After seeing him being inconsistent with marking, having outbursts at couples and having favouritism to Peter and jay I think it's time the BBC had the balls to get rid of head judge len goodman. I officially hate him after his unacceptable behaviour to giovanni, it's an entertainment show for petes sake and SCD could lose a lot of viewers the rate len is going. It wasn't nice viewing, yes giovanni may have rebelled a bit, but len was out of order to the highest degree.

I happen to like Len

I dont think his outburst at Giovanni was out of order to the highest degree at all

you are like a broken record

It's obvious that you like tv like how BBUK is at times....well I think that anyway.

Another thread on Len?

Same thing all over again? Why?

This.

The only thing the production team care about is short term gains on SCD over sensible long term plans, yes ratings might be high with len on the panel, but the quality of production is poor. TXF although are getting poorer ratings have better production. BBC aren't in the comfort zone with SCD as they think they are.

Len has had an attitude ever since louise rainbow took over as the big boss of the show, he's upset quite a lot of people in recent years and I'll list some to enlighten you all: Karen Clifton, Artem chigvintsev, trent whiddon and now giovanni pernice. Is that a record to be proud of? I don't think so.

Len sending home pixie and simon last year was again silly decision making, however I think len had his hands tied behind his back to put through mark and simon as they were touring. The BBC should also remove the casting vote rule and do like they do on TXF and give it back to the public vote.

If it hasn't got a poll, does it count?

This campaign started in 2010 (or earlier?) and is still going strong.

OP, give it a REST.

To the OP: No.

Well if BBC were less lazy, threads wouldn't have to be made. BBC are just like a police state with certain things and this is one of them.

This is what I think: They want you to be upset when Len does those things. So he's doing a great job

Now answering WHY they want you to be upset has me a bit baffled. To make the show more exciting? Maybe to stir up votes for an underperforming couple, like Georgia/Gio or Trent/Pixie? Maybe to give a celebrity who's headed for a shock ouster an excuse that protects their ego (it's mean old Len's fault.) Maybe it's to prop another couple by depressing votes for the one he picks on. I don't know the reason but I'm almost positive it's producer-driven and there IS a reason.

Freedom of speech, I can like or hate whichever I want. Please don't tell me what to do.

Oh, come on.

Your threads have zero impact on the BBC, however many of them you start. And why should they?

Do yourself - and everyone else - a favour and stop watching the BBC if it creates such endless trauma in your life.

Okay - PLEASE give it a REST.

Maybe you could develop a notion of the "ideal judge" then rate each judge accordingly. There are two categories of judge to consider: "head judge" and "judge".

His producer has a my way and the highway approach.

Ah, the irony of trying to tell the BBC what to do while being affronted at the suggestion that you put a sock in it.

:yawn:

I'm 34 years of age, and don't want to be told what to do by fellow forumites. Feel like my head is pickled here sometimes.

Not sure I follow. I think the producer(s) are shrewd and manipulative, which I think is true for all reality shows. They have an agenda, and Len serves that agenda by being the mean old judge. If it weren't him, they'd assign the role to another judge. Their agenda isn't personal, other than wanting the show to do well so they can keep their jobs and maybe ask for more money or whatever. They probably care less about these "celebrities" than you and I do.

Like I've said above.

Threads don't HAVE to be made. We heard you the first time. Tall Paul doesn't like Len. Got it thanks.

Then, respectfully, I think it would be a good idea to step away from the keyboard, and away from SCD.

This cannot be good for you. Your obsession is not healthy. Please, try and focus on something else.

In other words a scripted show.
