Last week Don Warrington, and Heather Small were in the bottom two and faced a dance off. They are both Black. Does this seriously constitute as racist??
Don Warrington, was an awful dancer. Fact. This actually really annoyed me, not because I hold any sentiments for him, (I don't actually even know who he is) but because I love Lillia.
In my opinion, she is by far the best dancer/choreographer on the show. The judges clearly agree with me too, every other word is about her wonderful, imaginative choreography.
She also has a gorgeous figure and does not look half starved like some of the other professionals on the show.
But her skill does not change the fact that Don could not dance- the judges only gave them 23 points.
Granted it was not the lowest score given that evening, but it was hardly a good one.
And yes there were white contestants that had lower scores that were saved by the public vote, but honestly, who WOULDN'T vote for John Sergeant?
Furthermore, if the show is so racist, then how did Alesha Dixon win last year??
It's not just talent
The show is about dancing talent, but it is also about appeal and likability. The stars need to capture the audiences hearts and if you're a B Lister with limited interpersonal skills it's likely that you'll be booted off quickly.
It is just as Erin Boag says
"John Sergeant was the under dog. Andrew is in GMTV, Mark Foster-he got his chest out. It just happened to be Heather and Don in the bottom".
That's exactly it. It just happened.
Strictly is a show where you vote for people to stay IN. Not too boot them out in a racist frenzy.
Strictly Common Sense please people.
