I am not a huge Brendon fan but I have to admire him for his comments to the judges.

I believe that Arlene has lost the plot as far as the male contestants are concerned. Can't she be proffessional and distance herself from them and stop making lurid comments.

craig apart from his obviouis favouritism for emma, he seems to be consistant.

Len is being meanier but I believe he is trying to keep a balance.

And bruno is bruno and over the top as usual.

I think next series they need to shake up the judges, and maybe bring in Angela Rippon or Rosemary Ford

I agree with him that the judges are totally eratic, to give Georgina an 8 for a pretty obviously mediocre dance is stupid and the marking often just doesn't make sense.

But Ray wasn't better than Mark, Ray's posture was weird and it just wasn't a great dance so I didn't think Brendan was right about that.

Plus I think it was unprofessional of him to bring other dancers into it...

But I did sympathise with his frustration.

True, Ray's Paso wasn't better than Mark's, the faces he pulled during the routine, killed it for me as well, as the weird posture. The music was also awful ( but we can't blame Ray for that, since that part is out of his hands.) I agree, that giving Georgina an 8 was quite weird, yes she DID improve,...but not that much that she deserved an 8.

Brendans outburtst was s[pot on1! and he deserves a lot of respect for that!

Yeah Brendan's outburst was spot on...

He was a bit off with the Ray comment but I think that's all down to personal opinon really... And I think it was mainly because he was slated that he got annoyed... He is after all dancing with Camilla ...

He has a habit of saying what we all feel sometimes though ... Good on him...

I know bringing in others performances was a bit off but when you are angry, frustrated, heat off the moment you do lose your head a bit, but as he is saying what all think, ray and camilla would not take have taken it heart after camilla does know brendan very well

It's Karen Hardy (his current dance partner) who he insulted not Camilla.

was it? to be honest I was cheering too loudy when he started to hear the full rant, but it doesn't matter what was said about who everyone knows brendon and that he wasn't being calious for once.

Brendan seemed to have support from his fellow competitors - I'm sure they were pleased that someone had the guts to say hat they were all thinking. Arlene's 4 points showed how right he was in what he said. That was petty and unprofessional.

I thought it was a little unprofessional for Brendan to bring it up when and how he did, but his sentiments were mostly correct.

he didn't insult Karen. By saying someone elses dance is better isn't insulting Karen. If he'd said her dance was crap then that would be an insult but he didn't.

I find arlene has not been proffessional once this series. I think Stacy Raines is it from dance fever would be alot better than her.

I agree with Brendon. I know nothing about ballroom/ latin dancing however I expect the marking to be more consistant. There should only be 1 mark difference between the judges because I expect them to recognise what a good or bad dance is and mark accordingly. There should not be such a difference of opinion.

If you put all the comments the judges gave in the past few weeks one can easily understand Brendan's frustration and it's difficult not to agree with him. The judges are hopeless, even Len (in fact the worst tonight), who is supposed to be the fairest. The comment he gave to the Clare and Brendan in last week and this week were the most contradictory of all. What's wrong with Len?

He unnecessarily brought her into his strop, I can't see how she would be happy with that.

How did he bring her into his strop he didn't mention her name.

He was angry that the judges marks were inconsistant. Thats fair enough shes enough of a professional to appreciate another professionals opinion I think.

What I want to know is how the HELL was Brendan and Claires foxtrot worth a 4!!! I thought it was amazing...

I thought the judges put the scores down first so she woulda marked it before he had his 'rant'...

Sorry I know a bit off topic but meh...

exactly. Last week he said no more raunchiness this week he says stick to the sexyness. I'm not suprised Brendan was frustrated. They didn't give any sort of constructive critisism at all.

well not really off topic as it proved he was right in his comments

I wouldn't say it was amazing, or even very good, but it did deserve probably a 6.
Not a 4, though.

I think things had got to a point where something had to be said!

The marking is horrendous and most of the judges seem to have scored the dances before anyone gets onto the floor. I'm sorry Emma and Darren fans, but how can they point out that she did the wrong footwork throughout the whole dance and that she has inferior posture and then give it 30. I admit the choreography was wonderful, but that's down to the professional and not the talent of the celebrity. I'm sorry but those marks were way too high and that was just one of the dances. No wonder the pros are annoyed.

(I'm not picking on Darren and Emma it's not their fault, I'm justing using this example to show how bad the judges are!)

If you go on what is said in other weeks, your top half is great but footwork poor 5/6 points how can they justify the 8s?

I can sympathise with Brendan. He is a great dancer, he loves to win and they gave a good performance tonigh.

Where as claire did the entire routine with heel leads! emma did NONE!!! AND GOT EIGHTS!!! WTF!???

WE need to protest!!
