I've actually complained to the BBC because I found Len and Bruno to be the least professional and respectful - they talk over the other judges all the time and are extremely rude to their colleagues in general a lot of the time. Harsh comments are part and parcel of the cocktail that makes up strictly, along with overblown hyperbole, overmarking, and praise.

Craig and Arlene both find things to praise in dances, and for a 'technical judge' Len reacts emotionally to an awful lot of dances (Rachel's Jive for instance, it didn't wow me either, but he could have found a technical criticism rather than a general thing like that.)

I find that an awful lot of the time Craig will balance his comments with praise. And honestly, with some of the dancing, I'd have even less nice things to say than Craig.

If you want rainbows and unicorns blown up the arses of your celebrities, you send them on a talkshow, not a competition that is judged. Even if it is light entertainment, the judging is PART of the entertainment.
Agreed! In addition, I do find all this drivel about how JS was bullied off the show the most irritating tosh.

Seems to me most of the papers are writing utter crap which is so made up as they go along.

Clear them all out and get some professionals in..........

Anybody remember Donnie Burns and Gaynor Fairweather? They were on Come Dancing back in 80's ( i think). Have been waiting for them to turn up since SCD started.

Im sure there are a few dozen qualified judges who would give their right teeth to get the chance to be on SCD. Without the abuse or rudness.
There is only ONE qualified judge on the panel the rest are choreographers and a dancer. Im sure they are replaceable.
NEW BLOOD.
