Is she for example making fun of those who think 9 means a brill exec dance that just needs a little more polish? Once someone goes ironic / sarcastic and so doesn't mean what they say, it is difficult to know what they actually do mean, if anything. Soz, but of the humorous Strictly blog posts I've read, this is the one that seems the most mechanically sarcastic and the least funny. What would the point be?

Also yet another person who thinks marking should be about mistakes. (I'd like to see what she makes of figure skating. Probably she's one of those who thinks someone who falls should never finish ahead of someone who doesn't.) *sigh* Yet another person who doesn’t get that 10 doesn’t mean perfect in Strictly and that, to go with that, 9 does not mean “a brilliantly executed dance that just needs a little more polish”.
