I was someone who criticised Emma last week for her Foxtrot which I thought was very overmarked, so I thought as I'd given her criticism where I felt it was due, that I would come in here and give her some praise where due. I think she did really well tonight, deserved her marks and it was a great routine!

That's very fair. I would like to think I and many others on the forum would do the same when they have criticised others too!

Thank you! I like people who are fair with good and bad criticism. I thought that they're dance was fanatsic!

I thought there routine was amazing and thank you to Erinfan for giving praise when praise is due

Absolutely brilliant

I loved it too! Thanks for being honest, Erinfan... there's very many people here who hate Darren and Emma no matter what... oh well, there's nothing we can do but defend them the best we can!

Hate

Havent seen hate mentioned

I wouldn't defend them if they're not good. If they are good then they are good and deserve to be praised. Emma has done a good job tonight and that need to be recognised, this is reflected in the mark. I do think Peter and Carol are being undermarked, especially with the comments they received from the judges and the professional commentator. This is also fact and need to be recognised. Afterall, what everybody want is a relatively fair competition.
