Or hiss when he tells his jokes.

The booing is stupid, and if the audience boo just because some halfwit tells them to, they are a waste of protein and should be rendered down for dog food. I also watch the Finnish version of Strictly on Sunday nights and the audience listens quietly and respectfully to everything the judges say.

Oooh, I'll go along with that. Brucie's jokes just make me cringe. If you have to tell the audience to laugh, take the hint: what you're saying just isn't funny.

I like him as a presenter but I just wish he'd quit the 'jokes' - maybe just one or two good ones would be enough.

I hate the booing, standing ovations & clapping along to the songs!

Did you not know that the first person to stop applauding gets shot?

It's telly. Don't take it too seriously

Thankfully it's still not as bad as X Factor. The crowd on that show are either too over-excited to be quiet just for the few moments when less noise would be helpful, or, are just plain rude anyway.

I have stopped watching the Z-Factor since the Leona series because I just couldn't stand the mob.

i agree. too much booing, its stupid and distracting. there r many people that listen to craig's comments. and bruce should not tell him to stop talking either like last season

Maybe they ought to do away with the judges' comments altogether. I mean, what is the point of them? Why not just give a score, if the professionals are going to encourage their "celebs" to just ignore the comments, anyway?
And, if the television viewers are not allowed to hear the comments, because of the booing, isn't it all just a waste of time?

What are you saying never hear Bruno Tonioli's comments ever again!! He never fails to make me smile

Is that why Bruno is so active?
So we can guess what he's talking about, even if we can't hear him from the booing?

Blimey, I wouldn't want to get in the wrong side of you

I do whole hearted agree with you though

This is why I watch with sub titles and the sound down sometimes
