I don't know. Certainly it's about entertainment value, but there's only so many times you can watch someone butcher a dance and have it be entertaining. I prefer the entertainment of watching someone who isn't normally a dancer actually going on to dance *well*. For instance, Tom's quickstep and Austin's paso doble gave me far more entertainment value than watching John. He's a nice fellow and all, but I think this was the right decision.

he bottled it. typical journalist, spends a lifetime criticising others, but cant take a bit of crit himself from the judges and fellow contestants, despite public backing.
he now does some p*ss poor topical comedy panel show on a freeview channel which is just a copy of every other one. he now joins the ever growing ranks to make a living out of being z list celebs. its like an industry sector in itself. condemned to do talking heads on nostalgia clip shows on minor channels for eternity.

why have a public phone vote, if you dont like the way the public votes? the show wants the massive revenue from the phone vote, but wants to brush aside the public's opinion. ultimately who pays the judges wages? the public does. they already brought 50% vote for the judges and thats still not enough for their egos. without the likes of sargent this series would not be as popular, as most of the celebs lack humour and personality, they are just driven by ego to win and come across as false.
