The issue of 'people power' disagreeing with the expert panel isn't new, but this may bring it to a head. I read somewhere that they may be considering introducing a new rule whereby if the judges put you bottom of the table three weeks in a row, you're out.
As fans of the show, Mrs B and I were saddened by the news John was pulling out. It won't be as much fun without him and the show is about entertainment as well as dancing. I think it's a shame for his professional partner Kristina - she has done such a terrific job with John and seems to be a very caring person - but equally John had received some horrible comments from the judges, and in his place I'd be fed up by now. Judges should always give the sort of feedback that tells contestants how they can improve.
