Tess is getting too big for her boots (or boobs), she constantly disagrees with the judges despite never doing anything note in dancing herself. She is annoying me now.. I find it uncomfortable.

She needs to understand these are qualified judges who are in the business for years. Put your manners back in, Tess ! years of training, sweat and tears should be respected, not mocked. Of course they have to ham it up a little bit to make it fun, it is a TV entertainment show, not a serious dance show !

I haven't even noticed. Isn't it part of her role to encourage the celebs anyway.

She has been pants tonight

The judges, Bruno in particular, have been rude as hell tonight, so good for her for not respecting them.

I agree. Bruno has been really rude and temperamental. Good on Tess for sticking up for the celebs.

It's her job surely, to be supportive to the dancers, if that comes across as too rude to the judges then I disagree. Sometimes the judges, apart from Darcy can be incredibly rude ( Bruno especially tonight).

I often disagree with the judges

Bruno was badly out of control tonight. Tess was right to intervene.

The look Tess gave Bruno after she made the apology was priceless and for that one look alone she should stay.

She had a face like thunder after that little slip of the tongue of his.


I have to add, my estimation of her went up a notch after that.

I do wonder sometimes whether he has been using anything.

This is the first series I've really watched, so forgive me if I've got this wrong.

I noticed that Tess always says - well shouts - "we all loved that"...but in fact the minute they start dancing she appears to leg it, and just races back in time to start grabbing them and shouting again. Someone could have fallen over and she wouldn't know!

I agree totally

I can imagine she had the producer shouting in her ear about that one - she handled it well

To be honest after tonight I can't blame her for disrespecting the judges. To be respected they need to act respectfully.

I think she is 'pants' every week! Can't stand her voice, her style and why does she shout everything

Bruno has been behave appallingly all series. Ok to be constructively critical about a dancer's ability but surely to laugh at someone (ie Jeremy) when he is clearly doing his best is just plain rude and totally unnecessary. Very uncomfortable TV. Someone should have a very strong word with Bruno.

Its to do with where her seat is....she has to leg it back and then back again....almost saw Brucie off!!

Remember she has the producer in her ear telling her to apoligise and probably admonish after that inappropriate use of language . Pity he goes too OTT otherwise he would be brilliant .

I think Bruno is the best of the judges especially for his reading of the dance and telling the celebs where they're going wrong and how to improve for the future .

Yes, she's been rubbish since she took over, I didn't like her from the start, but thought it was just nerves. Sadly she's getting worse as she's getting more confident. I caught part of her talking when I was trying to find Jays jive, very strident, unpleasant.

Bruno was out of order tonight, whilst normally I can laugh at his OTT analogies and enthusiasm, he came across as darn rude and churlish tonight, not cool.

Tess handled his dropping the B bomb just right, and I like Tess as a presenter for the show, she supports the contestants, doing no different to what Bruce did.

Tonioli has been getting on my nerves with his ott antics for a couple of series now, id like to see the back of him.

Supporting the contestants is one thing, but Tess has an irritating habit of acting as if the judges are idiots if they say anything critical of the contestants. Which is just as annoying as the boos from the audience any time the judges find fault.

Which said, Bruno was getting more than a bit out of order tonight. Criticising their technique as Craig does is one thing, but Bruno was getting nasty and actually mocking the celebs which is even less pretty than the dancing he's criticising.

Yes, getting increasingly annoying.

More than once we had 'Darcy, let's have something positive from you'. If she hadn't noticed Darcy hardly ever says anything too bad anyone although strangely by her standards she ripped Katie to pieces.

Notice Tess pitches in at the slightest bit of criticism for Jay.

It would be nice if both Tess and Claudia could actually put together a couple of authentic dance steps given that they are always going on about 'keep dancing'. How about practicing what you preach?

^ this!
