Pop dream is over for Rik
Pop Idol's heavyweight hero Rik Waller today pulled out of the TV competition after he was told he risked causing permanent damage to his vocal cords.
In a bizarre twist, the withdrawl of 20-stone Waller, 20, has given Popstars dropout Darius Danesh a last-minute reprieve.
Rik had been suffering from the flu for a couple of weeks but had been battling on.
Today, Rik's father Kris, 52, said: "To say he is devastated is an understatement."
I think they all just feel sorry for him.
So another wannabe crashes out and ends up serving food.
Big deal, join the heap.
"Theres a lot of love in this room" my a**e. Only thing in this room is detestement of your sickly muppet ways you greasy little urchin!
Is this not harsh?
> I reckon ITV are forcing him out of the competetion. Its crap that he's lost his
> voice, no way.
Just cos there's been a massive email campaign for him to win
> they have decided to get rid of him to save 'pop idol'.
Trust me.
Oh
> yeah the guy with the lisp will win.
Is Pop-Idol still going? Thats another boat I missed :)
Given that it is Fat Bloke speaking out I dont think this is an ITV move... or another 'vote for me because I'm pathetic' plea from fat blokes camp
Unless its just another advetising thing (I remember when his Dad was on the news about the e-mail thing)
I suspect the fat blighter will provide a surprise presto-chango voice recovery and win the compo...
'Hes done so well, despite having a bit of a cough... what a hero'
Just cos there's been a massive email campaign for him to win they have decided to get rid of him to save 'pop idol'.
Trust me.
Oh yeah the guy with the lisp will win.
So Rik'll be back next week...well, he wouldn't of been voted out anyway.
YAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Someone said something about Gareth's stutter. It does dissapear when you sing. I have heard other people that stutter sing, they loose it when they sing. Saying everyone vote's for Gareth beacause of the stutter is the same as voting for Rik 'cos he is fat. I dont think people were persuaded to vote for Gareth because of his stutter. Thats why he got 62% of votes. No one else got anywhere near that.
