is anyone else missing them? I know jason could be nasty.
But he always made the show watchable and emma was sweet don't want to sound racist but I find it hard understanding katrina's accent.
Would have prefered karen barber to be back on the panel.

Katarina's English is fine - and she has judged on shows in North America - so she isobv in demand- It took ITV five years to sign her

They wanted her that badly

Would prefer a German accent talking sense & having something useful & insightful to say that the banal rubbish that came out of Bunton's mouth.

I have nothing against Katerina's accent, but she really struggled to find the words she needed last night, sometimes getting the wrong ones completely making her sentences meaningless. Often it was a case of "yes we know what you are trying to say" rather than her actually having said it.

I think because of her credentials, many people overlook the language problem, or even refuse to acknowledge it exists. Personally, I think she will go the way of the Russian (?) professional they used to have on the panel (i.e. not invited back), if she doesn't brush up on her English considerably. She is a lovely, warm lady so I do hope just being here among Brits is enough to polish it sufficiently as I think overall she has been a great addition to the panel.

Oops and edit because I never answered the OP's question. Do I heck miss Emma or Jason!

Agree

How anyone could miss Bunton is beyond me.

Wont happen - Kati is bessie mates with Chris and Jayne- and Robin for that matter

I think you were referring to Natalya Bestemianova- but in terms of language communciation skills Kati is fine

It seems there are a few ladies that are Chris's bessie mate !!
