I agree with the rest of your post but I was surprised by this. I think Len prefers the blokey blokes over the 'airy-fairy' non-sportsmen among the men and he may be kinder in his comments to the larger/older women than Craig or Bruno are. But I can't think of any examples of Len marking harshly an elegant slim woman. I think the judges all think the young slim women are the best and they have to be pretty dreadful not to score highly. Who are you thinking of?
Funnily enough last year during a Waltz master class with Claudia on ITT he described Aleshas Waltz as perfect and Caludia pointed out she never got a 40 for it, he remarked that was only because of Craig beign stupid erm no Len that would be YOU, his memory must be going bless

All I can think of is when he penalised Alesha Dixon for her Waltz in the final, when all the other 3 including ultra picky Craig gave her a 10. Which seemed incredibly petty and out of order to me. When he had given Gethin a 10 earlier in the series despite admitting to noticing more than one misstake.

I think that, if anything, it's the other way around: he made Ali look worse than she was, because the choreography was so difficult that she couldn't dance it with enough left over to "perform" it convincingly. (A similar point applies to any footwork or other problems.)
But I doubt any of the other celebs (except maybe Ricky W) could have danced anything that difficult nearly so well. |

No idea what it is but you can now often predict who he will throw marks at and who he won't - which isn't as it should be.

At the risk of totally complicating the scoring process, Oh, what the heck why not. Ive often thought there should be two sets of marks one for the content and technical aspect and one for the performance side.
