Is it time to replace Bruno?

He used to be my favourite and very, very funny. But now he makes me uncomfortable with his remarks, especially when you remember that this show is one of the few family shows. He is bordering on the very edge of bad taste and we don't want to get as far as obscene. Should there be a time delay on his remarks so that they can be bleeped out?

    Absolutely! I never found him amusing in the first place, he's just exaggerated.

    Are his comments to male contestants (I assume this is what you mean?) any worse than Len leering over a 20 something young girl? He is OTT, but he is good fun and he does give the dancers some good tips.

    Yes. And take the unsavoury Len with him

    No:D! I like the current mix of judges with their quirks and emotions they engender in those who watch then

    I can't actually remember Len suggesting to a 20 something young girl that in his opinion she was overdressed...

    Bruno is good fun and harmless, and when he isn't flirting he does give good constructive criticism.

    Strictly would be much duller without him.

    I thought it was a little off when Len told Chelsee she'd warmed up his willy. But what the hell. It was mostly harmless. Can't get too fussed about it. They let themselves down with these comments more than they Corrupt the Young. When the sinner is the loser, let 'em get on with it. :p

    I think it is time to replace the time to replace people. I love Bruno. He is fun, OTT and totally fair in his comments. I would suggest people start watching CBB if they find all this innuendo unsatisfactory.:(

    Nope ... he has gone a little over the top with the flirting this year ... but that's nothing Arlene & to an extent Len have not done before ... Bruno's a showman which I think was proved at Wembly ... I have to admit, I didn't get him before going to the live tour, but he was definitely one of it's highlights (and ok, he kissed me!) ... since then I've had a lot more respect for his enthusiasm, comments, general bouncing around, and also his scoring, which can be high, but he's also not afraid to use slightly lower paddles than Len & Alesha! ... Loved him & Flavs having a bit of a Jive at the end of the Saturday show ... they looked like they were having a lot of fun!

    Replace Bruno? :eek: Why??? He's fun, he's positive, and he also knows how to give some useful constructive criticism. I like him as a person and I think he's a good judge. Bruno stays! :mad:

    Bruno needs to stay :) no replacing him cause he balances Craig's personality so much

    I think Craig's scores are 5/10 for technique and 5/10 for performance...depending how good you are on once thing or another then you add both together and get your score.

    however Bruno scores a dance as a whole , yes , examines it and analyses it but if as a whole he has seen good technique and good performance and has liked the content and story of the dance he scores well


    Len and alesha balance themselves too ....lens knows all about classic ballroom and wants content on a dance...alesha knows nothing about technique and basically criticises on performance ,,,,

    the panel of judges is great ....even with alesha :(

    If the producer was doing her job properly there would be no need to replace Bruno or Len. They need telling what is and is not appropriate for a family show. The reason for Len's grumpiness is twofold in my opinion, firstly he is tired flying forward and back to the US, secondly he is as fed up as many viewers with the lack of proper dancing this year. The first problem could be addressed by asking Len to choose between the US and UK shows, it's obvious he can't do both. Bruno just needs telling to calm down, otherwise he's out, he should go back to being funny, not behaving like a superannuated pervert.

    I like Bruno because he's an observant judge and gives good constructive criticism. He can be a bit dramatic but what the heck, he's often made us laugh out loud - " you danced like Tutankhamen in a dress" ( Kate Garroway ). I'm also loving his kindly comments to Chelsee this year, always calling her my darling and pointing out her errors with helpful suggestions to correct them.

    None of the judges need replacing. People starting threads about them means they're doing their job.

    No, Bruno has to stay, but I think it's time for Len to go. I think he is really beginning to look and act like an old man. I also appreciate CRH because he really does tell it like it is, and someone's got to!
