There is a way of telling things truthfully without being hurtful. I think Brendan may be quite fiery in his temper and perhaps he expects too much from Kelly, who, at the end of the day, is still a beginner.

Then again, I am not saying this in defence of Kelly. She better perform her dance well next week or she would regret that she didn't do what Brendan asked her to do when she gets slated by the judges!

Yeah, totally agree that Brendan's honesty is a good thing and a benefit for his partner, so at least then they can improve.

Agree to with you shellshell Brendan has acheived a lot in his dancing career, with winning competitions and championships...this goes to prove that he's a brill dancer!! Also he shows his dancing ability and great performance on SCD especially in the pro dances
