Rate & Review All The Strictly Judges - THE JUDGE-O-METER THREAD -Have Your Say Here?


Do you agree or disagree with the judges opinions and scores ?

Don't hold back Praise them or vent your spleen here, the choice is yours ?

Lets hear about all the good, the bad and the ugly stuff about all the Strictly Come Dancing judges.

Seriously, are the judges watching the same show as us tonight, whats going on with all this over marking, have the producers been giving out the pre show drinkies tonight?

That was a great little clip that they just showed on It Takes two of The Judges reaction faces to Daves Dance on Saturday night on Strictly, does any one else think that this should be a regular feature,. I really loved Bruno and Darcy's reaction faces, and Craigs straight face was actually hilarious, did anyone notice what Lens face was like as I missed that?

Someone Must Have Something To Say About The Judges Continued Erratic Behaviour On Strictly Tonight ?

Is Anyone Else fed up of the blatant favouritism ?

We don't see exactly the same as the Judges see, we see what the Director and the Exec Producer wants us to see and the two can be very very different.

I Can't Really Imagine That It Is All That Different, You Make It Sound Like A Smoke And Mirrors Trick The Producers Are Pulling, In What Way Could They Do That ?

I think Darcey should go back to Ballet does that count? lol

In rank of decent critique Craig is by far the best, Bruno I feel is the emotional judge and there for ranks his scores on what makes him happy. Len needs to go back to basics and find his equilibrium once more.

The judges can watch the dancer's feet from start to finish in a dance, we can't.
If the director wants us to watch a dancer's upper body, head and shoulders for 10 secs, they'll get those shots.

But Surely The Judges Don't Just Judge On The Feet ?

Is There Anyone Else That Wants To Rate The Judges Performance Last night, Marks Out Of Ten Would Be a Good Indicator ?

Last night was very perplexing - Len being rather too nasty? Bruno subdued by his standards? Darcey inconsistent? Craig continues for me to be the most consistent judge in terms of what he says, week in week out.

For me, last night was the most pre-scripted, pre-marked show of the series. Craig was at his lightest, Darcey "the boys are right" as pointless as ever, Len was just nasty and Bruno has run out of steam.

The only funny part was when Darcey clearly stole Len's script (can't remember for who) and came up with the usual Lenism, "You came out, gave it some welly ... blah, blah, blah ... well done!"

It just underlined that the fix is in.

Craig........ I'd give even lower marks than him.

Darcey.........she must have a major crush on Patrick. It appears he can do no wrong for Miss Bussell

Len..........inconsistent, mean, personal, criticises but then scores 9

Bruno.........overactive, marks erratic. Defiantly plays favourites. Sick of his over reactions to other judges comments


Is that OK Terry?

Bruno, with his 'Len is right', is far worse.

My review of the judges;

Len: Least qualified, grumpiest, misuses the points system, head judge only because of his age.

Darcy; Maybe a bit too nice, but knows what she's talking about. The only judge not playing a pantomime part. Should use points 1-4 more often.

Bruno; A good judge, but copies Len's scores.

Craig: Fairest user of the points system even if a bit too persnickety. Sometimes gets it wrong when playing the villain.

Correct, they don't.
But they see more than we see.

Darcey's 10 for Patrick was probably the craziest mark in the history of Strictly. I mean, it's practically a non-dance for the male celebrities and he did a reasonable job in the circumstances..but a 10 !

But Do You Really want to see Their Feet The Whole Time?

Personally I Don't, Its Not Really My Thing, If The Judges Want It Let Them Have It, That's What I Say.

I Do. I'd like to see something on the red button which is a single shot from head to toe throughout the dance.

Len knows what he is talking about but inconsistent and marks erratically

Craig often agree with what he says

Darcy go back to ballet - when she tries to talk ballroom and latin technique makes me cringe

Bruno a panto extra

Shame no Craig on It Takes Two tonight, the Panto goers are lucky to have him tonight, I wish they could shut Len up, he just goes on and on, Bruno is OK and Darcey is an absolute delight as always.
