That is still the question. He was pretty bad tonight, made mistakes, but his jokes were a bit funnier. Pole and dancing, that was good, by his standards. Felt a twinge of pity for him, but the show just flowed better last week without him.
Also without bruce's stupid jokes and asides we actually get to hear more from the judges. I get so angry when he wastes time telling a stupid joke and waiting for a response from the audience, only to then hurry up the judges because they are running short of time.
I also preferred Caudia backstage. So much more natural than tess.
He's awful and totally spoils the show. The one thing that annoys me the most is his comments about the dancing...he isn't a judge and should just zip it rather than try to influence the voters.
