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.

They're probably been reading this forum during the past 3 weeks.

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.

Perhaps not but it sure as hell wasn't a cha cha cha.

When judges dance on he never does More than hip/bottom shake

As for being fair does that include his marking of Riley

Marks wise they are all a bit rubbish although the overall finishing order usually tends to be ok.
