Hey guys..........

I really think you should give Mark Holden a break....some of the things that have been said about him on this forum (e.g. the cosima throat story) are just disgusting (and probably not true anyway!).

Some of the crap written by visitors would be enough to crush him!! It's just cruel in my opinion. The poor bloke is only human, and I think you're all to quick to judge him and make lewd and hurtful comments on the basis of his television persona.....It's Entertainment....Only Television!

Mark is very smart businessman and probably a nice enough man off screen......hey you guys, he got PAID to be like that on television. He was just doing a job. Do you really think that Mark 'just happened' to come out with some weird comments? Channel 10 wouldn't have employed him unless he was willing to play the part they wanted.

Whoever started those disgusting rumors, made slanderous comments, downright defamed him with the intention of hurt should take a look and themselves and ask if they've got nothing better to do with their life than cut down another person.

And if 'Touchdown' is just utter crap, then why is everyone saying it?

Give Mark a break.

Someone that agrees with me. If you hadn't of said it I would have. (I'm not just saying that I've always been one of the first to stick up for Mark if or when I was aware of these posts) Well said

The guy is an embarrassment. He thinks he is cool and funny, but even the other two judges cringe and roll their eyes with nearly every comment he makes. The guys is going thru a mid-life crisis.

Sure, Mark may be a nice guy....but he's a lousy judge!

His "hubba hubba" etc. jibberish is only a replica of one of the original judges for American idol who was also well known for his interesting jargon.

Take away the 80's jargon and Mark doesn't give any real constructive feedback like Dicko does....And when Mark does, he tends to choose the most inappropriate time to say it (eg. the Levi incident).

Well, it can't be helped that he'll be rep. judge for Australia, but I really hope he stops TRYing to be the "nice" guy and just give some useful comments apart from his "Hubba Hubba" etc.

Ashton:
No I am not related to or atracted to (before you say I am) Mark, I just choose not to bag him

Liz:
Mark made up with Levi, who even hugged him after the show and no longer holds what Mark did against him. Levi is over it, you should be to. The guy made a mistake, he's human and we (humans) do that from time to time. Mark's silly catchphases ie "hubba hubba" are something that he has been told to do, not because he wants to. Mark has been made to look like the fool because that's how channel 10 want him to look. The guy was doing his job, act like a fool or get the sack (and still look like a fool). So in the words of a great man "let it be".

Did you see Levi on Rove after he was kicked out?? He certainly hadnt 'forgiven' Mark then. He may have hugged Mark after the show, but out of politeness & for the cameras. It's pretty obvious he has no respect for Mark - not many people do. He's an idiot.

Levi hugging Mark was not done for cameras as you claim it was. He was upset with Mark on rove the next day, but Mark know's that what he did was wrong. He is only human and we (humans) are not perfect. He can't take back what he said and would if he could. It happened a little while ago, Levi now has a record deal and has since moved on to bigger and better things. As I said "let it be".
