I'm rather ambivalent about Brendan so I don't really share that view. I think he just irritates Len with his wanna be celebrity and playing the 'bad boy'. Len wants to see some 'proper' dancing and I'd agree with him that Brendan sometimes tries tricks and gimmicks to win which don't come under this category.
Bruno's off his damn rocker and I find it hard to take him seriously at all so that's probably why he doesn't bother me.
Craig is pretty decent most of the time now he's stopped the pantomime villain act. He's usually harsh but fair.
Arlene is just vile - I didn't doubt that he was good but her 'I lose all perspective when I watch you dance' comment to Mark last year REALLY pissed me off. She's supposed to be an objective judge not a horny teenager. If you can't keep perspective then clear off and let someone else who doesn't score with their hormones judge.
All the judges have their moments but she is the worst repeat offender to me.

I'll never forget Bruno admitting that he gave Emma a 9 just to save her from being in the bottom two!
