I don't understand whats going on with people saying Emma isn't doing enough training, the only reason they only had 12 hours training was because she was doing the video and rehearsal for children in need and that's what strictly come dancing is on for

I also haven't got the vibe that she thinks that she is coasting through, I haven't got that from any of the celebs like I did last year.

It did irritate me a bit when Bruna admitted on ITT that he marked Emma higher because the other judges marked her so low and she would have been bottom, I think that will cause the same problems Zoe had last year.

I will also always defend them. They don't deserve all the criticism they have been getting. They are just fantastic and Emma just has a natural rhythm thats why she is fab, you all just keep going on about her spice girl days whatever that was over years ago

As I said in my post, criticisms are more than welcome, and there are loads of threads where they can be voiced but this is clearly from the title supposed to be one in support of Emma - a sanctuary if you will from the other many threads. I would have thought from the title itself that anyone who doesn't like/wants to criticise Emma would not want to come into the forum unless they just want to drag up the same criticisms which we can discuss in an adult way in any number of the other threads.

Yep, all her critics just need to get over it ASAP because its starting to get really old and really boring really quickly lets be honest!

No the only thread I consider a love in for Emma is the Emma and Darren thread which I neither read or go in.

Maybe the original comment to gee up Emma supporters would have been better off in that thread then no one would have bothered commenting on it.

This thread only took my interest because people who don't like Emma being 'bashed' were more than happy to start 'bashing' Karen

That's my feelings too.
I have no problems with fans of couples having a thread where they go to be with each other - but surely one dedicated 'pro' thread for a couple is enough!

I'm not a fan of any particular couple so I don't venture in the fan threads - but if I want to comment in another thread then surely that's not asking too much?

I think one fan thread per couple is enough too but there are a few for Carol and Matthew for instance, and I think this one was started as a reaction to the criticisms Emma has come under. I understand if you guys don't go into fan threads, but looking at the title of this thread, it is clearly intended for Emma fans. Also, just to say, that I have not bashed Karen (or anyone else as far as I'm aware), and if Karen-bashing is becoming a new phenomenom then I can't approve of that either.

I have only seen one or two posters who are "Karen-bashers" and also support Emma. I think saying all Emma supporters are "Karen-bashers" is a gross generalisation.

And I do really hate the term basher, reminds me of a dwarf.

hehe, shappy!

Just here to say I support Emma again :P
