Strictly Come John Sergeant...

Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips has said she would be "desolate" if John Sergeant were to win the show. Sergeant has sailed through to next week's Strictly Come Dancing show on a wave of public support despite coming bottom of the judges' score table with dance partner Kristina Rihanoff.
Another judge Craig Revel Horwood was so miffed by the outcome he said: "This is a dance competition. It's not Strictly Come John Sergeant."

Actress Cherie Lunghi became the ninth celebrity to leave the show, even as the judges praised her "breakthrough" performance. Her dance partner James Jordan begged viewers to change the way they were voting after Sergeant was saved.
Jordan said: "This is supposed to be a dance contest. Please, please, people at home vote for the dancing. I think Cherie had a lot more to show."
John Sergeant dances through divide

Sorry - in a lapse of judgement, this blogger watched the show on Saturday (it won't happen again)....

In all honesty though, I can't see why there's all this fuss about John Sergeant. If "Strictly" was supposedly a "serious" dance contest, it would be shown midweek, late at night on BBC3, and without Bruce Forsyth, the moaning judges and the "celebrity" dancers.
Come to think of it there WAS a serious dance contest on the BBC once - it was called "Come Dancing"...
