English Opinion

Yet another TV reality show came to an end for the year tonight, leaving me with nothing to watch on a Saturday night! You may think I have no life but I just love watching entertainment shows with a little something different! Between X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing I have been able to forget financial worries for a few hours every Saturday evening when we can’t afford to go out. I really enjoyed tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing final and was pleased when it was announced that Tom Chambers and Camilla Delarup won.

Tom and Camilla beat Rachel Stevens and Vincent Simone into second place and Lisa Snowdon and Brendan Cole into third. So Tom Chambers wasn’t the best dancer in the show but he was always entertaining and his final showdance was amazing.

No doubt though this will not be the end of the news related to it and the tabloids will do everything but congratulate Tom Chambers and Camilla Delarup for their victory.

This week’s news has been rife with rumours of a conspiracy following the decision last week to put all three couples through to the final in Strictly Come Dancing. Although there was always supposed to be three couples, the format was thrown into turmoil when John Sergeant pulled out of the competition. To be completely honest, I was one of the people that just wanted him to get voted off and so was happy about his decision to leave but was happy when all three couples got through to the final because having two there wouldn’t have been as entertaining. However, it was supposed that Tom Chambers would have been voted off had one couple gone last week and so should not have won it tonight… conspiracy!!!

There is no conspiracy at all. The vote from last week was carried over. The BBC realised it would have been less entertaining with two couples… especially as both Lisa and Rachel had been in the bottom two more than once whereas Tom never had. As such, it should come as no surprise that he won it fairly. The tabloids mad a mountain out a Strictly Come Dancing molehill last week and no doubt will do the same again this week but I just want to ask one question before they do…

Who cares?

Those people that complained about the whole John Sergeant thing, the Strictly Come Dancing show last week and no doubt will again now need to get a life. Have they not got anything else to complain about like the rising unemployment, Cholera in Zimbabwe, the Baby P case, flooding in rural areas, rising numbers of repossesions, gun crime etc etc etc? There are bigger things in this world to complain about than a reality TV show that has been designed to raise money for Children In Need!
