Male and female presenter.
Sorry to offend claudia fans but we really need a male and female presenting duo of SCD. Tess is fine, but claudia is starting to irritate the hell out of me. Seems to me the people at the top were too lazy to find a male presenter so went with the tried and trusted option of tess and Claudia. I believe this is the reason why SCD isn't winning at the NTAs anymore. When we had a male and female presenting duo we had NTA trophies, I'd like those good old days to return, but with a male presenter that is suitable for the role.

I think Tess & Claudia are fine together and I enjoy the show with them. The idea that the show needs a male presenter is ridiculous and dated. If people are pressed about the lack of testosterone with the presenters then that says more about their dated outlook than it does about Claudia & Tess.
The only thing I would change would be the addition of the scripted desperate housewives ~jokes poor Claudia has to see every week about whatever random poor male dancer is drawn from the hat. |

I love the fact there are two female presenters, and I think it works because their presenting styles are very different. It balances out the three quarters male judging panel too, making the team an even 3/3 male/female split. And I like that we get to see two lots of outfits to like/dislike, and to see how they coordinate them.
![]() Overall I'm very pleased the BBC decided to stick with Tess and Claudia, rather than go with the perhaps more predictable option of getting a man for main presenter and keeping a female presenter for the touchy feely stuff. I didn't mind Bruce at all, but honestly I think the show runs so much more smoothly now. |

Um, no we don't. The show didn't lose the NTA because of Tess and Claudia, it lost the NTA because the X Factor had a good year and Strictly really didn't. I'm not sure why you think the only possible replacement for 'irritating' Claudia would be a man. I love Claudia, but Zoe did a fine job last year. Why a man?

Claudia and Tess
Like Claudia's sense of humour (mostly) and the way the Pros are starting to tease her too.
Find Tess stilted - wish they'd get her a better script writer. BUT I've read that Tess is very good at keeping the show moving in order and, more importantly, on time. She also doesn't get flustered. All important in a live show. Claudia said how supportive Tess was when they both were lowered from the roof. Tess used to keep track of Brucie too. Suspect Tess's talents in the live show are more practical than in presenting - but things would go wrong more often if she wasn't there. |

Brucie despite his jokes and that was entertaining, and we need in my books a male presenter that can dance and that, BBC could have researched harder of whom they could employ. Tess and Claudia were chosen as their a tried and trusted option. My gripe isn't necessarily with claudia, it's more with the BBC not digging deep enough and Claudia when she is loud is irritating. My mum isn't a fan.

Judging by the times the spoiler is coming in lately, Tess must be making few mistakes compared to Bruce. Admittedly she is not the most natural of presenters & would be better sticking to her script rather than over talking the judges, small issue, easily sorted.

It's a popular show, the old motto is, if it ant broke do not fix it. There are a few threads like this, change, Len, change VTs , change Tess, leave it alone, and it doesn't need new threads every few minutes. XFactor shows what occurs when you tinker with things you kill the show. |

Have voted SCD, but I have a suspicion that TXF may take it considering Cowell and Fernandez Versini are success stories of TXF.

Why do people think there has to be a male/female duo for a show to have a better balance. If the same sex pair work well together, what's the issue.
Mel & Sue. Ant & Dec. If they're compatible, it shouldn't matter their gender. It's the chemistry between presenters that matter, not their genitals. If you have an issue with the female individual, then fair enough, but why the need to replace her with a male and not just another female. Bruce was awful, so being male is not default for being a better partner for a female (or vice versa for a male). I thought we did win one NTA with Claudia. Or maybe it was just another silly award as the NTAs are. Also, if we did win an NTA with Bruce as presenter,I doubt he was the main reason, but more the couples celebs and pros. Bruce has been going downhill in popularity over the years when he was still on, so the idea he could be the secret weapon to winning an NTA is just silly. I don't vote for the NTAs and there are prob plenty of other strictly fans that could do but don't get round to it. No one is bothered that there is a gender imbalance with the judges, so why get your briefs in a twist about there being two female presenters. |

He is still a legend, even though his jokes were a bit corny to say the least, I've heard that he struggled to work in a warm studio and thought the light was too bright for him at times. He still served well, but in fairness he should have semi retired sooner than later. Presenting is a very stressful job and Sir Bruce even though I made numerous threads that were anti Bruce, deep deep down I regretted making them. I shouldn't have made them about an elderly gentleman like him, no matter how he grated on me.

No we don't.
IMO Claudia is brilliant - her madness always keeps a nice tone to the show. Tess is annoying me this year but in fairness I think a lot of that is down to scripting and her intended role on the show. I think they're fine and I also think we're lucky when I think of some of the alternative hosts we could have! |
