I agree with the poster who said there was no need for a third judge, which gives rise to all the "Head Judge" tie-breaker nonsense. Having said that, I suspect when Len goes some people will argue that the show will need a ballroom expert, as none of the other judges have this specialism.
My preference would be for another female judge - echoing the balance of male and female that exists in ballroom dance generally. Karen Hardy's name often comes up, but there are any number of former pros who could fit the bill. Erin Boag, Camilla Dallerup, Flavia Cacace or two-times winner Aliona Viliani?
I have a soft spot for Iveta Lukosiute myself, but I'd be happy to see any of the above. Let's face it, the bar's extremely low: Len's a grumpy old so-and-so and Alesha Dixon was a total joke of an appointment.
