Which part of Len's act do you like?
I think that Len is well past his sell by date as far as SCD is concerned.
His scores are too high. His comments are too congratulatory. His alleged "Masterclass" with the two left feet Claude is a farce. The what Len thinks section is ludicrous. Is there any part of his appearances on SCD and ITT that are worth keeping? Bin him. |

I'd keep the Masterclass with Claudia - it's one of the funniest sections of ITT and sometimes he teaches a step or two as well.

Hmm..
I think the "master class" is only funny because Claudia contrives to make it so. I've said Len talks like Mr Hodges the air raid warden in Dad's Army, but he also reminds me of Dixon of Dock Green in his latter years, as you never actually saw him do anything. He can be really critical, but I've never actually seen Len dance since this programme began. Maybe one week he and Bruno should get off their backsides and show us, then the other two judges can pass an opinion. Len really loves himself and his marking is inconsistent. But a lot of things about this show is inconsistant. It's part of its appeal. |

I like the masterclass because Claudia is fun.
I like that Len doesn't give people 3s - 3s are just so demotivating .But the "ask Len" section last year s*cked indeed - I haven't seen it yet this year, luckily. Actually I don't mind Len too much on the show because I always record it and fast forward the judges' comments . Could do with fewer judges on ITT, though, especially Craig.

I love Craig on ITT - at least his scores and comments are consistent even if he is harsh and personal at times.
Sometimes Len can be whacky, grumpy, overmarks etc, but sometimes he comes out with some great one liners.. On Saturday he told Chris thet he could have been "'tighter in the buttocks' but he was sure that Bruno or Craig would point that out to him!" I think it was so subtly done that a lot of people missed it |

Len was very funny on the Friday panel with Craig. Haven't laughed so much in ages.
The Masterclass is hit and miss and the Ask Len and other Len items, usually pointless. |

Oh I love Craig on ITT because you actually get a chance to hear his opinions which I find interesting.
Am I wrong or is it true that Craig is the only judge to appear in person on ITT? Len calls in, but I can't remember seeing Alesha or Bruno on the sofa this year Len: len len len lenlenlenlen... you have an overinflated sense of importance, no doubt fed by the Beeb. You do not deserve a casting vote, especially when viewed by this seasons choices, which range from shocking to pitiful. You are not beloved by the public. On DWTS you are fine. But over here I cannot like you. And ditching Tuffers is the final nail in your coffin (dodgy conspiracy part of me wonders if yoo ditched Phil in order to retain Ricky G as a sacrificial lamb in later weeks? ie when Ricky W gets in the dance off?) |

Craig is always much more positive on ITT as he has the time to explain his opinions more. I always feel that Craig on a Monday is both hilarious and interesting...and at least he's consistent! When he's on ITT you can see that he really does give a stuff about the couples, regardless of how dismissive he is on Saturday.

He's a genuine international ballroom judge. Like him or hate him, he has an important place on the show until someone else from the ballroom dance world of a similar or higher qualification steps in. (in my opinion)

Len has become increasingly irritating to me with each passing year and even worse since “head judge status” he really loves having that casting vote and often uses it regardless of what he has just seen in the dance off....the power trip goes to his head.
Also his annual "Craig you are so mean rant" is petty, predictable, disingenuous and tedious as well as boring fingers crossed he has done it his year and will now shut up. If Craig left I wouldn’t bother watching. I would love Len to leave. |

He reminds me of one of Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets, so I find him very entertaining. I'm not interested in him as a judge, but I like him as a character on the show.

He knows his stuff - no doubt about that - but he can be very annoying and I think he's on far too often.
