... as Bruno says almost every time when he critiques the dance. Why? His comments and advice are almost always useful and spot on nowadays, he doesn't need to defer to Len at all.

Bruno doesn't seem like someone suffering from inferiority complex?

This might be a very obvious answer, but maybe because Len has just summed up most of what he was going to say anyway?

It's about 10 times less annoying than Len yelling "CRAIG IS WRONG".

The juges scribble things down during the dance, and if an observation (they're written down) gets said by another judge before they get to say it themseleves then they just refer to the next comment on their list that hasn't been said before. But if alot of what they've scribbled down has already been expressed by one or more of the judges on th panel already and they have no other new critique left to give, then they have to refer back to what another judge has said but word it in their own way (hence why they mention the other judge maybe almost as courtesy to acknoledge the point has been said before). Most judges will mark on the same things from basics and onwards, so they'll likely have to repeat each other alot of the time. I'm sure Bruno doesn't feel he needs affirmation frm any of the judges regarding his own critique as he would say he's a former dancer himself, of some discipline, and so has enough knowledge in aspects of dance to be able to vew his advice as good and valid (whether others recieving it or listening to it agree or not).

Except this week when Craig made a point that Len was going to make before him and rather than saying "Craig is right." all he could muster was a grumpy "I had it written down but Craig said it already..."

No, that's what he says after having screeched his more OTT comments and stood up and waved his arms about. His way of calming down and finish up his "judging" more sensibly.

You beat me to it!

See, I am channeling Len and you are Craig!
