Keep shaking her ugly mush at craig. At least his scoring is fair and he realises that he had 10 paddles and not 3 like the rest of them.
Someone need to slap her
Not just me then

She has always had a very high opinion of herself and certainly fancies herself a cut above the others. You don't get where she got without being tough and she elbowed the wonderful Viviana Durante out of the way at the Royal Ballet
To the delight of the whole company at the time, let us remember.

I have never really liked Darcey much. First it was all the yaaahing, then I went through a phase of acceptance, but after last night I have come screaming back around to disgust again.
She needs to go.

IMO the mark she gave Alison compared to how she marked some of the others was a disgrace.

She marked almost identically to Len. What was wrong with her marking that wasn't wrong with Len's too?
Exactly. Plus, Len also makes faces at Craig and even shouts at him - and he very rarely gives less than a 5, he gives that for them merely turning up.

So, which did you prefer?

Sunetra's VW last week or Sunetra's Jive this week?

Darcey: "Both worth a 7"


It is becoming a bit sad and awkward

I like her a lot! It's Bruno who gets on my nerves, actually.

At least Alesha gave scored lower then a 6 when she was a judge!
Alesha's 2 for Nancy's Salsa brings me joy and peace of mind to this day.

The fact that this thread isn't very big means only one thing, Darcey isn't that hated.

Personally, I think that Darcey is the most qualified judge there. She is known all over the world for her fabulous dancing and if you can do ballet, you can do most other forms of dance, too. Craig and Bruno are only choreographers and Len was probably very glad to be offered the job in the first place!
Len is the most qualified, he has over 50 years experience as a gold medal winning, championship, ballroom dancer.

Not what I heard. But you may know better. There should have been room for them both as we had until recently at ROH with Rojo and Cojocaru. But Darcey was the Princess and although brilliant, was not in the same league as Viviana. Viviana dancing with Irek was just something else.

Why does commenting on someone mean you hate them? I queued for hours to see Darcey dance and thought she was wonderful. But - I am getting tired of the 'everyone must love me' Princess on SCD

Well said, though I do think Len knows what he is talking about too!!

I don't think she has that attitude at all.

Possibly not. I'm just saying how she comes across to me - and clearly others too.

I don't either, she just balances out the others!

Same here. And her scoring is just perplexing.

Darcey is the least qualified judge. Yes, sure she is known for her wonderful ballet, but she knows nothing about ballroom and even less about Latin dance.

Craig & Bruno are "only" choreographers? Both were previously dancers, Craig had danced BB & Latin before, even if was sometime ago, and if nothing else because of the sheer number of series they've spent on Strictly, they have learnt a good deal.

Len? Why shouldn't he have been glad to have been offered the job in the first place? But if you think he actually needed the job, you are wrong. For many years before Strictly was even thought of, Len was doing very nicely thank you.

She really has a cheek and its just bad manners . Craig knows a lot more about Ballroom and Latin then she does and having been with the show since the first series .
Craig really lacks ballroom technical knowledge or in fact is severely lacking in dance knowledge when dancers are in hold, not my opinion but proven in every series

I like Darcy but when marks are given out I get bored of her side look of 'disbelief' every time she thinks Craig is too harsh
Yeah I know...that's getting boring now. At least Craig is always honest and truthful and you can see that contestants really home in for his critique unlike her. Her lowest score always starts at a 5, if I recall correctly. Apart from that- she has beautiful legs!! Lol!

Darcys scores at the weekend were ridiculous and the side looks to Craig are getting on my nerves.

So ? He's not there to judge those things. Each of the judges brings special knowledge and experience and looks for specific kinds of talents in the dancers. That's what makes the panel special and balanced and entertaining. D'Arcy is a massive boost to the panel imho.
