Surely people are not expecting perfection from a presenter on a live show . Tess and Claudia are doing a good job, except perving over one of the male pros is not very professional . At least there is no time wasting for some cringe making jokes like wiyh Bruce . Although I enjoyed Bruce messing up a very polished show .

Telling a pampered celeb that the 'audience loved it' after having been given a unanimous bad report by the judges undermines them. What the audience think is immaterial. The celebrity doesn't need to be soft soaped into positives, they know they haven't danced well, Tess trying to engineer positive vibes is a pointless charade and another reason why she's terrible. And it's hardly because she's female that this is being pointed out, Claudia does an awesome job and she'd do a much better job than Tess as the main host.

No, she really isn't. I know it was in unfortunate circumstances but those 3 weeks where Zoe stood in for Claudia last year were so much better.

I do not mind if she's sugarcoating it for the celebs, it's almost a ritual now. It's not like Craig or anybody else changes their mind. What I did mind on Saturday was the way she treated Jay. "In case you missed it first one hundred times I said it, he's very nervous."
Very patronising, too, imo.

I wasn't comparing her with Zoe though. Between Tess and Claudia, Claudia is far more natural. Tess is a bit Stepford wife for me.

I like Tess - it's Claudia I have to fast forward. I find her so false, playing a part, not her natural self. I wish Zoe would replace her. I know I'm in the minority but Claudia! But we all have our own opinions.

Stealing Suzy from LO Marbs look, naughty Tess.

She presents the show perfectly well, she just needs a better sidekick. |

Shes just a bit bland for me.
Good looking lass, though. Cant abide the hunchback dwarf side-kick though, with her ridiculous fringe and halloween make up. |

What script? That's auto-cue, not script. And most of what she says is ad-libbed

Surely all links are scripted. She gets a chance to adlib when she talks to the contestants and judges at the end of the dance, but even parts of that are probably adlibbed.

I dont mind Tess too much ( got used to her ) but I don't think the words Ad Lib and Tess belong in the same sentence....
scripted it is - and, as has been said, even the judges comments are written for them |

And often he will refer specifically to an incident in the preceding 2 minutes (so not after having had several hours to think about it after the rehearsal). Do you honestly think (Tess apart) that people aren't quick witted enough to think of something to say, without having it written for them by somebody else? |

Sorry should have been clearer on that, I meant the joke comments from the judges... The technical stuff is of course down to them
These are clever, intelligent people, employed not just because they know how to judge a dance, but because they have the ability to think of something witty on the spot. And- as often happens- if there isn't anything funny to be said they are wise enough just to stick to a critique of what they have just seen. I mean- I can think of witty remarks after watching some of them. I don't need a script writer to put words in my mouth. The difficulty is I wouldn't have the dance knowledge, but it isn't that difficult to think of something funny,or sarcastic, or for Bruno to go over the top on his own. When he does that do you really think someone has to write it down for him? |

I would say the gags are theirs as well.

The reason i cannot stand Tess Daly is because she really does think she is clever and witty with the comments she comes out with, but she is the total opposite. She has no personality, relies on the auto cue and sometimes i think she embarrasses the contestants, professionals and judges. Mind you i cannot stand her husband either, the most annoying presenter on tv, so a pair well matched. 😠

Although Sir Brucie had his moments when adlibbing. He made me laugh a few times.

The telling thing about Tess is she presents no other show for the whole rest of the year (other than the annual one-off Children in Need). What does she do with her time for the rest of the year?!!!
