I didn't say you were. That's why I wrote in the brackets that people on this forum use gymnastics in a derogatory way and that I hate.
On a general note (not referring to Isha or Gurmeet or any other contestants performances on JDJ5):
Stunts are performed in Professional Dancing Competitions. BUT they are not the only thing in the dance, the stunts make up about 1% of the actual performance. All the stretches and lifts come under 'tricks and shine' part of dance competitions. So stunts are performed but kept to bare minimum so not to minimise the actual dancing. Like I said, haven't watched Gurmeet's performance yet so can't comment if his only had stunts.
I heard that handicapped part too and it did strike me as odd. She should have been a lot more careful with her word choice. I haven't really watched that comlpete bit yet. I tend to skip the general-talk parts in episodes and only move to actual performances and then scores (sometimes don't even bother with Judges comments). So I don't know and can't comment on this anymore.
