The treatment both of them got was bad imo some of it came from within.

Last year and the year before SCD-O had his Anti-Fan-Warz Thread, where the rule was that anyone could say anything about the contestants, their dances or on how they were presenting as a character through the filter of the programme. The Anti Fan-Warz part was that fans weren't then allowed to argue back or defend or re-attack another contestant. And it worked. I didn't see a single argument break out on that thread though honest views were given.

I know he's not here these days but we could try the thread idea...

Almost certainly going to be correct.

This is very true, I didn't understand it either.

Haven't you read about Ola and the spiteful comments about her being a bully and how Steve has supposedly complained to a producer of SCD about her behaviour during rehearsals?? It has started already and I agree with the other poster, it has nothing to do with the celebs or pro dancers but the producers wanting to keep the whole SCD programme in the headlines, day after day, until the final.
