I agree with your comments but I'd make a few minor changes to the numbers, so:
CRAIG - 7
ARLENE - 4
LEN - 4
BRUNO - 7
I never used to like Craig but I've noticed in the past few weeks that while his comments on each performance usually begin with criticism, he nearly always adds a positive comment or two at the end, which the other judges don't all make a point of doing.
I respect Arlene as a choreographer. I don't like her as a judge. She's coming across as very unpleasant these days.
I've completely lost whatever respect I previously had for Len. The way he lost his temper with Craig this week was completely unprofessional and absolutely uncalled for.
Bruno's been hilarious this series. A welcome bit of light relief after the unpleasantness of the other judges.
Tbh, after the whole
insanity that was Sergeantgate, I wouldn't object too strenuously if none of them came back but I wouldn't really have a problem if they all came back. I'm not sure how well replacing any of the judges would work out.
