None of them - especially NOT Craig.

As has already been said up thread he really doesn't know a lot about the technicalities of ballroom and Latin dancing, and Len is the only one who meets that criterion!

Karen Hardy is also a qualified judge (like Len) and would be ideal - as would someone like Ian Waite - but while it is supposed to be about ballroom dancing, it really does need to be someone who knows the subject well!

(Craig's camera, Bruno's binoculars and Darcey's... nope, can't think of anything - she's out, don't have quite the same ring do they?),.
You could switch the theming up and have Darcey's Dissecting Table - do her up in surgical scrubs like Lady Di and have her gaze doe-eyed down the camera as Claudia squirts ketchup on her. Should play to her fanbase nicely.

I would agree with you, but one of them must be experienced in BB & Lat.
Why?
It's a phone-in based popularity contest. The judges just pad out the prog to stop it being 15 minutes long.

That would be like sending Cole to Newcastle.

Karen Hardy. She's a dance teacher, judge and she's won Strictly.

He may speak sense but he speaks it very rudely . Yes , yes , i know its meant to be panto but there is no need to put people down
Craig doesn't patronize em if he knows they can do better.

I think Craig would be an excellent head judge as he has found out there are paddles less than 5 !! The others don't seem to know that, and so they aren't qualified !

Ok, just going to put it out there... I think it'll end up being Anton or Karen...

Anton can't be dancing for much longer, he's the natural replacement for Len (Unless he takes Zoe's job on ITT/Tess' on the main show) and he'll have the most ballroom knowledge. Karen fits into the same bracket as having the most ballroom experience.

However, if that weren't to be the case, it will be Craig. He was guest head judge when Len was away a few seasons ago.

I do not think any of the remaining 3 would be remotely suitable, certainly not Craig. Of the three I think Bruno knows the most about technique, but he is temperamentally unsuited.

If he were, he'd be going out, with his arthritis he wouldn't stand a chance of staying in!

Of the current judges I think Bruno is the one who provides the most constructive critique, is consistent with marking (even if you don't always agree with his marks) and who can be honest while being nice at the same time. If they were to add a judge I would go for Karen, Ian or Erin.

I would certainly rather have Bruno than Anton (or Karen or Ian). Erin would be much more tolerable.

Camilla Dallerup. I miss her

But I like Anton too and wish he'd be a host or judge, as well.
