Holland Italy and the USA all have judging panels who can keep it nice - although Carrie Anne Inaba from the US DWTS can be a touche acidic at times - but she's a ballroom dancer so can talk from a position of knowledge.... but even she let Jerry Springer off lightly with some of his performances and she's considered to be the nasty one over there!

And it wouldn't have killed Craig to give her a 6 - she was considerably better - and in this sort of competition - half points are really surplus to requirements

I have watched the American version of SCD courtesy of Raphael's wonderful website.....and all I can say is thank god for our "nasty" judges. The so called much "feared" Carrie-Ann Inaba fawns over the celebrities and rewards mediocrity with high marks in much the same way Len does over here. I'm surprised to see that Len is a much STERNER judge by comparison.

Also the American version has the really annoying habit of handing out perfect scores of 10 like they were smarties and it's not as if the dances are really that exceptional. In the four years of SCD only Jill Halfpenny and Darren Gough have achieved perect scores (altho I still maintain Darren's perfect score was dubious to say the least). Last year on DWTS the eventual winner scored a perfect score TWICE in the same series ...and so did his rival Staci Keibler ...I smell the hand of network interference
