Ever since the Celebrity lineup was announced for this season's Strictly Come Dancing, John Sergeant has been one of the rank outsiders. He first opened up at 80-1 with the Bookies, then after a competent performance in week 1 moved in to 50-1, but this week has since drifted out to 66-1 despite escaping the bottom two in the opener.
His performance shown above, courtesy of the BBC and YouTube with new dance partner, Kristina Rhianoff, was a good first week opener where the older celebrities have a history of going out early.
It looks as if John's odds will continue to fluctuate between 50-1 and about 80-1, but I'm hoping he goes a lot further than expected. He will be good at the slow waltzes and other classic ballroom dances, but anything a bit quicker could be a problem. The public always vote well for amusing performances or spirited efforts despite the odds and difficulties so this could well play into his favour. Get voting for John !!! :)
Gillian Taylfoth is still favourite to go out first in the women's section on Monday. She is reportedly carrying an injury. Will this win her a few extra votes... most probably.
