Now most will know that I am a Mark and Karen fan, and really don't give a rats arse about any of the other couples. For all I care Mark and Karen could come onto the dance floor in a drunken stupor, dressed in their pyjamas and dance the congo (badly) and they would still get my votes.
So I was rather alarmed, when on the results show last Saturday, Emma managed to elicit a modicum of sympathy from me. Down to the final three pairs with the camera on Emma/Darren (and Mark and Karen still at risk), I found myself thinking how forlorn, delicate and worried she looked. With her gazing downwards and sighing heavily, I felt like giving her a big hug to comfort her.
Of course, this momentary weakness soon passed as the next names to be announced were Mark and Karen.
In order to ensure that I do not succumb to such moments of madness again, I am reminding myself that Craig gave Mark a 5 and Emma a 7 last weak. And besides, Craig has climbed so far up Emma's arse, I half expect when she next opens her mouth, for Craig to step out.
