Nigel has quit
 

He survived a rib injury which left him unable to complete and has now withdrawn, all couples will still dance tonight but elimination cancelled

Oh, no.

God they are dropping like flies....tbh he was never going to win...more chance of Nella getting kicked out first.

….shhhhh, but this is the Strictly section…it’s Nigel Harman who has quit apparently…:laugh:…

Not me thinking this was the ukip guy. I was so devastated for a second

Krap


I was hoping Farage was now Mirage ..

Gutted

:laugh:....sorry. In that case I am gutted but like Farage I dont think he was going to win but I really liked him and he has just got better and better...

lmao No more dancing for you, Farage.

:joker:

Sad for him, overrated as all hell though

Gutted at this news.

Oh no. I was really looking forward to his Charleston. That's really upsetting.

no elimination then this week hopefully

Yes,
he seemed so fit.

That's a big shame.
Good that he's okay.

He'll be a miss.

That's a big shame.
Good that he's okay.

He'll be a miss.

Code for he was topping the vote and the production didn't want him to win.:laugh:

I think this as well.

It's too blatant imo.

It reminds me of the John Sargent year where he was the most popular with the public.

Or it means what it actually means, he’s injured and can’t perform

I nearly sh!t myself then. I thought this was about our Nigel in the jungle when I saw the thread title.

Not you lot thinking it's Nigel Farage.
I've been upset and that's given me a good laugh :laugh3:

I don't know. He's already injured himself on week 2. And this time it sounds serious. Hope he's ok.

Do you not get ITV in the Netherlands, Nicky?

Such a shame you have to miss "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" You'd love it.

There's no way this is anything other than an injury. Sorry folks, no conspiracy theories....:laugh:

There's more chance of a Nigerian Prince.

He was also injured on week 2, but this time it must be more serious.

Not everything is a massive conspiracy, give your mind a rest

Is it a conspiracy theory at this point?:laugh:

It's quite clear imo that the Show has had to pull a John Sargent move because they feel like Nigel potentially winning might harm the Show in some way.

In the grand scheme of things it's just a Celebrity Dancing Show so it's not a big deal, but imo I think there's been a mutual agreement for Nigel to leave, after all I doubt that Nigel is going to care either way.

When it's to do with Reality TV, they will pull any stunt to get the result that they want.

The three most corrupt things in this world are Reality TV, Politics and Sports, all three industries have pulled unbelievable farces in the past that were way more outlandish than Nigel's situation, especially considering this is the same Show that had to get John Sargent out because he was really popular with the public in his series.

Basically it's not a stretch to see this as something just a tiny bit dodgy.

It's sad Nigel has left i liked him

That follow-up sentence makes no sense.

I really don’t think that’s it, Mock. You can’t dance if you’ve twisted your rib and that’s pretty much all it is with Harman.

I'm arguing that did he really twist his rib?

And yes I know that I'm sounding like Alf with the conspiracy theories, but it's a Reality TV Show at the end of the day, and they all do some engineering to get a desired outcome.

Because imo all they have to do now is get Annabel out by putting her bottom of the leaderboard, one of Layton or Bobby top of the leaderboard (presumably Layton) and then place Ellie 2nd on the leaderboard (knowing that Annabel can't beat Ellie by two places) and bam! Annabel is in the bottom two with Bobby and gets eliminated.

Thus making one of the most boring Strictly finals of all time as Ellie will be the only finalist with a big fanbase, kind of similar to when Josie won BB11.

If I end up being wrong on any of this then I'll own it, but I suspect that I am pretty damn close to seeing through the production on Strictly this year.

You’re entitled your opinion but to me there’s no conspiracy theory about this, I can’t lie.

Fair enough.

Tbh the only way evidence will 100% come my way is when the production pits Annabel against Bobby next week and eliminates her from the competition.

So I'll let them do the talking, after all Annabel isn't my personal favourite, but Nigel's elimination makes it tricky for Annabel to make the final.

In the meantime I’m going to just have to wish Nigel Harman a speedy recovery. I personally don’t have any reason to doubt that he is genuinely injured and when that’s the case you want to get better as much as people want you to be able to finish what you started or pick up from where you left off on the pitch. Or wherever.

Look if he is genuinely injured then I do apologize.

I can't help but be skeptical though, especially if I am right on who the finalists will end up being.

He sounded like anyone tranqued up on painkillers would, Mock. I know you don’t mean any harm but this isn’t the time for conspiracy theory. They wouldn’t have him on tramadol just to boot him out so that someone else could win.
