Which one do you prefer on the ice panel?

I have to say I didn't miss Jason at all and Louie wasn't as grating as I imagined he would be, so I prefer Louie (apologies, I spelt his name wrong in the poll)
.

Louie is definitely better for the contestants, giving constructive criticism, but Jason was the more entertaining.

Between the two, Louis easily.

I wouldn't have either given a free choice but I would pick Louis over that other obnoxious prick any day.

Louis was fairly good tonight. He was constructive and NOT destructive. Jason cared too much about himself and not enough about the dancing.

Louis - he was constructive rather than destructive. I used to enjoy listening to Jason until last year - he became so arrogant and rude and now I'm glad he's gone.

I hate both but Jason.

Louis definately, it's such a more pleasant show to watch without that nasty little (former) egghead making vicious comments that help nobody.

I would prefer a neither option.

Louie definitely. Though I think he'll start acting like Bruno off Strictly once he's settled in.

Though I've spent the whole evening spelling his name 'Louis' instead of 'Louie'.

I still prefer Jason

Jason by loads. He was amazing, I miss him

Louie by a mile.

He was constructive and encouraging as well as entertaining. A great addition to the panel - as was Katarina!

I've just emailed ITV praising the new judging line-up. I'm not good at posting links but I put 'how to contact itv' in google and got a link that way. Just saying in case anyone else wants to do the same.

Jason by a country mile. Loved him on the show to be honest. There comes a point where you inevitably end up with celebrities still in the competition because they are popular rather than them being any good. Jason would tell them straight out that they no longer deserved to be there based solely on their ability to skate - and I rather liked that.

It's too early to say. Louie had some good moments, but he also had moments where he looked like he might spill into "over the top - all about me" Louie.

I'll give him a few weeks to see if he can keep up the interesting comments, without repeating himself. Mainly I hope he'll remember that it isn't about him.

Me too

Louie, think he did well was very constructive and not that snidey way Jason had.

^ This :sleep:

At the moment, Jason for me, but I do like Louie

Louis every time! I hated Jason because it's ok being the 'Mr Nasty' but he just got too personal and just pushed his luck a bit too far last year.

Louis seemed a bit nervious but I love him and my young daugher was very excited he was taking over. I sure he will get right into the role and show more of his fun personality.

If Louie carries on the way he was last night, then definitely him.
However, I'll wait until the end of the series to vote, in case he becomes like Jason halfway through.

Neither of them. They both annoy me.

I did wonder if he was deliberately making sure he was very un-jason like last night.

Judging by his remarks in the result show I have a feeling there may be fireworks between him & Katarina at some point.
