You'd think Len would have learned by now. To have the temerity to tell the public how they should think and spend their money was the height of arrogance from Mr Goodman.

Almost made me throw in a vote to save John myself...almost

No doubt there will be idiots still voting for him. Small-minded people who feel powerful by voting for rubbish because that's the only power they have in their pitiful little lives.

imo all of the other couples are more entertaining as well as better.”

You really don't get his wry, understated sense of humour do you, pammi.

A bit too subtle, possibly?

You need a stiff drink and a reality check petal! It's not the end of the world if John Sergeant lives to dance another week! He brings joy to many people, more so than some of the more "competent dancers" that bore some us to tears!

I was gobsmacked at how the judges really laid into John tonight. He'd basically staggered his way off the show, and then they competed with each other to be as witheringly critical as possible. I'm only surprised they didn't get up and hit him with knuckledusters and baseball bats. That's the only reason why I'm not so sure now he'll go out. He should though.

I think people may be voting for Kristina

I thought this too. The atmosphere plumetted with their comments, there was a real venom to them with him tonight. If he's still there next week I hope we don't see something like that again.

well he made me laugh tonight again and no he should not be in the final but Kristina is lovely. What I don't like is the judges are just plain rude to him and never give any constructive criticism and never have, even Andrew Castle they did! OK he probably won't improve but he is trying and training. So until we are down to the final 5 or so quite happy to see him stay in for the fun element! And if that makes me an idiot so be it - its only SCD !

Truth is the 'sack number' will live in most peoples memories a lot longer than anything else on this years show.

Probably. Do you think many people were voting for Andrew? Especially after Ola's outrageous catsuit appearance!!
