3 judges better than 4

No deciding vote for Len.

Craig, Camilla and Len as judges. Bruno is just a comic caricature of a judge nowadays.

Agreed 3 judges would take less time in between dances so make to show shorter(far too long at mo)
But Craig Len and Karen Hardy for me, less show busy and more ballroom/latin biase please

Yip, Craig, Karen and Len, would be great, but would still love Arlene back.

Three judges would be a good idea - it works on DWTS. Just get rid of Bruno - used to love him when he started, but now he is just so OTT he is a total embarrassment.

I think that would increase the chances of ties....assuming each mark was out of 10 still....and that's not a good thing with the silly new scoring system.

Len, Craig and Carrie Ann Inaba.

I really like Carrie Ann on DWTS and if Len can do both then why not her?

If it's four judges - Camilla.

Len for Ballroom Karen for Latin and Craig for "artistic interpretation" - for heavens sake Bin the Bruno - how irritating has he become this year

I think that there is something to be said for having a Len type judge, an ex-pro from the show and more of a choreographer type like Craig and that would be the right balance and keep the show tighter. I just feel that four is a better number to help spread the scoring. I'd look for a fourth judge who is also of Len's type, though probably a woman.

Brendan is a judge. On Dancing with the Stars in New Zealand. With Craig.

If Alesha left then three would be better than four. If another respected judge came arrived in place of Alesha then four would be better than three.

Take pity on the poor cameraman who has to keep the bouncing Bruno in shot. Bring back Arlene, keep Craig and bring in Karen Hardy for a panel of three with Arlene as "Head Judge" if one is needed.

Not against the idea of Arlene returning, but surely the'head judge' needs to be someone from the world of ballroom and Latin?

I have been advocating the 3 judge system for a long time.
Karen, CRH and a new body.

And someone who can bring a coherent sentence in at under three minutes.

Three judges is a really good idea. I would like to see someone well-known and respected:

My ideal panel would be:

Len
Karen Hardy
Una Stubbs or Lionel Blair

Before Strictly I had never heard of Bruno or Craig and after last Saturday's performance I would be quite happy never to see them again. It would be nice to see a panel who don't undermine the celebrities, give constructive criticism and judge contestants kindly without resorting to catty "animal imagery".

My ideal panel:

Chewbacca: RAWWWWWWWWWWW
Dr Who: The performance was bigger on the inside than out
Dr McCoy: THat dance was dead Jim
Head Judge Dr SMith: The pain...THE PAIN!!
