Who really cares if he forgot a comma or whatever?
This. It seems as though Mr. Robinson gets great pleasure out of making people feel shit about their recaps as he is always correcting their mistakes but then basically slagging off Kai's recap was the last straw for me. Mind you, I've commented before on this sort of behaviour (a la Mr Reynolds) and I got told off for it.
Just a little slack James, Kai gives up a lot of his scarce free time to do this and harassing him about a misplaced whatever is pretty tiring. Nothing personal against you James, just ya'know.........the last evening kinda ticked a few people off
OK, if people think that I'm harassing Kai in any way over his recap on Monday, then I obviously apologise to Kai and everyone else who was offended by my comments.
My only thing was that Kai made a couple of basic errors on that recap, as well as his one the previous week, which could've been rectified by watching it again carefully, or by paying more attention. But, as we know, Kai, has a lot less time on his hands than most of us, as he is still at school, so doing the recap is probably near the bottom of his list of "important things to do".
I suppose my frustration was that I take so much delicate care with my recaps, because I actually care about them a lot, mainly because it's something I like to think I'm pretty good at, and when people do make elementary errors, it does annoy me slightly, as I like to do mine to as high a standard as I can.
Looking for mistakes is just something I do. I suppose it comes as second nature to me, it's something I obviously need to control a bit more, as it does obviously offend quite a few people on here.
I would also like to point out that I'm not a perfectionist, or deem myself to be perfect in any way, shape or form at all.
Peter's performance in the first half of yesterday's show, seemed to suggest he could definitely become a formidable opponent in the finals, should he make it.
