Bruno's bias is FAR worse (and I don't dislike him but seriously...) so nope.

Disagree - I normally love Darcy but she is showing blatant favourtism for Ore and has done throughout the series

As we're approaching the end of the series, I can only imagine she's trying to attract a bit of attention, she's been pretty bland so far throughout.
Tonight she seemed a bit out of character. I guess she wants to be invited back next year.

I think the bias is because of the "no dance/music/rhythm experience" card. It is a difficult one - someone with no experience versus a pop singer with some dance experience, a gymnast and a Danny Mac. How do you call or judge that?

Sometimes I wonder if she has thought about her critique before opening her mouth. Seems to babble and go off on tangents a lot.

She is the worst judge because she didn't give Claudia a 10? That's so silly

She's so harsh on Claudia, usually I don't have a problem with her but the constant nitpicking when it comes to Claudia, yet overlooking faults of other couples gets on my nerves. Tbh the judges marking are all over the place, they either undermark or overmark.

Or maybe he just appeals to her taste. Dance is subjective and a certain amount of likeing or not cannot be quantified. I accept that Louise's samba was packed full of content and that it was well executed but I didn't like it. I know that Ed's Ganglam Style had ef all to do with salsa but I did like it.

Completely disagree.

Darcey has dance gravitas. Darcey is consistent (most of the time). Darcey is constructive.

Well, you say that, but I've done several analyses over the years*, and found Bruno to be the fairest of all the judges - and Darcey the least fair. Didn't do it this year, but I would doubt that's changed all that much.

* Analysed by comparing each judge's scores with the other judges' scores, the results posted in this forum.

Really gone off her this series because of the blatant favouritism for Ore.

I'd rank her above Alesha but that's it.

Well, she managed to under-score Craig and the other judges twice tonight, so that raises a red flag for me.

Darcey was spot on with her comments this evening. I thought she was the only consistent judge. For voters who want to vote on the dance content without much knowledge of it, heaven only knows how they work it all out via the judges scores.

Most people who criticise Darcey can't even spell her name. Not in this case, but usually. Having met Darcey on numerous occasions I can vouch for the fact that she has plenty to say, and that she's had a sharp learning curve. It's been the same for her tv presenting. If you watch any of her shows over Christmas you'll see how far she has come and how much more natural she is now. It takes time. I recall Gary Lineker had the same sort of journey when he started presenting and I'm sure there are loads of other examples. People are so quick to judge (pardon the pun).

I would have thought that her discipline being ballet and Claudia's being gymnastics, she would understand the difficulty in transporting to ballroom and latin. Her bias towards Ore is quite cringeworthy.

IMO she is a disgrace and gives scores to suit her biased opinions.
