Is Len building his part?

I'm getting really tired of Len this series.

Week after week he shouts over the other judges and tells them to shut up.

He told brendan to shut up and that he was there to dance not speak.

He gave John Barnes a 10 for a dance that clearly wasn't 'the best dance so far!'

He's turning the entire judges vote into a farce.

Agreed, he is a stupid old duffer with an over inflated ego.

Thats constructive criticism
Didn't you complain on another thread earlier about the negative comments on this forum. Pot,kettle,black. See below for what you said earlier.

"There is way too much personal attack on here of Celebs, pros and other posters. Makes you wonder what these people are like in reality, some people seem to practically live on here, dont they have other things to do?"

I think brendan's the one trying to build their part, Len's a judge, that's what he's doing, even if he's doing it badly.

That's ridiculous, what have Brendan done to suggest that he's trying to build his part? The judges are there to judge the performance, not to bully dancers!

Len is the one getting all those complaints, not Brendan

I quite like all the sparks flying all over the place!

I'm sure it'll only serve to make Brendan raise his game anyway (it was a bit of a crappy routine) so it'll probably work in his favour anyway.

Brendan's been doing for the last x-number of series, he thinks he's bigger and better than he is with his beheviour on and off the dance floor, this year he has a competent dancer and he's still not happy, stupid illegal lifts, sulking, calling the judges names, bad boy of dance my a*se. the guy will never be happy whether he has a good partner or bad and that's because he's generally not up to much.

Len is beginning to believe his own hype.

Amazingly, by some decree, Len is head judge. That position should give him some gravitas, but he seems to like getting into hissy fits with Arlene and Bruno. He should let them get on with acting like Children, and behave like a head judge.

I think Len adds a little stability to the judges, of course if the programmers want to promote his character they will push him one way or another.

Surely people realise how much control is going on behind the scenes. These programs are fine tuned by directors to aim for maximum ratings.

Len's been believing his own hype for a few years now.

We are all manipulated by TV directors ! but with Strictly people tune in to see the celebs. X-factor needs to try more and more desperate things for ratings as the show is made up of a dozen or so nobody's, who even if they win can be destined to languish in some twilight world of infamy/ fame (Steve).

I watch because of Gethin, Camilla, Kelly, Brendan, Darren, Letitia etc, and Craig too. Not because of Len.

I'm thoroughly bored by Len this series. His talking over people is tiresome and his marking this series is the most inconsistent of the judges, IMO. Perhaps the jet lag is taking its toll. I wouldn't be sorry to see him retire from Strictly.

Well, he is the head judge.

Yeah, well he's got a point - mainly the celebs should be talking during the interviews, and the pros should be doing the dancing.

Yes, it was OTT - but nothing like as bad as Bruno's 10 in LiftGate.

He's been grumpy this season, but he's still the most constructive-comment oriented of them all.

I hated the way the Fonz thought Len was a star.

Talk about letting that get to his head.

The dancers, celebs and judges have all become as boring and as bad as each other.

'Lost in showbiz' the lot of them - they all need a kick, the programme has been and could still be so right but is currently more fun to mock

I am hoping that Len will stop being so grumpy once Dancing With The Stars has finished and he is not jetting across the Atlantic twice a week.

I seem to remember last year he started off ok then got grumpy and tired but the last few weeks were an improvement.

But now he's interrupting Arlene and Craig when its their turn and not letting them have their say when he doesn't agree with them. Shouting over them.

Brendan and Kelly were actually quite restrained considering the finger pointing and ranting which is more than grumpy.


Constructive comments + effort points to mid table couples ie Kenny and Letitia is not good, fair judging and sets a bad example as head judge.

Brendan was extremly restrained! and you could see that he was biting his lip! and kelly was trying to calm him down!
