Gee, sounds like the same plot on American Idol. Remember Sunjaya? He was awful, but the public kept him on much to the dismay of Randy and Simon!

Looks like a Sanjaya Malakar will pop up on viewer-dependent shows like these every once in a while. Some guys you just can't get voted off.

(I did watch Sanjaya when he was on "American Idol", and could see his appeal.)

It's about time that "Dancing With the Stars" and "Strictly Come Dancing" revamp their voting systems. Personally, I am quite impressed with John Sergeant. He understands that the show is about the best dancers, not the personality. It might be best if there was no public voting, but that would take a lot of the fun out it for viewers. My suggestion would be for the Judge's scores to count more, and the public would get only one vote each.

I am glad he has quit, strictly come dancing is about dancing and he is absolutely rubbish, how people have been voting for him is madness, yes it is about who you enjoy watching but at the end of the day is about decent dancing and there has been far better than him that have already gone which was totally wrong, so I am sure not all the public wanted him to stay, it was proberly all his polictical mates etc that voted time and time again which they can afford to do thats why he managed to stay in time after time.

I agree with Frances in Idaho. Warren Sapp should have been voted off last night, not the young man that worked so hard and put everything into his performances. I was very disappointed in the results last night.

Why are the press not making more of the fact that John Sergeant has a contract to appear elsewhere and staying in the show, even at the public's request, would put that in jeopardy? Could it be the media are protecting one of there own? Did JS book the extra work knowing that he would never get this far and didn't expect to win the public sympathy vote?
