It's a very average series thus far.
Pixie has her critics, but for me the only WOW FACTOR contestant.
Jake's ok, Caroline on par with him. Frankie, lacks any personality although competent dancer. The rest are all, "time to make a cup of tea" contestants.
Judy, is deffo, time to turn over to see what's on other channels. I just return to the show to hear the same judges' remarks about her being wooden and stiff.
Tess, is out of her depth with her juvenile and cringe-like presenting. The jokes written for her are designed for 10 year old's. So, the presentation aspect has declined. Bruce gave the show balance although in recent years he did struggle.
TV is currently so poor per se. Dumbing down tv, Flooded with cooking shows and quiz shows.
I look at classic comedy from ten years ago, like THE OFFICE, EXTRA'S. Now, we have dreadful lowest common denominator tv like, NOT GOING OUT, MRS BROWNS BOYS. A Ten year old could write the scripts for these shows. Yet these shows are lauded as top entertainment. You have the tedious Russell Howard. Trying and failing to emulate the brilliance of Harry Hill, with his critique of current tv.
The BBC used to be far more discerning with their content. Now, they play the numbers games with commercial tv. It's now become a race to the bottom.
At least, Mackenzie Crook's, The Detectorists, offers some respite from this dreadful era of television. It doth beg the questions as to why it's on BBC 4 and not 1?
So, to return to Strictly, i'd say it's so far, one of the worst series?
