I think Melvin had more to offer, and he did seem to be seen by TPTB as suitable to be out early.

I hope they bring him back to the show or ITT at some point this Series.”

I agree. People are saying that he was crap, but he was only in the show for 2 weeks. Who knows how much he would have improved?

That said, Melvin was a true gent and Janette a true lady in the way they accepted the decision. I wasn't terribly keen on her, but she's gone up in my estimations due to how she's accepted it.

I'd never heard of him, but I'm sure his decency will open loads of doors for him, because a wider audience has also seen this.

Good for them both. And nice to see.”

Totally agree I loved how dignified both of them were and I truly believe Janette actually really liked Melvin as a celeb to train also (it was a pity that the audience were applauding while she spoke.
It was an unfortunate situation and hopefully Anastasia will be ok to continue in the series as goodness knows she has had a lot to deal with health wise

I doubt it, they would probably just not have a DO this week. he may well not want to come back anyway. He has been a total gentleman about it though and good on him for that. No snide remarks like Jamelia did last year when the whole Andre controversy erupted.

By the sound of it though Anastacia isn't training. If she were I doubt everyone and their uncle would be wishing her a swift recovery and a get well soon. So if she isn't training what does that mean for this weekend? Does she pull out, does she bye this weekend and see how she feels next week? Considering the severity of her injury if she stays she is really putting her health on the line in every dance.

I HIGHLY doubt it unless he suddenly and miraculously learned all the technique he'd failed to learn during the week. He didn't make a particular bad mistake, he just wasn't very good at the dance.

He and Janette were pragmatic in their exit. I'm sure there's a sniff of 'what if' about the situation and they would've liked one last go, but they must realise that having come bottom with both the judges and the public they can't really argue that they deserved to stay.
