He takes everything personally and can't take a joke and then gets personal in response but in a more serious way.
And all that is before he's even commented on the performance. Again, Craig is the more "scary" judge but he gives relevant critique and keeps it about the performance without the need for getting personal which is so much more professional. Jason doesn't give helpful critique, just nasty remarks and then gets personal about the actual celeb in question which to me is totally unprofessional and unnecessary.”
And also, a lot of the celebs that take part in Strictly have said that backstage, both before and after the shows, Craig is a really nice, friendly guy. But Jason seems to be the same when the cameras aren't rolling. From listening to what several of the celebs and professionals over the years have said, I get the impression he isn't very popular.

He's like Katie Hopkins, in that he says different things just so he can get attention.

I agree. I didn't even like Louis Spence beforehand, but he toned down his OTT persona for the show and was constructive and never nasty with his comments. He came across much better than I thought he would.
