I want to check if I'm over-reacting. Always possible. I take things wrongly sometimes.
Did Craig go too far with that comment to Johnny? It seemed to me cruel useless advice. In the same moment he showed disrespect to Johnny Ball and to people who have neurological impairments -- the folk who jerk around and can't control it.
SCD is supposed to be a supportive, happy environment. It's supposed to be what Iveta said the other dancers had made her feel -- a warm and welcoming world. I thought she was lovely by the way. The new girl did more to mend that harm than anyone.
I suppose it's not the first time we've had a small-minded, small-brained, heartless comment from Craig. Hes been praised for wit too often. He's forgotten how to be decent. I do like the guy and enjoy him on the show but this was shameful.

In ordinary life, yes, what you say is right and it might be useful or necessary to know if someone has some kind of neurological impairment; and warm and disarming to ask directly instead of just wondering. But that's not the case here. Craig knows (as far as any of us can tell) that Johnny's awkwardness comes from being 74, not overly limber, and short on practice. So IMO it comes out differently when he says it. He wasn't diagnosing him, he was using a disability as an insult. It's just wrong.
