many years ago at a show, in BOB competition, the judge stopped judging, came to the crowd and said that if they could not clap for every dog, they weren't to clap for any.. further, if the crowd clapped more for a specific dog she would penalize that dog and it would not win..She felt it was "poor sportsmanship"...that would be like having to cheer for both teams at a hockey game!!!
