Seeing Alesha thrive on Britain's got Talent just demonstrates how restrictive being a judge on strictly is.
She is one of the main attractions for BGT at the moment and it's easy to see why! Compare that to Darcy whose middle name may as well be 'dull', there really is no competition!
Some people hated Alesha but it was a lot more entertaining when she was on it! I'm happy that Alesha was brave enough to move shows because now she seems a lot happier and is increasing her profile whilst getting paid more!

Know all about the above but she knew little or nothing about dance technique and in particular lacked any viable advice for the male contestants
A hole the missing Like in Alesha head
Cowells minions have started posting early!
They haven't even got a winner yet for BGT let alone have time for them to plant stories about them being signed up for Strictly !!
Other than saying to the good-looking ones, that she liked their tight trousers.:D
She was a great contestant, but a lousy judge.
Alesha was the only ever judge with the ability of empathy! She truly understood what the contestants were going through and what was a realistic standard for them as amateurs! Alesha wasn't judging as a professional, you have to remember that and that kind of critique is vital for contestants.
Her camaraderie, charisma and ability to have fun was second to none and added that much needed 'spark' to the panel.
This isn't a professional dance competition, it's an entertainment show; hence the need for entertaining judges. Darcy is not that.
Like Alesha missing? Head in the a-hole!
Saucy!
What do I win?
Anyway she decided to leave so it's her loss rather than ours.
I like Darcey on Strictly, she gives good advice.
I gave her the benefit of doubt for a long time believing that she was the "empathy" judge but, "Craiggate" put paid to that and in the end I was glad to see the back of her. A lovely looking girl but, clearly out of her depth when judging on SCD. Darcey is a fantastic replacement and not only empathizes with contestants she gives advice on technique in a way that Alesha can only dream of.
Couldn't agree more!
Haters? Oh dear.
You've come out with similar 'hater', 'jellus' childish arguments against posters who dare to criticise Katherine Jenkins!
It's actually against the terms and conditions of the forum to insult forum members. Maybe you don't know this because you're new here but here are the terms and conditions of the forum.

It's a very childish argument to call someone a 'hater' - I don't see any 'hate' on this thread - just some posters who think Alesha wasn't that great a judge on SCD - a view that they should be entitled to express without being insulted!
Just because some of us didn't like Alesha as a judge on Strictly doesn't mean we "hate" her. Hate is a horrible word, and shouldn't be used in this context.
And Alesha "haters" being uneducated? That is so incredibly rude.
The truth is some persons hate evening classes so much they would rather stay at home and subject themselves to one hour of Alesha.
Unfortuately she had too little experience to judge ballroom dancing.
Darcy has been an excellent choice for the position and I hope she stays for a long time.
In fact, Bruno looks incredibly lost without Alesha. You can see that he misses her and is missing that relationship with Alesha.
I too am glad that Alesha is now getting the credit she deserves but I just wish she would have got it when she was on Strictly. Two different audiences generally equals different cultural and alternative backgrounds, maybe that's why.
It's your opinion that Darcey is boring. Some may find her 'boring' - others find her a refreshing change and an interesting addition to the panel.
I didn't notice Bruno looking 'incredibly lost' last series. He looked his usual buoyant self - he was successfully doing Strictly and the American version a long time before Alesha came on the scene so I think it's way off to suggest he can't cope without her - I'd take an educated guess that since he's been in show business a very long time and on Strictly since it started that he got over Alesha leaving very quickly
I also disagree with the claim made in the OP that Alesha is one of the 'main attractions' on BGT - I'll admit it's not a show I'm really into but from I what I've heard the revival of the fortunes of that show is more to do with Simon Cowell returning to the panel and it could also be argued that David Walliams is a bigger attraction than Alesha and didn't Cowell admit his only reason for hiring Alesha was to get one over on the BBC? Massive fail there on his part if that's the case, because Strictly is thriving without Alesha as shown by the ratings last series.

She had enough to win it, which is more than any of the others did.
She had several months full-time intensive training in ballroom dancing with a top teacher, which is more than the average amateur competition couple get in two years and infinitely more than Craig or Bruno who had none at all - in fact I doubt if they had ever even thought about ballroom before they smelled money and became instant "experts".
I remember when the show first started Craig supposedly wrote a book about the subject, but it turned out to have been really written by Len. What Craig did was not clear - perhaps he took the manuscript to the publisher and brought the proofs back.
