The Siamese twins

Leslie. This guy never fails to bewilder me. What he says is not what he wants, what he wants is not reflected in his stars, what the stars mean â I doubt even he understands. In the first round, he says UA were thanda in chemistry, monotonously stood in one place, and didn't 'use the stage'. Then he gives them 6 stars, for what? Right after them come BS, they 'use the stage', use an imaginary prop, get some positive comment from Les, and still end up getting only 5 stars. What does this guy even want?? In the next round, worried, BS 'use the stage' even more, and get even fewer stars. Seems nothing can please Leslie. Most of the time it looks like he doesn't know whether to rate for singing or for chemistry. This guy doesn't even seem to have a mind of his own. When Rohit shouted 'fantastic' to BS' final performance, Leslie followed suit, and when Abhijit derided them, he covered up saying his fantastic was only because they had improved, but they will only worthy of 4 stars. And if he had any credibility left, he lost it all when he succumbed to Abhijeet's requests for a 7th star for UA.
And Abhijeet. Where do I start? Why do they keep calling this idiot back every time? He always ends up making a fool of himself and embarrassing everyone connected with the show. The world has already seen his C2005 Grand Finale antics. Back then, it seemed as if he was punch drunk. Today, it seemed he was on a double dose of PHP. He seemed 'high' right from the beginning. As soon as he came, he announced aloud that all the judges would have a unanimous verdict on the best jodi â as if they had sat at the back with Gajji and decided upon that. And for him, it was UA from the start. In the first round, he compared them favorably to Alka and Hariharan for that specific song â are you serious?? In any case, Alka and Hari didn't seem to agree. In the 2nd round, he said Ash was 90% as good as the original, and he would be 19 to his 20 (please don't tell me he's getting HR's 20-20 hangover) while Sharib was more like 10. (By the way, 19 out of 20 is 95%, not 90. Great Math!!) And in the third round, he again went overboard. Yes, Abhijeet, UA were very good today, but please keep your excitement and enthusiasm in check â no need to get overzealous. It starts looking fake, and then the back-door planning starts becoming visible. The worst was when he literally begged (or was it bullied) Leslie into giving them the extra star for that oh-so-lovely 14. You're a guest, stay as a guest, no need to behave like an interfering a**!
