John sweeps Kristina off her feet

Strictly Come Dancing: Put On Your Dancing Shoes

Vote for John! Vote for John! Vote for John!

Sunday, 9 November 2008

On The X Factor the fact viewers don't vote for talent makes my blood boil. However, over on BBC1 I would urge you to do the opposite when watching Strictly Come Dancing. I LOVE John Sergeant and beg you to forget the fact that he is clearly rubbish at dancing and vote for him because he is lovely and cheeky and his partner Kristina is a fox! He isn’t going to win, but I would love to keep his cheeky smile in the competition for a little bit longer.

I know they claim Strictly is a talent show, but because it's one with celebrities rather than normal people 'living their dreams ©Simon Cowell 2006' it also means the usual talent rules don't apply until at least round six and usually the most talented win anyway.

Apart from John I don’t really have a favourite this year. I think Tom Chambers is v good and I’m a fan of his partner Camilla, so I’d like them to do well. However, at the same time I think Lisa Snowden is great and Brendan has cut back on the sleaze. Also I’ve met Lisa Snowden on numerous occasions and she is possibly the loveliest celebrity ever. It annoys me when people say that all she talks about is how she dated George Clooney. Firstly, she can’t win because if she didn’t answer questions about him in interviews people would moan that she was too secretive, then they still moan when she does. Secondly, if I had dated George Clooney I would be shouting it from the rooftops and any woman or gay man who says they wouldn't is a liar.

All the others are very good dancers, so it’s a toughie this year. I think Austin may still do it, but the fact he dropped down the leader board and Rachel Stevens [who is also lovely, but possibly the most boring person I have ever spoken to] also found herself in the bottom two despite putting in a good performance, shows it's still anyone’s game. How exciting!

PS: Heather Small got kicked out, but then again we all saw that coming now didn't we?

PPS: May I give special mention to my friend's facebook status on Saturday night which read: 'Mandy is witnessing The Jam's Town Called
Malice being used as music for the Paso Doble on Strictly Come Dancing,
and doesn't know whether to laugh or cry'
and point out that last series they did a wonderful dance routine to the White Stripe's Seven Nation Army. Inspired!

Until we reach the final 4 I'll be voting for John for several reasons : Until that point we are only voting off celebrities who would leave one week later anyway; the judges need to stop abusing the voting public and get over themselves; my family thinks John dances like me and they don't let me on the dancefloor at all; he is my namesake and lastly, I'm virtuosly overcoming my jealousy of John for dancing with Kristina the lucky dog!

John Sergeant has had a good run, but it's time for him to go now. While he has been doing well, his cha cha was a joke and it's not fair that good dancers are getting knocked out so that he can stomp around for another week. It's time to vote for dancing.

You don't have to try hard to persuade me! John is soooo funny, and his partner is soooo nice. Did you see the shock on Christina's face when they were named as being the first couple through???? They're great and I'd love to see them get right to the end. After all, the contest is for CHILDREN IN NEED so we all need to keep voting and we all need to see some lightheartedness in the contest. so COME ON , VOTE FOR JOHN!
