So, he's more than qualified as a dancer, has previous judging experience, would make the transistion easy (the key thing for regular Strictly viewers and the general public) but you don't want him.
![]() Have an Anton prejudice per chance? So, you suspect on something completely unfounded. He gets on famously well with all the judges, don't know why you think he wouldn't gel? Have you got an Anton prejudice too?Craig could still be mean, Bruno can still be mad, Darcey can still letch after each good looking man and Anton could be the entertaining, friendly judge. You know, the one who celebs could respect a lot too because he knows the show extremely well, been there done it etc. I'd take a lot more from Anton's critiques than the others if I'm honest because he understands Strictly so well... He maybe qualified with ballroom, but knows precious little about Latin, especially the technique; he admits he dislikes it, which is his right, but more to the point he has no respect for it. I want to see a head judge who has a good knowledge of both ballroom AND Latin. And I'm not sure whether or not he gets on 'famously' well (really?) with the other judges has any bearing whatsoever. |

Prejudice - sometimes there are reasons. Like a few others on this forum, I've known Anton from the days when he was still known as Tony Beke. He maybe qualified with ballroom, but knows precious little about Latin, especially the technique; he admits he dislikes it, which is his right, but more to the point he has no respect for it.
And I don't think whether or not he gets on 'famously' well (really?) with the other judges has any bearing whatsoever. none of the present judges were household names prior to being located onto SCD apart from ballet lovers So let's have. a brand new panel of judges Do'nt tell me the dance world cannot offer up 3/4 entertaining knowledgeable New faces |

Some are claiming Australian judge Helen Richey could be the replacement as she meets all their diversity targets . Could be true as targets and quotas seem to rule today with companies .
http://metro.co.uk/2016/08/14/strict...odman-6066344/ She seems a good choice but its still only speculation . It could be someone completely out of left field . Whoever thought they'd pick a ballet dancer to replace Arlene . |

Craig has just said on breakfast tv that he does not want to be head judge; he likes his current role. He would like the role to go to an unknown ( presumably he means unknown to Strictly audience).
So either he is far more realistic about what is required than posters on here or he knows what the BBC have planned. |

If Helen Richey meets *every* diversity target then they don't have many of them.

I'm not keen on the 3 judges idea. We'd have so many more ties (which already affects the distribution of points too much) and you couldn't really compare scores across series if some dances are out of 30 and others out of 40.

Or he knows the BBC have been talking to several well known (in the dance world) Judges - think he is right about bringing soneone in from outside the Strictly or DWTS world

Does anyone have any idea on when we'll find out who the new judge is? |

I think the idea of liking the 3 judges idea comes from it would then be impossible to have a tie in the dance off, and therefore no need to have a head judge.

All four will be there. It's Len last year, so we are guessing who would replace him for next season.
I feel stupid now
