If that were the case you would think I would have jumped on this thread as an opportunity to say it's all Kristina's fault her partners don't do well. If you look on the first page you'll see I disagreed with that view, and also said although I don't think she is right for the show she should get a decent partner if she is asked back. Conversely I said I thought her choreo for Goldie in week one was naff- which is a fairly widely held view- and that I don't think Mark's success on tour is indicative of her popularity- which seems fairly logical to me, and I'm not the only person who has said so on this thread.
I do dislike Kristina. I don't pretend it is based on personal knowledge of her- I don't enjoy her dancing although I'm aware she is highly regarded in the dance world, and I don't enjoy her on screen persona. I don't need to know her background to have those opinions.
I wouldn't dream of criticising Kristina on an appreciation thread, but this is a discussion thread. It's acceptable for people who don't like Kristina to post on here. It is also clear that my post is my opinion only- through words like 'I think', 'in my opinion'. I haven't tried to pass it off as fact.
