my comment on the current judges

"power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

count me in on changing them!

Isn't demanding for all of the judges to be replaced a tad overdramatic? Must be all this Brand/Ross controversy that's making everyone so outraged over the slightest bit of controversy. I don't want the judges to go just because some people believe they were bullying John, I don't want people not to have opinions or have to curb what they are saying because some people might be mildly offended. It's just an entertainment show which is supposed to entertain people, I think everyone needs to calm down.

Definately ditch Arlene and Len.

Bruno I don't care about either way,, but I'd hate to see Craig go, he's the only one that marks with any credibility.

Although Bruno has been the only judge to publically state that John was entitled to his position on the show, I think a whole new panel is for the best.

Craig isnt a one-off by any means, he along with the rest of them are easily replaced.

yet another hysterical thread on here today - do you think in real competitions that judges far more qualified than any on the panel get it right or that everyone agrees with them???? because this is the REAL world and it just doesnt happen

I'd like to see some of the judges go, nothing to do with the John controversy, I just think they talk too much crap and get it wrong a lot of the itme.

I could hardly believe what Arlene was saying on Breakfast on Monday - that she belieived John was popular simply because he had no previous training, unlike most others taking part.

Arlene seemed to have no idea of the many reasons why the public were voting for him.

And her remarks about JS not doing any training but reading the newspaper most of the time couldn't be true - did he manage to do those dances, such as they were, just by reading a newspaper?

Not impressed either by Craig's bitchy reaction to Brian's knowledge on ITT last week either.

And lets get rid of James Jordan for good too. I don't mind it if celebs bitch back at the judges when they get booted off (which occasioanally happens), but for a pro to bitch at the public for not voting for someone the public doesn't like is a step too far.

But it doesn't so why would it say that

I think that there could be room for some "refreshment"

Ever since Bruno and Len have been jetsetting to the USA, their judging ability, imo had decreased. You only have to see their marking on DWTS to see why.

The amount of high marks given over there for complete garbage is astonishing, and again, it's only my opinion but I feel that their over-marking in the US has been brought home to the original SCD.

The only judge I feel is completely honest regardless how it affects peopleis Craig, and when watching the show he is the judge I agree with the most.

And just on the point of "bullying" did Christopher Parker yell bullying? No. Did Kate Garraway? No? I think the judges gave their opinion (albeit tactlessly in some cases) but it's not Strictly Come Hugging!

You train, you do your dance, the judges "judge" and the public vote. If you don't like that idea, Imo you shouldn't go on these shows at all.

I think that "Bullying" is absolutely the wrong word here.

You'll certainly receive my vote .

I don't mind Craig RH and Bruno T remaining on the Panel, but sadly, Arlene and Len have got to go!

I'd like to see John Sergeant as a judge next year!
