Cranfield you are spot on. I was even thinking of starting a new topic about this blatant sexual inequality.
The few straight men on the programme are clearly told not to make comments about the girls bodies and yet it seems perfectly acceptable for the women to make comments about the men.
I don't mind them doing it but only if the men are allowed to return the compliments. That's why it's called equality !!
I have often thought that if the men drooled and make comments about the female celebrities, the way Tess, Claudia and Darcy do (especially Tess) there would be an uproar.
All the obsession about hips, guns, getting their shirts off, fanning themselves, etc. it is sad , pathetic and unpleasant.
Good Point. Imagine if Len said Caroline your chest looks great in that dress.

Absolutely this ^^^^ I've been saying the same thing off and on for years.
It is not a new phenomenon...have people forgotten the way Arlene used to pick a bloke to letch over every series...or the way Tess used to say "get out your guuuuns" to Austin Healey almost every week.
Didn't Darcey say to Pixie it was hard to tell who was the celebrity and who was the professional? How much more praise do you want?!
I know she went on to pick out a couple of tiny things Pixie could do better, but that's in Pixie's best interest. She's not perfect, everybody has things they can improve on.
I think Pixie is great but that doesn't mean she isn't beyond improvement. Last week Darcy mentioned that Pixie wasn't as good with her arms as with her feet and now I'm looking for it I can see it. I'm even wondering if it caused by her arms being longer than Trent's!
I get the impression that some of the judges regularly mark down particularly outstanding celebrities to encourage them to do better but then someone who is not really as good will end up with a higher score because they had a good week or because of some gimmick like Jake wiggling his bum.
She makes a fool of herself drooling all over them like a frustrated MILF.

II think the producers of SCD think every older woman on the panel MUST drool over the younger men! YUCK. I remember Arlene did the same thing and I found it just as unattractive as with Darcy. Same with Bruno, must we have him flirting and making "jokes" to the male dancers the whole time. YES Bruno, we all know you are gay.

I am not a great fan of Pixie (ridiculous name for a grown woman!), I find her plastic but I have noticed this year the judging is ridiculous. Often the judges make wonderful comments about a contestant only to mark them a 7 or less. So many of the female contestants this year obviously have extensive ballet training, Pixie, Frankie and Caroline!! Seems a shame that the judges are not honest about this when making comments. Frankie especially shows that she has had extensive ballet. Beautiful body positioning and arms!!

So from accused of a bit of dance training at stage school they are now being accused of 'extensive ballet training'! Could just be that they are natural dancers who had a bit of dance training some years ago. Judy Murray had some dance training when she was a child but she did not have the natural ability to benefit much from it.
Why should she if she doesn't think it was a 10 dance?
Darcey's actual words were: "You nearly outshone your professional partner there" indicating there were moments where Pixie didn't (for reasons Darcey went on to point out).
I'd agree with the suggestion Darcey favours the good looking male celebrities but not that she's biased against Pixie among the women. I see no sign of that at all.

I am NOT a professional dancer but I had dance experience for years as a kid and believe me, you can recognise it in other dancers as soon as they hit the dance floor!!

That's some talent you've got there.
Btw did you notice Judy's experience as soon as she hit the dance floor?
Comments
Other than that she is pretty useless.

Exactly what I thought , she did seem a little OTT....;-)

Why didn't she give her a ten, then?
Certainly Darcey stretching to find points that she could make to help Pixie be even better is not indicative.
She gave Pixie advice, but said nothing negative about Jake's dance, despite it being technically far inferior.

That really isn't fair though is it

Can you actually fake drooling?
Bruno does it all the time. The show sees is as 'entertainment'. He is able to switch if off and talk quite seriously when it suits him.
Imagining the taste of lemons will help you swallow dry crackers.
FACT (one you can try at home, kids)

Isn't that exactly what Bruno said to Sunetra last night? Or is that OK because he is gay?
