He was honest. Beating around the bush only keeps the bad dancers in longer. And to vote for someone just because a judge has made honest comments is plain silly. IMO Judy or Alison need to go soon. I hope Bruno doesn't beat around the bush next week either.
To make that comment to Judy, when she was clearly trying her best was mean, and normally he manages to find something good to say about everybody.

I'm 100% certain that applies to everyone.

It doesn't make them good or immune from an honest critique though.

Judy can't dance and its perfectly reasonable to say so imho.

Craig has already made that very point to Scott and since judges are there to judge, I cannot see the problem.

Personally, I didn't have a particular problem with Bruno's comment but I think the point is that saying "we expect nothing and we get nothing from you" goes beyond saying she can't dance. "Nothing" implies she gives nothing - no ability, no effort, no entertainment. Although I agree she has little talent for dancing, I personally think she does make a great deal of effort (more, arguably than those fitting in the odd hour round other commitments) and I personally find some entertainment in her efforts and her partnership with Anton. So going beyond the scope of critiquing her lack of dance ability does seem harsh and not all that honest either.

Fairy Nuff.

I take your point.

I do think Judy is more than capable of brushing away any Bruno insults whether real or unintended. She seems pretty popular and isn't exactly trying for a career in showbiz so I expect its water off a duck's back compared to the abuse she's had over the years as a tennis mum.

It did rather give the impression that he'd decided that the dance was going to be crap before she did it, which the judges probably should avoid doing where possible, because it kind of makes the dancing element of the show seem unimportant. You know, more so.

He said to Judy we know what to expect from you nothing

I thought that was nasty its all well and good blowing the production budget on a stage school graduate Frankie

Judy should be judged from the first show etc and she has shown improvement what was Alison doing flapping her arms around for 90 seconds.

This.

Also, if he thinks Judy's dancing is terrible why not give her some constructive advice on how to make it better rather than just dismissing her altogether? For me, good judging involves giving good advice where you can spot mistakes/weaknesses in the dancing.

I think there's a lot of difference between telling someone their dancing simply isn't up to standard and telling them they give nothing, which is what he expects.

One's factual: the other's personal.

Am I the only one who can't help thinking of Frankie Howard every time I see Bruno's face?
