But we had hip hop this week....Peter and Janette called it a cha cha cha.
You class that dance as hip hop? ![]() Their dance may not have been a proper cha cha but it was as far away from hip hop as you can get. Watch this and then maybe watch Peter and Janette's dance again...there was absolutely no hip hop content in their dance IMO. This is hip hop.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVoNwiFIPRU |

I like Craig but he could be a little kinder to some of the celebs especially as it was the first dance and everyone was very nervous . In fact I've never noticed such nervousness from most of the celebs on SCD .

I used to think similarly of Craig but he has diminished in my opinion over the years because I find his scores and comments artificial at times. He's as much a puppet as the other judges.
Of the 4 judges I like Bruno most in terms of his perception and articulation of what he sees in a dance. He scores too generously but he delivers criticism as biting as Craig but in a more flowery and less obvious way. As a quartet they all have a different function. If all the judges were like Craig some contestants would give up and go home. Len and Darcey search for encouragement as much as criticism. Unfortunately both are inconsistent. |

Craig is the least knowledgeable judge when judgement is called for on in hold ballroom or Latin
The reason maybe his own lack of experience at in hold dance When judges dance on he never does More than hip/bottom shake As for being fair does that include his marking of Riley |

It was a perfectly fine cha cha cha. None of the judges , including Craig who nit picks to the max , commented on it being anything other than a cha cha cha , and they are the experts .

I agree about Craig. There was a lot of "sympathy" voting on Saturday!

Like a few others on this thread, I think Bruno makes the most perceptive comments, even though he seems a bit of a buffoon at times. I don't find Craig particularly knowledgable or illuminating.
Marks wise they are all a bit rubbish although the overall finishing order usually tends to be ok. |
