That's not the point. The point is that Zoe was last week, she was supposed to be commenting on his dance this week, not whining about having to make a difficult choice last week and throwing a tantrum at him over it.

She should have confined herself to commenting on his dance, what she actually did was petulant, childish and just plain rude.

Have you made the same comment about Craig, Bruno, Len, when they have made similar comments - as they all did about John Seargent, Fiona Phillips, Kate whathername, etc? Well? Or is it just Alesha that hasn't got the right to say what she thinks? Double, no, Triple Standards, yes.

I thought she was spot on. The fact that Craig thought he was so good was laughable

Surely it's an unwritten rule that each week, every contestant starts with a clean slate. Never can I recall any judge harking back to the results of a previous week. She then added insult to injury with her patronising and hypocritical "you've been very sweet my love."

Go back to singing my love.”

Really - so how do you explain last week's comment to Chris & Ola that they were back to where they were in week 1?

He was given a chance by the public last week to shine at the expense of someone much better than him. He didn't seize the opportunity - he got worse.

The irony being of course that these posts are far bitchier than anything she said...

It's what we understood her role to be.

She's not qualified for much else.

Well i didnt mind her tbh. I stuck up for her when she was getting all that stick and people were basically kicking her to the ground.

Always thought she was a lovely person, well what i have seen of her but after that comment ''i had to endure that'' i am not so sure. Sounded so nasty, especially when you watch it again. He was shite but no need for that, come on. I mean, even Bruno felt it, thats why he said ''Craig my darling'' or something like that, when it was his turn.

Spot on in my opinion, Craig should have gone weeks ago and robbed a better dancer of a place at Blackpool...Go Alesha

Nope, I thought she was right on, and it is no different from what a lot of us have been saying on here all week....!

Not so much harsh - more cruel and vindicative.

Totally and completely unprofessional, and in my opinion, just plain nasty. I was quite sickened by it actually.

I totally agree with you. The other judges were critical of the dance, but that is what the judges are supposed to do. That was a horrible comment to make and, much as I agree that it was Craig's time to go, and that Zoe was a better dancer, it is not right to blame him for being there due to the public vote.

Yes, I don't think the judges have the right to make rude or personal comments about anyone.

Constructive criticism yes, that's what they're there for, not to throw a tantrum at someone just because they've got the public vote and are still there.

and me. I am really disappointed because I really liked her but I went off her tonight and then to try and be nice to Craig was sickening.

She let her feelings run away with her and I hope somebody will have a word in her ear about what is acceptable.

No, for giving an honest opinion - an opinion that, I would guess, at least 90% of viewers agreed with including me. Zoe should never have gone over someone like him.

I thought it was disgraceful. Craig didn't vote Zoe out last week, she just sounded plain nasty.

Get rid of her and get Karen Hardy in.

No, Craig just could not see that he wasn't a dancer, something had to be made to be fair

Neither poster is being paid to give their opinion, and neither has any obligation to pretend to be impartial.

She's hardly the first judge to deliver a bitchy comment...but it came over as a bit more of a personal attack...intentional or not.

So people, will I keep a note of those who criticise Alesha this week for her comments, but do not do so when any of the other three give equally honest, if not desired, opinions in the future?

It was no worse than CRH's 'Kangaroo' comment only more cutting...and I totally agreed with every word IMO she is getting better as a judge
