If he had not walked off the show there would have been a proper semi final and TOM RS AND LISA WOULD ALL have been in with a chance of the final

Honestly!
Everybody knows it's Cherie's fault.

No, one of them would have missed out as the public would have voted for John.

No you would have had the situation here that you had last week with Austin and JS would be in the dance off. There was never any chance of him making the final, however with him leaving he has robbed the viewers of at least a decent 3 person final rather than a 2 person non event

Rachel = 75 - 4 points
Lisa = 75 - 4 points
Tom = 75 - 4 points
John = very few - 1 point

....

Not perhaps at this stage

Poor John can't catch a break! Even now he's out of the competition, he's still being blamed for other contestants leaving!

Leave John alone. When he was in the competition he was criticised because he finished bottom of the leader board but got the highest public vote. Now people are blaming him for poor Tom's predicament, that is Tom who is finishing bottom of the leader board and getting the highest public vote.........

surely it was Kate's fault...... oh bugger that was last year! I just cannot keep up with who the bad people are this year. I need a full list of the good and the bad guys as I seem incapable of realising who's who!!!

I don't blame John Sargeant for Tom being bottom of the leaderboard but I would have liked a three person final. Enjoy tonight because this is as good as it gets.

If John hadn't been criticised so much for attempting to entertain the viewing public then perhaps he wouldn't have felt like he did and walked from the show. I bet the judges and contestants are kicking themselves now for being so mean to John!

Not correct.

He always thought he would be out earlier so he could go on his cruse where he was a speaker.

The programme has to realise that public support can sway things away from what they think might happen.

So we would have four couples in the final! Might have been a tad rushed.

.....eh?

But not the BBC's fault for not doing this week he left.

I blame Anton but only because he makes some stupid show about going through holes which is possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on telly.

If he had been there tonight none of this would have happened.

I blame Tony Blair.

It's Claudia's fault.

Don't start that rubbish again. The cruise liner issued a statement saying saying they were happy to postpone or have Kristina on board and fly them back for the Saturday.

This total balls up is down to the BBC and so was him leaving.

Exactly well said wiz net, it is now January 2009, and that red herring, is still being used now, it is extraordinary, and when you pull people up on it they say, Oh! move on.
