His words weren't complaining or whinging or ranting, there was no tone like that. And again, his comments could be made because of being prompted by something like "How did you find Bonnie's judging on the show?" He made a short statement about something many people feel - that Bonnie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041219328291457447.post-17936458193430590832008-03-12T12:49:00.000+11:002008-03-12T12:49:00.000+11:00You really need to be more careful with these thin...You really need to be more careful with these things. Twisting people's words, it's not right, and it's something the Daily Telegraph specialise in. Marko could easily have been prompted into those comments by questions.

The flow of his solo was very good, but bent knees, lack of height in his jumps, and 'hoppy' landings don't make me think he is a fabulous technical dancer. Sorry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
