I hate him.

He's just a Simon Wanabee. Christ's sake, someone sake him!

I mean, who does he think he is? He makes my blood boil, he's just... ARGH!!

Shows you how good the production team are doesn't it

No, quite the opposite.

They are just... so obviously trying to mould him into BBC1's Simon Cowell... but failing so damn miserably!

He is utterly pathetic.

That's the comment which justifies what I said

I still prefer him to Richard Park. I would like to wipe that no-it-all smirk off his face!

I prefer him to Dickie Park too.. at least the orange man is (partly) faking being a wotal tanker. To Dickie that is natural

I think they should make them both fight to the death, and then the winner can fight Simon Cowell to decide who is TV's "Mr Nasty"

Richard over Craig any day - I don't think Craig has ANY musical judgement at all!

I wouldn't be surprised if Craig was deaf.

Not only deaf but a pompous twit too.

Simon Cowell vs Craig in a battle of wit? Simon Cowell would win without finishing his sentence.

Yes - but Jimmy Carr would get there before him! Think 'Top Gear'.....

Craig's biggest crime as a judge though, is that he is just dull - he could at least try and be more 'interesting' in the pantomine villain role!

He is abhorrent... doesn't have 100th the wit or judgement of Simon.

LOL I agree.

Craig needs a slap. Preferabbly with a very wet fish.

Who actually is Craig? (What does he do apart from annoy everyone)

I wondered when he was one of the judges on Strictly ComeDancing.

Just what are his qualifications for judging anyone, on anything?

I loved Kevin shouting at him from the balcony last night Shame he didn't have a mic - mind you it was before the watershed

My theory is they've brought the orange man in to make Richard Park look good - I can't stand either one of them, they are saying stuff just to be controversial. I wondered why Lesley Garrett was on there as she is a classical singer, but she does give a fair critique.

I think Craig thinks this is a opportunity to get himself noticed - to be the NEW Simon Cowell!...

Its not working!

In FA1, Parkie was NOT Mr Nasty, this got introduced for FA2.

Actually all the judges are poor, Craig for his gratuitous nastiness, Lesley for being too nice, and Tricky Dicky for constant name dropping, and clearly having favourites irrespective of performance on the night (as in FA2).

Do any of them actually listen?

Tell that to Katie , the poor girl could do nothing right. He did get more and more irrational in FA2, but he was still vile in FA1 too.

You're right to a point, and I think he actually generated a lot of support for the Snedmeister, by slagging him severely after he sang "Goodnight Girl" which was probably one of the best performances of the series.

But again that was a matter of having favourites. I also thought that Katie was not all that good. However the point I was making is that he took it to a new level in FA2 to compete with Cowell. Which is where I think we agree.

I was going to mention David Sneddon, but was afraid I'd get jumped on

I agree he did notch up the nastiness in FA2, but what made it worse was the Grunts being able to put their two penn'orth in as well - I much prefer them as just teachers, they don't seem as treacherous now. I cannot bear RP, but at least you can laugh at the old cliches he comes out with, unlike the orange man, I didn't watch Strictly Come Dancing so I haven't a clue who he is and I don't think he has a clue what he is on about - I wish Kevin had had a mic last night!

Who is the egotistical slimeball anyway??????

Let's see how aggrivating he is tonight
