It annoys the hell out of me too - I find that very insulting, particularly when it is warranted AND a constructive comment is being made. Too often the constructive part has been drowned out by boo's.

Other than her crass comments which have little to do with humour, I loathe the way she has favourites and does her best to push them at the expense of others. Bruno is guilty of that also.

I think when it comes to the booing Bruce is partly to blame for that as well, he seems to encourage the audience to do it. Maybe the judges need to make their comments the other way around. The constructive critisim first, then followed by any insults, then we'd hear what we want to hear and the other bit would be drowned out.

Indeed she is not!

"The rumba should be like dancing on hot coals but it was a bit coals to Newcastle via Leeds."

That makes NO SENSE!!!!

I think her HRT dosage needs adjusting, she was struggling to string a coherent sentence together on saturday.

(Now I have to answer differently depending on your gender)

If your a man: 'That was sexy, spendid, spectacular, you are like a lion prowling the great plains of Africa, regal and sexy (?) - I'm sorry, I just lose all prespective when I hear you talk'



If your a woman: That was pointless, precocious and overly pronounced. You were like a bus lumbering down the street on route to Euston, via Lewisham. You should have been like a Giselle and you were like a heavy potato. In two words: Rubbish.

*Then waves in excitment at her pre-planned punchline* ' Your name is Mcdancing feet - it should have been Mccrappy talk.
*Looks around with enormous smile at her own genius*”


LOL

So very very astute!

This actually made me laugh out loud! Absolutely spot on

Well, Claudia, if you're reading this, PLEASE ask Arlene tonight why she feels the need to be so unnecessarily personal! I for one would like to see her explanation!

I second that! Personally I feel almost as if Arlene has decided she will get more publicity if she is overly personal. Remember that she wasn't originally, but Craig was a bit and he got loads of attention for it. Now he has pulled back and she is raging like a 'mad bull whose got his horns in a twist' - my god, I'm so pissed off at Arlene I can't seem to stop spouting the kind of rubbish she would use! lol!

OMG just logged back in and read this!

I am crying with laughter

Sadly Austen I am a pointless, precocious, bus travelling potato

You have really cheered my day up.

Ahhh - your a bus...I thought as much!

Never mind - at least as a woman you won't have Arlenes saliva all over you as she drools at your 'hot, horny hips'!

Totally agree!! Show them the door!

Yet - Bruce and Tess should go (although thats another topic altogether and one which would vent an out pouring of steam from me!lol!) And get some different presenters and a different judge - love the idea of using a proffessional dancer - I'm not a big Karen fan, but she has said in the past she's been a judge at competitions...so she might be really good!

Actually I just thought - on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHGt5nlCdrM

there is the judges commentary and it sounds like that's Karen doing the expert commentary - she's seems okay!

At least with Craig, you know that he genuinely dislikes everyone- until they prove him wrong.”

All I can say about (M)arlene is "those that can, do, those that can't, teach!"

I can't believe what I am about to type...I agreed with Craigs comment about Penny on ITT last nite Am I the only one who is not too smitten with the Lancaster (tall)one? Lovely personality etc but I've yet to be erm entertained (?) by her performances

Loving Alesha on and off the show

Barnesy, Dom and Willie very entertaining hope all three manage to stay in for a bit longer

How relaxed and very fit is Erin looking this year

My suggestion to the producers of SCD if you are planning any more "specials" how's about the judges dancing (hoping they won't be short of willing professional partners/celebrities down on their luck!!!) to ALL of the categories that they have given the celebrities
