How many times do people have to be told???
Some say "It's a competition!"
Others say (often in very condescending and patronising ways) "When will people understand that it's a light entertainment show?" The latter type are probably the most irritating, because they usually assume an air of those talking patiently to children, whilst completely failing to realise that they are themselves completely missing the point. So now it's my turn... Why do people assume it has to be one or the other? The two aren't mutually exclusive! It's a competition. It's a light entertainment show. IT'S BOTH!!! As such it needs to fulfill the criteria for both. There, simple! ![]() And I really don't care how patronising that sounded.

So it IS both, but I wouldn't use the term mutually exclusive, because it's very much in the favour of "competition" for me. |

It's something else as well....it documents a learning process. They are all learning, although some are learning faster than others - and some, it seems, have little left to learn besides the quadruple toe loop!
