If that is the criteria of judges' performance, then Fahmida Nobi is indeed doing a bad job - and Joya was a terrific judge for this round!

On the other hand, if someone feels that when judges are asked to comment they should do some sort of critical evaluation then Fahmida Nobi is doing the best job. She has the guts to call a spade a spade. People are offended this time because she criticized Salma. But all those who vote based on performance (not blindly based on performer) more or less agree that Salma's performance wasn't up to the mark this time. Her expression was excellent but her delivery wasn't. Fahmida Nobi simply pointed that out. I find nothing wrong it as I do not want all judges to be like "Joya" or "Farzana Shakil" whose only job is to praise each and every singer profusely.
