Do you just sometimes wish people wouldnt inadvertantly play the sympathy vote..

its a tough call -watching Johnson VC in DOI and he is struggling BUT when do you stop patronising someone because of their ailments? The judges were booed but he isnt up to scratch (although i think they try to fix it)

I dont think people are voting with their heads with him -its heartfelt.I would hate that personly and im sure he would

He is a magnificent man and I salute him and would bow in his presence and I ould -no qualms.....I wouldnt ever patronise the man though......

you got it in 1 there dris why was heather mills on the show last year????...its just a way of boosting the ratings for a poor show...you might as well put people with no arms on come dine with me....

He's not getting votes because of his "ailments" he's getting votes because he's a war hero. He's fought for his country and saved his comrades lives and if he wants to win a dance competition I say let him.

Agree with Dris.

Frances, agree with your sentiments, he IS a war hero, but a skater he isnt! His skating is terrible, everyone can see that. Good on him, he's plugging away at it, despite the problems (memory loss) he still suffers from, but there has to come a time during the competition when they'll have to vote him off as technically he's nowhere near as good as say Laura, Jennifer or Sam.

He may be a decorated war hero but is he a celebrity?

Frances -if you read my OP you wouldnt have posted as you did.
Im guilty at times of skiming so dont worry -glad the rest got my gist.
