My view was that Mark didn't deserve a 3 or an 8 but somewhere in between.

However, Len is most definitely the worst judge. Mainly because he is a parody of himself, believes his own hype and is not self-aware enough to reign it in when need be like the other judges. I know Bruno is the excitable camp one, Darcey was "famed" for her "yah's" and Craig dons the metaphorical twirly mustache from time to time but they knew when to bring it back a bit and give a serious critique of the dance. Len doesn't.

Well said!

Len is just a bully and really needs a good talking to.

I just want to see the Audience goad him again - just see how much it takes before he loses it.

just said that elsewhere. He really does get on his high horse when they disagree with him. Sorry mate but it's they and us who are paying your wages.

Just the sort of thing the BBC would want, 'specially if it makes the tabloids.
They couldn't buy such excellent publicity for the show, it'd have new viewers watching in numbers!

agree

I think he probably felt a little silly after last week and I would have put money on it that this week he would be seen to be fairer and more reasonable / sensible this week.......and he was!

From a dance perspective, his complaints about the "faffing about" at the beginning of routines, would be fair comment in a proper dance competition. But this isn't, it's a "show" which has brought an unmerited and unexpected fantastic increase in his earnings at the end of a not particularly auspicious career in dance. So he shouldn't complain.

Agree...Natalie was fantastic......Though I do like Mark I think he is lovely and genuine and is trying extremely hard ..I hope he does well in the competition...
