In fact I'd say more like a guppy myself, I was just waiting for the dribbling to start. I think Suzanne is spot on about Brian, on the American version of the show the judges said exactly the same about one of their pro dancers. The program is about teaching an amateur, not showcasing your own skills. For an example of how it should be done take a look at how Kristina dances down to John's level, I'm assuming that's what was meant here? Being a professional does not make you perfect or a know it all for that matter. It just means you get paid to do a job, you can still however be crap ;) Heather did look like a gormless fish!

It's one thing to not like their dance, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But to say she looked like a "gormless fish" is going way too far. Do you not realise how offensive that is? Heather is a nervous dancer and tries her best in all her dances. I personally loved her dress, but that is down to the costume department, not her. As for Brian to tone down his dancing to make Heather look "better" - Brian is a professional dancer and he knows what to do to make a performance work, he has taught many pupils over the years.
