I have nothing against you personally, but I fear you're letting your own bias show here. If you are one of those people who make claims without being able to produce the evidence for those claims, I'm afraid I must (dis)regard you as a sloppy and prejudiced thinker.
Absolutely 'word', imo.

The so-called evidence for people saying Alesha is biased and didn't like Craig personally is her saying is dancing was awful.

Seems rather a leap to me!

Now, if she'd said 'you're a tw*t and I hate your face', you might have had an argument...

I would just like to point out I did say in another post that Arlene would be proud of Alesha for saying what she said to Craig. Looks like I was right.

Arlene would have never said that on the show, not enough alliteration there
Okay - how about

'Dithering, doddering, diabolical, deluded donkey dancing dis-ar-ster'?

Not only does she call him a donkey.... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...ol-donkey.html she also agree with Alesha on his arrogance!
I wonder if everyone would be baying for her blood like they are Aleshas had she had been the one calling him deluded.
Who cares what Arlene thinks? She isn't a judge any more, so she doesn't matter. It's a good thing too, Arlene was awful as a judge.

In fact, I think it's probably because of comments like that last year that she's reduced to bitching in a red top now. Hopefully, next year, Alesha will have come to a similar fate and we'll have someone new who can give a knowledgeable constructive critique without getting personal about it.

To which Craig would have answered, 'Ey, I reckon I'm in here, lads. She really likes me.'

So her comments about Craig being a donkey is justifiable because she 'has the relevant experience'?

This is getting more and more ridiculous...

You made me chuckle. I thought for a minute you meant "experience" (as a donkey)

I agree though, its all getting pretty ridiculous and one begins to wonder the real agenda behind the OTT reaction to AD's comments.

Hmmm...the reaction is perhaps over the top yes, but the issue for me wasn't necessarily what she said but the way she said it, it seemed almost on the verge of a tantrum. My respect for her has cooled a great deal.

My respect for Arlene went out the window last year too so I don't really feel I'm treating either any differently.

Very probably.

The judges are human. I don't know how long I could have lasted without saying that to Craig. It was even obvious with Flavia that she knew he was rubbish.
