JLS can sing though ( well one can) JS could barely move at more than 2 MPH.

Simon also wants JLS to go on because he is interested in getting a group under management. He's not convinced Rachel can go anywhere as I read him. Ultimately it doesn't matter as he is interested in other people for the final anyway and as his winner and they are doing OK in the public vote. SCD is very different . On X factor the joke candidate Daniel failed to get the public support and went out - on SCD it all went wrong and JS who was far worse at what he was meant to be doing started getting a winning lead. Desperate measures were needed to get SCD back into a dancing compettion. X factor remains under Simon's control - more so probably than last year as there doesn't seem to be a Leon getting the votes.

The American audience is more conservative and would not appreciate the comments made on British TV. I find it interesting that both Len and Bruno are toned down on Dancing with the Stars and cannot believe that someone like Marie Osmond (who was on the show last year) would accept some of the vile comments made to John for example or to the other British celebs. Who wants to be humiliated on national TV by so called Judges who fight between themselves, shout each other down and are now frantically backtracking about their ill advised comments about John!! I hope they are all fired from the show.

I find Len and Bruno more critical on DWTS, but the language is toned down. Their marks are quite generous compared to what they say though.

BTW there's an article in DM that BBC consider axing Craig and Arlene

I would rather aim a bit more to the right, Len became really grumpy this season and I find it much worse than Craig's criticism.

at least in X Factor they aren't pretending that 'it's all about the singing' because it hasn't been for years

it's all about WHAT WILL SELL - exactly the same as SCD, and John Sergeant sold better than anyone else

i think Len's comment to Christine about throwing her knickers in the air followed by a fight with Craig where Arlene nearly got knocked off her chair was terrible for a family show!

But it had me in hysterics and hopefully they will totally implode in the coming weeks and we will have a massive punch up!!!!

If I am honest, the only judge I would keep is Bruno because I think he is great fun and he does bring some much-needed lighter moments to what has become a weekly debarcle!

Did you see him doing Saturday Night Fever with Lisa? Shake you booty Bruno!

I thought Craig was a saint when he managed to stay so calm while Len was raging there, but maybe he enjoyed setting him off like that
