They were snapping at his heels like crocs, now he's gone they don't want the blame. Crocodile tears !

I thought there were quite a few hypocritical comments from the participants in tonight's It Takes Two.

Yes quite.
Most of the judges have become more self important over the years particularly Len. You can see it every episode how he talks over someone that has a different opinion to him. And Arlene and Craig have been true "rentamouths" on the subject of John. Only Bruno seems to have anything else to do with his life.
Anton Du Beck expressed it best tonight- he really couldn't waste his energy on this popularity v. dance thing after seeing Chris Parker get to the final in series one.
