The judges lack of 'critique' infuriates me
There's no light & shade, it's all sunshine & roses & a ten from Len!. Its tainted what has otherwise been an enjoyable 1st series for me. It affects the whole show knowing each dance will score an 8 or above. Just think how much more interesting it'd be if they had to really fight for a good comment. Only Craig seems to give an assessment that isn't showered with praise. Even X Factor isn't this lenient & we all know the manupulation behind that

Have to blame the audience, they boo and hiss anything remotely negative. They even boo constructive criticism. So depressing.

Louise's Samba was praised by all the Judges and IMO was way over marked. Louise through out her Samba was looking at the floor & not one Judged picked up on this

The counter argument is that the show is trying to promote the celebrities and their successes rather than always criticizing their failures. The celebs will always have some faults in their dancing (compared to professionals). The narrative of the show is the same every year - celebs start off as untrained dancers and learn to become good dancers.

.Many on this forum have questioned the crazy number of draws we have been seeing this year in the final leaderboard when many dances are clearly not equal. In one week 8 of the 14 couples shared a rank with at least one other couple. That in part is caused by the judges using such a small range of marks as you have highlighted. |

That's why Len doesn't bother anymore because the audience have been told to boo any negativity The bit they record for Sunday, certain parts are recorded again and again, usually because the audience weren't enthusiastic enough . |

This was mentioned during Jameliagate! Apparently no-one stood for Peter's dance and they filmed a standing ovation again and added it in!

I wonder how much of that is encouraged by the producers?
On a serious note, I really don't know why the producers think it funny or even acceptable to encourage the audience to "boo" Len, when he is simply doing what he is paid to do - judge and offer critique and comments. To be honest, if I was on the panel as a Professional judge and the audience started booing when I started to talk, I really wouldn't be very happy about it - its really rude and disrespectful - but perhaps the pay compensates for that. Additionally, whilst they are booing, its clear that they are not even listening or trying to understand what he is talking about. I really dislike this and don't find it remotely amusing. |
