It's a bit like being a sportsman - there are only a certain amount of things it is acceptable/possible to say when you're in competition with other people, you're high on adrenalin and fear, and someone's shoved a microphone under your nose.
All those footballers who come out with the same old 'yeah, we played well and eventually we won the game/we gave it everything but unfortunately they got the better of us' aren't criticised for being dull - well, yeah they are, but we don't watch them for their conversation skills
Far better we criticise Tess for being totally unable to ask a decent question despite being paid a considerable amount to do so every week over several series.
What's that?
We do already?
