I couldn’t help but be repulsed by the final of Australia’s Dancing with the Stars. The competition was eventually won by Anthony ‘Kouta’ Koutoufides in a grand final dance off against Arianne Caoili.

Now cudos goes to Kouta, but my major ‘erk’ is with the petulance of the judges on the show, in particular Todd McKenney. McKenney took great joy in tearing down the young chess master Arianne. For those who watch the show I’ve no doubt they would already be aware that Arianne repeatedly struck back at Todd via a taped retort between each show. This only seemed to anger Todd more and in turn Arianne received a judging backlash. Eventually Todd went as far as painting Arianne as a cheat, for having done as much as having dance lessons in the past and not revealing it to the viewers.

The Devil and Ariann.
