This.

Seconded!

I am not missing him a single bit.

I mean, without Brucie, not bad, awkward jokes, no awkward grabs at the female arms and judges get to talk without unnecessary interruption. Talking of the last bit, I actually find it incredibly rude of Bruce to interrupt and talk over the judges, especially since he likes to do it in a very belittling "what do they know about dancing?" way. Highly disrespectful.

I didn't even notice he was gone tbh, I still think Tess isn't a great compere, but the show is so much lighter without Brucie. He is charming and I would miss him when he retires as he does add something to the show but he just can't cut it anymore, has lost any semblance of timing and there are moments I'm genuinely worried he's going to do a Tommy Cooper so I think the show is better without him now unfortunately

Four knights are as we speak galloping towards errr .....Canterbury Cathedral???

Hmm who did you want ridding of again.

I must admit that I missed Natalie and Brucie in equal measure tonight snogglewort.

:d:d:d

So much better without him.
He'll spoil Blackpool.
Great to see him momentarily loose the rag with Bruno last week when he made the Dave gaff. couldn't take it when joke was on him!

I love it when he isn't there

^^This

I only very occasionally watch strictly but i like to know which celebrities are doing well. Ild watch full time if they got rid of bruce he really does kill the show

Tess has shown twice this series that she can do a better job than Brucie.

My vote is for her and Claudia to present the next series and let Brucie gracefully retire!

No, didn't miss him at all. Didn't miss the stupid jokes, the interrupting of the judges at all. Tess and Claudia do a great job.

NO NO NO

he ruins every show, tonight was great without him.

Part-timer Brucie? £500,000 a series Brucie? I run rings round the BBC when negotiating my contract Brucie?

Nope.

It's a no from me and a no from him . Good night.

One word:
NO.

Much better without him, didnt have to use fast forward on Sky plus tonight

Not keen on any of them

Claudia annoys me

Bruce takes over and a bit old school

definitely not!!

NO. I was actually able to watch the show live tonight without recording it and fast forwarding through the Walking Dead's dreadful jokes - which he writes himself! The whole show had a different feel to it and I much preferred actually being able to hear what the judges had to say without constant interruption.

the show is a much better proposition with the two young women presenting. Bruce should take a permament holiday

Quite.

And another big fat NO from me. He's an unfunny, overpaid, embarrassing, rude, oafish, disrespectful, ego-driven caricature and I just wish the BBC would get rid once and for all.

I don't know how much his fee works out at per hour, but sure as hell he must rate as one of the most overpaid individuals in the UK relative to his 'performance'.

I think it's time he completely retired. To every man there comes in his lifetime that moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and should step aside.

Definitely no
