I especially liked the triple salco with double twist that Bruce Forsythe pulled off when tripping over to the judges.

Well .... I can dream cant I

I just can't believe that John Sergeant is still in, saved by the viewers once again, so we lose one of the better dances. Cerie Lunghi just didn't deserve to have lost, OK she didn't dance too well in the dance of, but still a million times better than John Sargenat has eve danced.

Its just making a mockery of the show now, John should have gone weeks ago he was always one of the worst dancers and it is a dance contest. Feel sorry for the good dancers being voted off as they are obviously putting in a lot of work and many hours of training to get to the standard they have reached. Having myself danced to competition level in the past it is hard work.

Agree with all posts of this view, however two thoughts: JS himself puts it perfectly. Unless they change the voting system, however infuriating, nothing that is happening is actually 'wrong'. And if they changed Tess Daly's script when she's in with the dancers, MAYBE just maybe the public could be persuaded to vote for dancing ability. Have you noticed she says 'if you want to see xxx dance again next week, vote...' and 'to keep your favourites in, vote...' There's a passing chance that if she said 'Who do you think danced best? Vote for the dancing skill they've achieved in such a short time' at least some people would vote differently. (this may help until/if they change the system, anyway)

I'm sure John Sargeant didn't ask to be in this show it is more likely that the BBC asked him to appear. Why? Because it is not a dance contest it is a celebrity reality programme which needs a bit of humour and controversy to keep it out of the doldrums just like all the others.

Its has a tired and predictable format which would have sunk without trace long ago without people like him. Stop taking it so seriously. I hope he reaches the final!

Then look for the spoiler thread of the week concerned. The result usually appears at about 11.30 pm Spanish time.

100% correct.
People forget that it's a dance contest for "named"people who CANT dance, that's why they are paired with people who can.

As a trained dancer, Cherie Lunghi was a ringer anyway.
