Why should she bow out, just because others are better than her?
That's ridiculous! That's like saying you can only enter if you are very good. At what point should the poor skaters (or dancers, as with Sargent) bow out? They might as well pack it in at the beginning - "I'll leave now, 'cus I'm not very good, and it's not fair to the others"
So what would be the point of them being there at all? You wouldn't see anyone improve, like Donal.
Also, what sort of message would that send to young people? My 8 year old loves it, and I'd hate her to think that you can give up if you don't think you're as good as the others.
If you want a competition among skaters who are all a similar standard, then watch a real contest.
This is a celeb thing to make money and the public will always vote for the people they like.
For example, I, know that Ray is a great skater, but I can't bl00dy stand him and will always vote against him!
So there! (feel better now)
