Look, leave the OP alone. This person puts in lots of time and effort into "dishing" SCD .
Those of us who love the show gain great pleasure from it.- we are lucky we have remote controls where we can change channels quickly to the joys that are X factor/ Parents being Matchmakers / on ITV.. The OP obviously does not have this luxury. Their pleasure is writing copious amounts of negativity on this forum. Then people (like me) who reply add fuel to the fire. Their number of posts increase/ they become experts and people bow down to their superior knowledge- they think. This happens on many forums. So do not deny them the satisfaction they gain from this .they can hardly bear to watch SCD now) so have to do something productive on a Saturday / Sunday evenings and weekdays with ITT? This week, they're Val Parnell/Lew Grade/Florenz Ziegfeld, sharing their experience as a showbiz mogul. We should all be grateful that this polymath is prepared to grace DS with their wisdom. |

Last night over ten million watched SCD only six million watched the dying X Factor.
X Factor has issues, the tinkering with hosts was a bit in the jigsaw. Tess and Claudia do a great job holding down a two hour live show. Changing it will annoy the majority of people and may kill the show like XF. It's great now the focus is on the dancing and talent, and a small amount of comedy. Where XF is bad it's it's unnatural focus on the judges, and hosts and not the talent. Bringing in any host other than Tess or Claudia will risk unbalancing the great show. It's great to see two female leads, why should they be replaced? Because thee isn't a man presenting? They do a fantastic job. With Len going there will be a change, we want evolution not revolution. |

Claudia is very good at instant comments and can cope with problems, whereas Tess seems to need a script to follow all the time. She keeps trying to get couples to get closer and far to close at times. Claudia is my favourite by far.

I agree. I liked Bruce but I also like both of the girls, so it's fine the way it is, for me anyway.

No it doesn't.
If even half the changes suggested by the SCD detractors were implemented it simply wouldn't be the programme that is smashing the ratings on a Saturday night - and that would be wrong too. Just chill, have a glass of wine and enjoy some light entertainment! |

I just wish Tess would shut the heck up from time to time.

Yeah Tess needs to go.
Claudia is fine, she can improvise, she can ad-lib and has a warm personality which comes across as genuine which is the total opposite of the Tess-bot. I would replace Tess with Anton. He has the personality and charm, knows his dancing so can intelligently defend the dancers if the judge's barbs get too harsh and would play off Claudia brilliantly, I'd also replace Len with Karen Hardy and make her head judge. Keep the other three so there's a nice balance across the judging styles. |

Nah. I'm not a fan of Claudia (and Tess to a lesser extent), but the show is still majorly successful and a lot of people still love them.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. |

I think Claud and Tess do a much better job than Bruce and Tess because unlike Bruce neither attempts to hog the limelight at every opportunity.
The jokes are just as bad but the presenters just tell them (badly) they don't write them

As I write this, I doubt there's a cat in hells chance of anything being done as I doubt the BBC would have the nerve to replace female presenters without the PCC brigade falling all over them. g. I am very disappointed with the presenters, not so much Tessbot who we knew would be shit - and she has been. Bur Claudia and the her interviews - she cuts people off and is intent in getting the last word in. She's nothing to do with showbiz but is a journalist I'd love the BBC to make sure you get some proper presenters, because Tess and Claudia are shoals in the river that we have to get past... |

The problem with Tess is she has no charisma and comes across as fairly humourless and pedestrian.
She was better in the beautiful assistant role, although this is surely now an outdated concept! Claudia is intelligent funny and quick off the mark. Perfect for the Clauditorium but not quite right to present the whole thing. I'd like to see someone more amusing and reactive present, without it becoming all about them. A tricky task. Someone earlier said Wogan would've been perfect. But he was a one off! |

Nope.
The show is fine as it is. You don't change anything if it's a ratings winner. |

Tess is very capable, and talented, some confuse the Newszoids sketch with reality. t. |

Well, Len's leaving anyway after this series, but I don't agree about Hardy taking his place. Have you seen her on ITT? Darcy gets a lot of flack for swooning over hot contestants and scoring wrong when her hormones take over, but Karen is equally as guilty from what we see on ITT. If they were both together on the panel it would be unbearable. I say go to a three Judge panel and make Darcy head Judge.

Yes..... I know Len's leaving..... that was the point. I think she's great on ITT - I think she's got the right knowledge and is a true professional.
And yes she does have the experience and she is a professional dancer so has the knowledge. Now if she does get the big chair she might tone down her antics from ITT that have her fanning herself with her queue cards from time to time and take it more seriously and if she does then she would make a great Judge. My concern is if she carries on with the drooling over a hot male as Darcy does. We don't need two ladies suffering like that on the judging panel

I like Claudia but I find Tess incredibly boring and wooden. I remember when she took over from Cat on SMTV live and I had to stop watching.
