Isn't this supposed to be fun ? I'd now rather wish it had turned out how Bruce thought it would at the start a kind of genration game thing were the celebs kept falling over.

I have not enjoyed this season as much as I usually do.

However, on a good note, this season has had the new addition's of three fantastic professional dancer's in Brian, Kristina and Hayley.

I think the true nature of the show is getting abit lost with the egos, thats including some pro's and judges. When it looks like favouritism is being allowed via judging the public will step in for the underdog. If the judges did their job without all the trimming's they add, we wouldnt be in the state.

The show is fine, its the standard of judging which is the problem. When do you ever hear anything which the celeb can actually work on. When do you actually hear constructive feedback. Most if it is stupid one liner's hoping to get a laugh from the audience at the celeb sometimes the pros expense. Very sad no one has brought them to heel by now. Its not helping the show.

I have reclaimed my Saturdays and Sundays - this week its a party and a meal out. I don't really care who wins now because the whole thing has been tarnished by one massive bitch-athon aimed at a decent bloke who didn't deserve it.

Well equally I stopped watching after Darren won because I was so irritated that viewers voted the more talented dancers off leaving less talented ones in. I was wooed back last year by the judges veto of the dance off - and I'm delighted John's left.

If you can flounce off because one rubbish dancer left the contest - then you can never have been that interested in the first place.

I was just thinking this today! The problem with SCD atm is all the ego's flying around. You've got the judges, the dancers and the celebs. All people who have massive ego's. When those clash you obviously get what we've got now- a huge mess. Then you ask the public for their opinion to compound the problem further!!

The format I think will have to change. I can't see the phone voting staying in place. SCD has always relied on the viewers having their say, so by not letting them there will be concern the programme may suffer. But not all successful reality programmes have a phone vote. The Apprentice doesn't for a start.

Maybe that's the solution -dispense with the judges, hire Alan Sugar and get the bottom couples to plead their case for coming back next week before he fires one!! A radical solution maybe but it could work!! Except another big ego has just been added to the fray! Oh well....

Oh no.........Alan Sugar is awful.....

I would put the 4 new judges in a booth so they can not agree marks before hand. Then if we haved a consistantly bad judge they can be replaced. The public still vote so we get the mixture of dance and entertainment.
