I knew where Len's spontaneous, ill conceived comment came from while I was watching it. Arlene spoke to the mail on Monday:

"I know John is not making much effort. He just sits there and reads the paper. If it's all about personality why don't the girls just all throw off their clothes and the boys do a comedy dance?"

Of course Len didn't make a good impression and has a history of sporadically lowering the tone with his inappropriate phrases.
It would be so easy to keep himself popular that I am surprised he can't manage it. He only needs to remain dignified, and be the most sympathetic judge. But he's let his roles delude him about his importance and he raises his voice above the other judges instead.

I have to profess surprise about how Craig, a former drag queen and rent boy apparently, affects prudishness recently.

If its tied two judges all then it goes to phone votes...highest phone votes stays.

As I said, a dialogue between deaf people. A waste of time posting.

To be fair, most of us on this thread are making similar points. But know what you mean ... kinda. I have given up posting on the forum this series, probably give up reading now as well

Len's behaviour was apalling. I was actually shocked by that. I know they have some spats, possibly for entertainment value, but that was very much OTT. I think being "head judge" (whose stupid idea was that??) has gone to his head and he thinks he can order everyone around.

Get a grip, Len!

What happened?

I totally agree with you- perhaps they should rotate the head judge position from series to series. It has definitely gone to Len's head. Week after week, I watch the way he backs away when Bruno so much as opens his mouth. So Bruno is eccentric, so what?. Then Len barks whenever Craig dares to have a different opinion...

It's like Len thinks it's "The Len Goodman show"...

I agree completely.
