Glad that she is in control of this week's program.

Fast, efficient, allowing the Judges, (or should I say Joodges?), have their say and treating the contestants with respect.

With the bonus of not acting like the 5th judge.

Aww is Brucie unwell? I must admit to preferring anyone but Tess............ even Brucie.

AFAIK FForsyth is not sick; however it has been reported that many SCD viewers are sick of him, for reasons that I dare not articulate for fear of causing offence to someone.

I dont mind him tbh but then dont put much store by who presents it....except for Tess whose stupid stuck on grin and gurning offends me a lot.......oh and her choice of garments.

Bruce is not sick, it's pre planed leave as, he presented and recorded the Christmas special on Monday.

Whilst as quoted many do not like him, there are much more who like him.


Pity the few keep starting similar threads to try go influence others.

Keep dancing.

Great! Thanks for reminding me. I was looking forward to the show but now I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally looking forward to it.

What a strange, almost irrelevant, post. Like you, and many others, I am free to post, (within the Rules, of course), my own views. They not intended to influence others; clearly, in your case they did not.

Opinion as to the suitability of a particular performer/presenter is actually fairly evenly divided on these Forums.

i genuinely don't see much likelihood of bruce coming back next year given the amount of time he's had off this series.

hooray!

just need to secure a decent replacement.

And the resident Bruce superfan has already started yet another about Bruce not being on the show tonight. Now there is an obsessive.

So, I shall enjoy a smooth running show this evening.

I hope she shows off those fantastic boobs with extra cleavage and side boob!

Should be a good show. Tess and Claudia do the show much better than Tess and Bruce. He really must go before next year. A good night for both the joodges and cooples to look forward to

With all the attendant boredom. Ah well, there is always the dancing.

Hmm..

"Pot, Kettle, Black?"

Maybe he'll take "maternity leave?"

Well, when he completely lost it the other week, I thought he was "having a baby."

Aw, too bad that Bruce won't be there. Tess won't cheer Peter Crouch's goal, will she, like Bruce did? Stoke beat Chelsea!!! Yaaay!

Tess reads the autocue as if she does't really understand what she's saying. Useless presenter imo.

Tess is awful, why does she keep jerking about all the time?

Thankfully not all forum posters are easily influenced by others

Agree that Tess has her faults, but sooo much better than Bruce. I didn't shout at the tv nearly as much - well maybe at Len once or twice

She doesn't do much for her money does she?
