Very funny.. But I do feel if she had been a little more thinner and fitter that year she could have got him to the final...

Think she let him down badly
Could have been worse, could have referred to her first celebrity partner as a complete lazy cow.

Oh wait that was James who said that about his celebrity.

Think having Jordan ,Anton and Hardy, Brendan as Judges would probably the start of the nails in the coffin for Strictly. Ian Waite also gets on my nerves the way him and zoe go on pass me a bucket !!

I just listen to him on twitter and he does seem to be more fairer than the judges we have at the moment who without wanting to be disrespectable are cheating every week
He obviously dislikes Kevin and Karen a lot so it would merely introduce a different type of bias. If they ever leave then maybe otherwise no way.

IMO James would turn people off SCD. I find him really annoying.

Many moons ago, James (and Ola) were judges on Dancing on Wheels, a wheelchair ballroom dancing competition on BBC 3. James proved himself to be knowledgeable, sensible and sensitive as a judge of disabled people.. If he was given the strictly judging spot, then a lot of people could be very surprised. It won't happen though.

Yes, totally agree. He was very good when presenting behind the scenes, on ITT. Very natural in front of the camera. And he knows his stuff (obviously).

Preferable to Hardy, du Beke, Cole etc...

No. Hes too bitter and would have a bias against some pros.

Please no. He seems to have an extremely negative view of the show and is openly negative on twitter about the pros. His wife had a spat with one of the currently serving pros... there would just be too much negativity and bias.

I'm not totally against an ex pro coming back (love Ian Waite a lot, I think he has a lovely presence on camera) but I think they will go with someone older and who judges or has judged competitions.

I agree when he speaks on Twitter this always comes across as knowledgeable and kind and honest

I vote Tom2512 to replace Len - he's just as likely to be chosen as James, but I prefer his sense of humor.

No freaking way - I liked him originally probably because he danced like I might euthanistically but with no sense of rhythm. I think she did well to work along with him and give his dances a fun character that got him through three weeks and helped him outlast Gaby Logan - sadly though cheeky chappie paso isn't really something that even Lilia could make work and with her father dying her patience probably worn too thin to try although his streak of delusions of grandeur that emerged that week doomed him. Even so he would never have made the final - not with Alesha, Gethin and Matt DA around and when even Kenny Logan and Leticia Dean were better and more popular than he was.

I'd like to see judges who can demonstrate a few moves, not just sit there like Darcy does saying that people waft their arms gracefully, or Bruno falling off his chair or Craig telling someone that his thumb was sticking up. So bring on James, Anton, Karen and Ola. Ian Waite to replace Tess.
I think it is now Darcy's stock advice to lengthen their arms I just find her so boring. I think Wayne Sleep would be a better judge than she is. He is down to earth, he's got a personality, comes across as being very likeable and was a fantastic ballet dancer to boot. Him, James Jordan, Arlene Phillips and Bruno get my vote.

Dear Tom 2512, this really isn't a bad suggestion.

But first you would have to cull approximately 60% of the female posters on this Forum and on Twitter and Facebook and other social media, because it became very trendy to dislike this guy for his forthright speech, and so many of them have failed to move on, or learned how to climb down off their Pedestals of Righteousness.

I am def not one of the approx 60% of the female posters then - because I really like his forthright speech - which makes a refreshing change - and he is a very good prof dancer too.

Actally, I think first you would have to hand him the materials and tools to build a bridge to the SCD PTB and make sure that he does not have access to Zip firefighters for an inadvertent reburning.

I have just watched Len's DVD and James has been wiped from history. Not shown once so non of his partners got a look in. Ola was in a couple of dances.

I remember Dancing on Wheels - it was made by Brian Fortuna (well, by a production company but he was the driving force I think). James and Ola were judges as was Ade Adepitan. Actually I thought Ola was a much better judge than James. She was a lot more instinctive and natural in her responses to the dances whereas James seemed to be trying too hard to be authoritative and obviously fancied himself in charge.

Now why does that not surprise me.

The only pro that Len ever openly despised so it's hardly surprising.

No they don't, I agree with him and disagree totally with you. The Jordans were nowhere near the best pro couple.
