood:

disappointed

John Sergeant pulls out of Strictly Come Dancing.

I think this is a real shame. I'm disappointed. I wanted him off, but I wanted him voted off by the public, I didn’t want this. I've felt quite sorry for him this week, what with Arlene and Cherie & James all over the papers and breakfasts shows. Cherie & James are within their rights to voice their opinions, now that they're no longer competing (although it could come across as being a bad loser), but Arlene's a judge, and shouldn't be voicing her opinion, except on the show. I feel like he's being bullied a bit. It's not his fault that he got his far, it's the public's. I personally wanted the best dancers in the show, but I understand why people voted for him. I just feel like he must have felt pushed up against the wall to feel the need to do this, which makes me sad.

I'm scared to look at the Strictly forums to see how they're reacting to the news. It's largely the people on there that make me feel he's been bullied. Some of those people are nuts.

	I'm annoyed by this. I feel he should have competed as normal on Saturday and asked people not to vote for him. Even last Saturday he was touting for votes. Still, it makes me right about his leaving time frame, I guess. I feel sorry for Kristina. She didn't deserve this. (Reply to this) (Thread)
