StarDance contestants face social media criticism

Participants in the StarDance competition have encountered mixed reactions and online criticism following the fourth competitive evening.

Singer Tomáš Polák, from the band O5, was eliminated from the competition after performing a quickstep with partner Adriana Mašková. While the duo received 21 points from the jury, Polák's departure triggered a wave of social media comments. Some viewers expressed sympathy for his exit, while others directed harsh personal insults toward him, citing dissatisfaction with his emotional displays during the show.

Actor Tomáš Matonoha, who advanced to the next round with partner Lenka Nora Návorková, also addressed the impact of public opinion. Matonoha noted that while he felt calmer during his performance, he remains sensitive to toxic online attacks and prefers receiving feedback in person rather than through internet discussions.
