This probably could have been stated in response to posters in the other BD thread. I would love to see your reviews of other top 12’s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_orangecounty Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Why would you or anyone else be? They are a pillar of the activity and the standard. Now jealousy I can understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor '96 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Fellinieqsue got a 99.65 if I recall. I understand it was amazing execution (of a boring show), but you have to pay off judges to get a score that high. 😉 And how was that little girl in a book entertainment? 😆 They didn't succeed in making it particularly cute or heart-warming. She added about as much to this show as tap dancers, an electric viola or a sousaphone. I need to go watch "Channel One" now I think. haha-just exaggerating my exasperation a little bit.

Paying off judges........here we go again........smh. And that little girl who brought nothing to the show (says you) is Clara. And she was in the 2015 show Ink, not Fellini. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
