BB David: I'm being victimised

HE'S been doing it tough on the land, now David Graham, the openly gay farmer from Channel 7's Dancing With The Stars believes he is being victimised by the show's judges.
The former Big Brother contestant has routinely scored the lowest marks from the judges, polling just four last week, one point from each expert.
But a massive public vote has seen Graham through the rough trot and kept him in the competition ahead of other, more fancied contestants.
Still, the bush battler yesterday told television writer Stephen Downie the judges scores "really did knock me for six''.
"I felt like a tennis ball being smacked all over the place every time I got one (point). I felt like I'd been belted out of the court when I got a total of four.''
Graham said Todd McKenney had particularly used him as a target for nasty comments.
"He has his lines,'' said Graham. "Sometimes he might be annoyed we did a bit better than he thought. (His comments) sometimes haven't really fitted what we've done but he's used them anyway because he couldn't come up with another line quick enough.''
McKenney, however, denies he has singled out Graham for rough treatment.
"I'm not (picking on Graham),'' he said. "I call it as I see it. He is the worst dancer I've seen in all six series.''
McKenney said Graham was being spared by "the gay vote'', those wanting to support our drought-stricken farmers and his Big Brother fans.
