Yes, the judging is driving me spare! The judges go on ad nauseum that it is a serious dance competition yet the marking is as subjective as I am
I wonder if it is because Arlene, Bruno and perhaps Craig do not have enough experience in judging this type of dancing so their scores are less consistent than Lens. I'm sure Bendymixer can tell us if Arlene, Bruno and Craig are qualified as Ballroom judges. After all some of the pros are judges themselves so shouldn't they deserve to be judged by someone at least as proficient as they are if this is 'serious serious serious' as Arlene bangs on.
I'd like it if the panel would consistently, and as objectively as possible in this type of sport, judge the merit of the dancing and let us get on with the important work of deciding how much we loved it
