I will tell 'my person' to tell Lauren that this thread exists but I don't want her to come and read as she might see some other stuff elsewhere!!”
Aha yes it was you Eleven

did you go to the show then? I'm glad she wasn't bottom of the votes as well. Someone speculated it might have been her in the spoiler, but glad it wasn't true.
Nice how you've got 'a person'
Thing is, and what I think is the problem and what frustrates me, is that a lot of what we see tends to be a production manipulation - VT's edited specifically. So for people to make sweeping judgements on the girls, particularly negative ones, is really wrong. I know we probably all do it a little bit, but of this whole series there hasn't been any girl I've personally
disliked and I find it astonishing that there is a lot of vitriol around. DS is well known for that though...
I know I'm preaching to the converted and know I don't need to be, but I bet if you spent 10mins in the company of Lauren (and indeed any of the girls), you'd see they're all lovely and the fact they manage to perform multiple songs each week regardless of when it might be a bit off key or lacking some emotional colouring or the dance steps might not be quite right, we really need to remember just how much work and guts it takes to do that every week.
Blah, massive long sentence there, but just wanted to get that out.
