Those people who laughed when Pat and Tiffany got their scores.


I've been there and it's not the most pleasant thing. You almost feel like walking up to that rude person and guiding them towards the stage so they can show everyone there what they can do, which is, more likely than not, going to be nothing.

I know that if you expose yourself to the public you have to be ready to take both the compliments and criticism, but some people are so rude, thick, and narcissistic to even think things through a little. It's very easy to criticise whilst doing nothing from your seat or your sofa at home whilst watching TV, as if everything was that easy (something that happens a lot in sports BTW), but it is harder to actually make the effort, take the risk, to dare to expose yourself to the public eye and opinion, just to do what you love. That is why performers can be better or worse but in my opinion they ALL deserve respect. Unless they are deliberately offensive of course.

Totally agree. I was surprised to hear the laughter when the scores were announced.
