Fine, you don't like their dancing. I have no problem with that. But you have no idea what kind of relationship he has with any of his partners.”
I do apologise if you took my thoughts/opinions as FACTS - all I can base my opinions on is what I see on the TV, as I suspect do the vast majority of the voting audience.
I see Artem + Natalie on ITT, with Artem rarely if ever looking at her - even facing away from her.
I see Natalie collapsing with exhaustion and reducing her training days.
I see Natalie at the results show each week not looking worried about being in the dance off - may just be by MY perception/opinion, but that's the way
I see it.
With the exception of Fern Britton last year, who Artem actually treated more like a celerity learning to dance than a student to be moulded into a pro, I've not seen any closeness or connection between him and his partners.
No doubting their dances are technically good - but I much preferred watching Deborah + Robin, Susannah + Kevin, Mark + Ivetta Lukapoopoo because they (in my opinon) exude(d) more enjoyment and pleasure at dancing than Natalie + Artem do.
