After his ridiculous 6.5 to jeorgie and not much integrity to dancing on ice I'd like it if itv bosses could get this idiot booted out of the job.

He is biased blatantly towards the boys and Jayne and Chris are disgusted with him. Louie is the reason why people are switching off in droves.

Wonder if others feel the same way as myself?

I don't.
After some reservations, I quite like Louie.
Whatever makes you say Jayne and Chris are disgusted with him?
And I think he was right about Jorgie, it was bland for her.

no - I had reservations about Louie joining the panel but I have grown to like him, yes he is out-there and slightly wacky but he knows what he is talking about with regard to the dance element of the routines performed and I agree with him regarding Jorgies performance, something was lacking, she was just going through the motions, there was no emotion in it as far as I could see - yes - it was beautifully skated but that is where it ended (for me)

Well I don't....louis for Head Judge....he could show both Robin and Kat a thing or two!! He was the best thing since sliced bread at the start of the series, now he has committed an unforgivable crime....get a life OP, he's doing his job, that's all!!

Well on my twitter account I have been furious with him and he seems to be favouring the boys or itv employees you could say, about time itv gave this man the axe and put in someone more qualified for position as he hasn't got a clue what he is talking about.

Get a life? huh? you wouldn't have a life if you had aspergers like me. This is not me talking a load of drivel and my views are just as valid. Calm down mate.

I expected to hate Louie as I couldn't stand him in other things I've seen him in (as in accidentally caught bits of rather than planned to watch) but I've grown to quite like him as a judge despite him still being quite irritating at times.

And I had to agree with the marks he gave Jorgie as in relation to the other performances on that evening hers was bland, boring, no oomph, no expression and pretty poor use of the prop. She twirled it only when up in Matts arms or when stationary and a tiny bit when going backwards when there is no risk whatsoever. When plain stroking forwards she just held it like a stick and let it float out behind - no movement and no interest and absolutely no danger. At the end she did a pathetic turn around pushing herself round with her free foot. Not at all impressive.

While I can see Jen did little actual skating she made full use of her acting and danceability bringing the whole clown thing to life and really working with the music and deserved to be above Jorgie. I have seen kids skating with ribbons and it can be beautiful and exciting. Jorgie might as well have had a stick.

More qualified? Well, let's see...Louie is there as a dance judge to examine dance quality, execution and performance skills. I wonder what sort of training you'd need for that? Let me see what Wikipedia has to say about it...


Oh OK, he's trained at a proper stage school. What about real, hard-core performance experience though?


Oh right. So he's done everything that Ruthie Henshall did, and everything that Emma Bunton did, and a damn sight more than Jason Gardiner's ever done as a performer.

Still not enough? Well, let's look at his judging record - I bet he hasn't got any track record there...


Oh.

For me he is a one trick pony and should be on SCD instead of Bruno tonioli. He is in the wrong job, fact.

My views are valid too...just responding to a comment you have made on this thread, after all you wanted to know if FM's shared the same opinion!! Sorry to read about your illness BTW!!

It's a mental health issue and a mild form of autism mate. However people did retweet me on my twitter account so I must be making some sense where that is concerned.

Ooh such bitterness because someone has actually seen that Jorgie last night wasn't all that special. I agree with Louie the routine was mind numbing and when skating she did very little with the actual ribbon other than it trailing or the odd swoosh of it. Hardly a ground breaking routine and IMO she looked bored and uninterested in the routine.

Also are you a mind reader to know that Jayne and Chris are disgusted with him? I don't remember that being stated anywhere in the show last night. Chris did question the mark however hardly showing disgust.

Also Louie is there as a performance judge he is more than qualified to judge in that capacity as has been posted by someone else and in his view Jorgies performance last night was not up to scratch. I hope ITV keeps him as a judge.

Keep Louie, at least he had the courage to say what he felt, Jorgie was rubbish last night and deserved a lower vote.

Is there a website where I can vent my spleens on and complain?

Oh not another "Get (insert name here) out."

You clearly don't like Louie but I think you're overestimating your influence if you think your likes or dislikes will influence itv bosses when they decide whether or not to retain Louie's services.

How do you know that Jayne and Chris are disgusted with him - do you have your own personal hot line to them? Ditto your assertion that people are switching off in droves because of him. What evidence do you have that this a fact and not just your own wishful thinking? Have you conducted a survey?

Louie has been very generous in his marking of Jorgie until last night. He gave her his top mark in weeks 1 and 3. He marked her joint top with Matt in week 5. Top score again in week 6. Week 7 he marked her second to Matt and week 8 she was joint second to Matt (with Chico.) Week 9 again only Matt was in front and of Jorgie who got joint second with Jen. So you see apart from last night Louie has placed her either 1st, 2nd or joint 2nd every week. What's more he has never put Chico in front of her. He found the routine bland and boring and Jorgie showed little animation. Just because his low mark reflected this I fail to see how you can accuse him of favouring the boys.

As you'll have gathered no I don't feel the same way as you do and I find your attempts to justify such muddled thinking utterly confusing.

Twitter including me are furious with him and yes my tweets were retweeted, so obviously my followers agree with me.

Don't be daft! Louie deserves to stay, and was brave with his marking of Jorgie. It's his choice.

Who says Jayne and Chris are disgusted?

They disagreed with it and people who were app playing gave a higher mark apparently.

I don't think the millions of twitter users were all agreeing with you last funny enough I'm on twitter and oh I don't agree with you so how can all of twitter have the same view and be furious with him? I was perfectly happy with his score. Also on twitter you tend to follow or have followers with similar views to your own so its likely your like minded friends will retweet you or tweet similar things to you hardly a conclusive statement on all of twitter being furious that a few of your followers agree with you doesn't mean that the majority on there agreed with you. Didn't see that many complaints about the score in my timeline last night. There were some complaining and many agreeing with the score he gave.

Think you are overestimating how many people actually agree with you on this.

So C&J disagreed, hardly any reason to suppose they were disgusted.

And some of those who were app playing also disagreed. Are we to assume then that all tweeters are disgusted?

Yes but Paul if I tweeted that I thought Jorgie was bland and boring, I'm sure my follower (if they watched DOI) would agree with me, as generally people follow and like similar things on Twitter.

I still want to know why you think T&D were disgusted? Where did you get that from.

And as a lot of us have said, Louie has favoured Jorgie over the boys an awful lot, so the one week when he says what he feels, and a lot of people agree with him, then he's being biased.

This is what life is all about, the rough with the smooth, the constructive criticism, which, if Jorgie has anything about her she will take on board, use and come up with a stunning performance next week.

And for all you Jorgie fans, let's hope she does. Personally I don't care who wins, nobody has caught my attention to make wish them to win for a few series, but I still watch, for the skating and performance.

That has just made me angry. What has your aspergers got to do with any of this. My son has aspergers and ADHD and is getting on with his life, not using it as an excuse to push his views on things. I would be so cross with him if he did try. Its people like you that uses it that make it so much harder for people like my son.

Disagreeing isn't being disgusted is it?

I like Louie and I'm loving him on the panel this year .... his mark for Jorgie was a tad low (7.5 would have been more appropriate IMO) but it was a dull routine

Just because a judge doesn't agree with T&D it doesn't mean they should be sacked and neither shoudl they be sacked just because they gave a low mark to someone's favourite

When is it he found out he had it?

I dont think I was using it as an excuse, was just reminding you guys and girls about my position.

Anyone who wants to pm me about this they are quite welcome to.
