Did he deserve it, or was she out of order ?

She's a complete tool who needs a good slapping

Darcy annoys me fullstop. I think she did it for attention. Also get irritated with the way she says "niiiiiiiiiiiine" or "teeeeeeeeeen"

Imagine if it had been the other way round.

Darcey and Len were both out of order with how they spoke to Craig. Len in particular acts like more of a spoilt child every week when anyone disagrees with his view. I'm thoroughly fed up with him.

It's all fine. Good entertainment. Craig deliberately acts nasty and he's there to get a bashing from Tess, Claudia, Zoe, Darcy, Len, Bruno, the pros, the celebs, and everyone else.

It annoyed me immensely, I thought Craig was the only one who talked sense about Simon!

Craigs the only one fair and consistent with his scoring. Some of the 10's tonight were unmerited

Darcy is really starting to annoy me this series. The way Craig gets shot down by the other judges and booed by the audience makes it seem like a pantomime!

I usually agree but i didn't agree with Craig's comparative marking tonite..
He gave 8's to Frankie & Simon and 9's to Jake & Mark which to me was more than just the wrong way round.

Erm .. that's because it is a pantomime? Craig is the nasty judge. That's what it says in the script.

All these shows are, to varying degrees, 'pantomime' do people out of their teens really not get that? I hear folk at work discussing judge a saying whatever to judge b and how terrible it was etc. Do folk genuinely not realise the conversations that'll go on pre show with production etc about the forthcoming show and the direction they'd broadly speaking like it to go in?

No, not saying it's all scripted but come on, let's wake up none of these shows are pro comps, they are first and foremost ENTERTAINMENT

Cheryl: I should have a big argument with you this week Simon about you not putting 'x' out last week, what do you think?
Simon : yes good idea, then Louis you butt in to agree with Cheryl, gang up on me'

etc etc and so on.

I do agree it's all scripted but bloomin' annoying all the same .

I thought it was very funny and light hearted too.

Darcy is annoying me now, Craig is the only one who talks sense, we have weeks to go yet not everyone can be perfect

I don't see her adding anything to the show really, she has no personality.

I actually think she went too far. That was too physical.

You are MISSING the whole point

THIS IS A PANTOMIME. - wake up and open your eyes.

Most mass entertainment is pantomime, one of the cast is always someone to hate / or boo

It is all scripted. The histrionics and the text.

They really are great friends and Craig was delighted when she became a judge .

But if someone is going to get booed everytime they give the slightest criticism then what's the point of having a judging panel? It's not just Craig, any of the judges get booed when they start to point out the flaws in a dance. Sure it must be encouraged by the producers before the show but it's irritating.

Fully agree with you. Frankie and Simons dances were far better, no comparison in my book.
