Firstly, I don't ever assume that anyone is expressing anything except their own opinion unless they expressly say so.
Secondly, again - I'm now getting the impression you don't watch ITT which is where much of the context is explained for what the contestants do or say. Claudia said this and Christine for some reason has repeated it a few times. And please, why on earth would anyone be putting themselves through the training that they are if they didn't at this stage want to do their very best?

“If you are allowed to vote because of Christine being under-marked then I am allowed to take into account that Jodie didn't get the time to rehearse that other people did through no fault of her own. I'll accept it's not the end of the world and suck it up but I'm a little bit cross about it and I'm allowed to vent. I also thought Lisa was a tad over-marked too and there was gapping between her and Brendan but you're right this is the game and worse things happen at sea.”
Again, you've ignored my point. Nowhere did you attack Lisa who was in the dance off and who was chosen over Jodie. You just bypassed this fact and went for Christine's neck.

“I don't hate Christine I just don't want her to win because people think butter wouldn't melt in her mouth which is not an opinion I share nor am I alone in this. I'm sure she 's nice enough but it would be nice if it wasn't a popularity contest and had something to do with the dancing especially since you know what someone dances like far more than do what they're like. I'm allowed not to love someone and express that opinion.”
I repeat I have never said you are not entitled to your opinion. However you continually express that opinion in such a way as to pretend you are a neutral commentator then I will pull you up on it.

Not really, I'm on record as saying I think there's something to like about everyone this year. The overmarking, especially of Rachel, annoys me but the celebs are just people, all different but likeable in their own way. By definition I can only have one favourite.
.... 
but probably will now the final is getting closer! i think rachel has a lot of fans, they are just the silent majority maybe. or at least silent sizeable proprtion of viewers.
