Completely agree.
If only they would show the same level of reluctance to criticise with Anita as they do with Peter (or at least nit-pick others in the same way - at least theres a level playing field). For some reason, picking flaws and highlighting negatives seems to come far more naturally to the judges when they're doing it with Anita.....yet with Peter, it seems to be such a sad and torturous thing for them to do! (to the point where they seem apologetic for any criticisms they have of him, despite them not being nearly as insulting as the ones they dish out to other celebs!)
The judges are only human, and I can expect the odd hiccup and inconsistency (given the fact they have no time to prepare or view the dance again before they give their opinion/scores). But its now week 6.....and when I compare Anitas 6 dances to Peters....and then compare 6 weeks worth of comments and marks, I do think Anita has been treated harshly.
