Ann: "I'm Not Going To Quit"
Ann Widdecombe will not be quitting Strictly like John Sargent.
She told The Mirror: "I won't take a leaf out of John Sergeant's book and quit. It would be a slap in the face of the public and terribly rude. No one but the public decides who stays and goes. The BBC doesn't, the judges don't, those are the rules. I'm not going to quit - as long as the public want me there I'll stay - when they don't, I'll go."
Ann is absolutely right to continue on. John Sergeant as a coward for quitting. While I think Ann's time should be up, by the rules of the competition she has as much right to be there as anyone else. She has a duty to those who have invested in her by voting for her to stay in the competition and give them the entertainment they are paying for.
Like Craig, I believe that in the end sensibility will prevail. I don't think the British public would let Ann win over Scott, Matt, Kara or Pamela. Even when 'wildcards' make it to the final - like Christopher Parker - they do not win.
Hopefully Jimi's shock exit will know some sense into the voting viewers and they'll start voting for the best dancers. Trouble is, at the moment, those voting for the dancing are split in the four ways I've mentioned. Those voting for the underdog are all voting for Ann (OK, and maybe a few for Gavin).
