Since they have been doing this on the xfactor section, thought it would be nice to read what people think.

My favourite judge has to be Len. I think he know's what he's talking about and is never nasty when saying it. I didnt like the fact that he lashed at Craig last week when Alesha said something far more worse imo but i guess he want's to stay he in her good books!

Craig. With Len second for the reasons you have stated.

Sack Bruno and Alesha.

Easier to say who I think is the worst judge - and that is Bruno! He drives me mad.

From a dance point of view I usually go along with Len, but not always. Craig usually talks sense, if not in a particularly nice way, but last night my vote would have to go to Alesha (never thought I would say that!) She was clearly unafraid to say what she thought (Craig) and hasn't seemed to have fallen into the trap of having favourites.

My favourite judge was Arlene, she spoke fairly backed up with knowledge. I've started fast forwarding the judges comments section now as it makes the show far more entertaining and enjoyable to watch.

I think the panel dynamic is fine now they have dumped Arlene. I would like to see 5 pannelists to avoid Len having a casting vote (Like DOI), and would very much like to see Karen Hardy as the additional judge. I get the feeling Darcy is going to be a bit of a wet fish.

Craig is my favourite. Len despite being really annoying sometimes redeems himself through good knowledge to come 2nd in my list. Alesha is ok but I would probably prefer someone from a dancing background in all honestly. Bruno is just acts a bit deranged and can be really cruel so he's my least favourite.

Really looking forward to Darcey Bushell joining be good to have some fresh eyes and some different points of view.

Craig. Len's marking is extremely erratic and is often very inflated. Alesha doesn't have a clue what she's talking about and Bruno can be very annoying.

I'd say Craig. He seems to be consistant with his marking and doesn't have favourites. He can be a bit nasty sometimes but he gives constructive criticism. Len is quite knowledgable but he gives inflated marks. I think Alesha has got better but I would have prefered a professional dancer like Karen or Camilla. Bruno just annoys me.

Craig - definitely.

Alesha has improved and, despite one rather immature comment this weekend, is still infinitely better than Arlene.

Len is deluded and should go - along with Bruno, who has become unsufferable and way bitchier than Craig (and even Arlene! ).

Definitely Craig. I liked Arlene and I miss her, and I don't like Len. I wish they would sack him.

I actually like Bruno I think he's funny.

I like Craig because he scores properly, but his comments leave could be more constructive than bitchy.

I like Alesha (I know that she's not that popular but she said what I was thinking, Craig was really crap this weekend and I would rather have been watching Zoe).

I wish Len wouldn't mark so highly he's marks 2-3 sometimes even 4 points more than the others and they can't all be wrong.

Len is the most experienced judge and for that reason I would chose him as my favourite. I am warming to Craig who actually treats everyone the same and doesn't have favourites although he could temper some of his remarks. I can't believe I just said that.

As for the other two - a total and utter waste of space. Bruno is an over-the=top Drama Queen and gets nastier with every programme and as for Alesha Dixon - she has absolutely no experience, models herself on Bruno, marks like Bruno, has her little favourites, makes catty. spiteful and personal remarks, thinks she is all things wonderful and we have to endure THAT and she is not as great as she thinks she is.

I guess I'll have to fly the flag for Bruno again as he's much the most articulate and entertaining for me.

Craig and Len are desperately old hat these days, and Alesha's still struggling to develop a persona somewhere in between 'fluffy talent' and 'bitch queen from hell'. Only Bruno manages to hide real constructive criticism in between his bouts of insanity, and i also think he's the one who takes himself the least seriously.

My favorite judge is Craig, he has got a dancing background as well as an entertainment background and knows what he is talking about.

I know his comments sometimes may seem harsh, but most of the times it is exactly what I think. I find especially this series that he tries to mix bad critique with good points, which I like. If only he would get the time to get to the good points.

Anyone who is interested in Craig should read his book "All Glitter and Balls" I loved it and really gives an insight in his life.

It was Len in the first series - kind but actually made comments that were critical and helpful. However, he soon moved to deliberately goading Craig RH, or criticizing him when he had said the truth.

Bruno just annoys me - can he not speak better English than that? His comments seem to have less and less content as the show goes on.

Arlene used to have some good criticisms but often lots of unnecessarily personal comments.

Alesha grew on me as an 'everyman' kind of judge, even though her comments didn't add much - she's down there with the others for me now after her bad manners on Saturday. (Honesty doesn't have to be vicious.)

So I suppose Craig is my favourite - especially this series, when he seems to have tempered a lot of his previous viciousness - a lot of the time anyway. He gets booed or criticized by Len and Bruce when he tells one of the good contestants how it could have been better - but that seems to me to be the point, to encourage people to improve.

Craig and Len, I am all ears.
Bruno's going down in my book, but I still like him.
Only the patronising pen-pointing singer gets my back up.

Definitely Craig. Although I am really surprised most people here think so too. He makes the most constructive comments and maintains a great standard. I find Craig and Len balance each other out really well and like them both.

Thought I would be posting on here to be a lone voice defending craig ... very surprised (and pleased) to be in the (very significant) majority! Craig seems to have made a definite resolution to always find some positives wherever he can even when he has negative points to make first. Also he is invariably good fun on ITT, he doesnt take himself too seriously and is always a highlight for me when he's on

Craig by a mile. He knows what he's talking about and is funny.

I think most of the celebs value his opinion more, because they go wild when he gives them a good comment.
