no doubt the judges will jump all over this as a way of marking Laila down again. They did much the same to Tufnell by claiming he didn't train hard enough when he had prior commitments.
Yet, conversely, Natalie receives only encouragement and congrats for giving it her all every week and can do no wrong.
The way Nat has been judged this series, and consistently over-marked, they may as well have introduced a handicapping system.
Imagine what they would have said to Laila if she'd done a samba as lamentable as Natalie's last week - she would have been slaughtered. Instead, Alesha tells her she lit up the dancefloor and gives her an 8 f.f.s..
Rather than tip-toeing around being critical of her, how about being honest for once, and why isn't Craig RH as bitchy towards her as he is to others? I'd start by suggesting someone needs to put a padlock on her fridge.
