I think the whole point of their post is that you can't tell!

Dogs are good at it. They have the most uncanny sheer communication ability on this planet. Dolphins are rubbish by comparison.*
I'm guessing emotion doesn't have a look as such. It's a feeling. A combination. It's the amygdala. Involuntary acceptance of another being's separateness -- and also closeness -- to yourself. Responsiveness to emotion is a blessing. Especially responsiveness to the emotion of others.
As I said -- dogs

What do you suppose they were talking about?

Still not a reason to lump everyone who ever said anything negative as being " in a dark place "
Its an unnecessary remark in my opinion

I imagine it was all that corny, stand up on the key change, you lift me up nonsense. But, like, heartfelt...

PMSL.
I find it interesting how people react to different personalities.
Ore is a sports reporter with a sports background, so he 'talks up' in a sport sort of a way. So did Claudia, and Greg.
Danny and Louise, from 'show' backgrounds, take the 'humble' route ' I work so hard', ' little ole me getting through' etc.
It's just a sort of style.
But then Ore is emotional. For some that isn't consistent with other sides of his personality, and yet that's just 'putting people in a box'.
I think Ore is completely sincere, he's both competitive,masculine AND emotional - both determined and nervous.
I also think he has great charm and charisma on the dancefloor.
Some people just don't seem to be able to cope with a bit of complexity.
Also I think it's a bit odd that Louise gets slated on here for being 'beige', and 'twimsy' etc. When I can't see that Danny has any sort of exciting personality either.
For me he's a nice enough chap, but never says anything particularly interesting, he doesn't seem to be particularly witty or sexy or quirky in ANY way either. If Louise is 'beige' then so is he.
Both of them are nice enough though.

I think he tries very hard not to.

Quite gives one the feeling that some posters are emotionally stunted, wouldn't you say?

1) served some years on this planet ✔️Yes, too many
2) as a living, breathing human being, ✔️Yes, just checked my pulse
3) surrounded by other human beings, with a circle of friends, ❓I'm on Facebook Dervla surrounded by lots of virtual friends. Does that count? Oh you mean actual contact with real people! 🤔
4) experience of human nature in a few of its varieties? ❓I guess reading some posts on DS doesn't count then?
It's incredible how many mind-readers we have on this forum. It really is some talent to have.
I think you've made some excellent points here. I can't help but wonder if a lot of the people criticising Ore and Louise are Danny fans who are trying to say whatever they can to discredit them so that Danny wins. Just a feeling I have. I can imagine the uproar on here if Ore or Louise win.

Maybe David Attenbourough should base a new series around Ore....what series name would he give it I wonder? Could he be a solution to the crop shortage in very hot countries....?
'the crying game' ?
'ninth wonder of the world'?

his favourite group is Tears for Fears. He was hoping they were going to sing in the final but rumour has it they had to cry off

Oh pleeeease *rolls her eyes*

Being nervous is a normal reaction but I'm sure he's exaggerating just a wee bit.”

How do you possibly know how he feels? The most talented people in the world have issues (just look at robin williams). You really couldn't know how nerves/anxiety affect him and you nor I or anyone else are in a position to judge him or any of the others on this subject!
