Shirley Ballas as head judge

[GiRTh]

What do you think so far.

[RileyH]

I like ha

[GiRTh]

What do you think so far.

Her comments have been quite positive but marks have been quite low.

[LaLaLand]

I like her, she's fair!

[GiRTh]

Dunno why there are two threads. CAn a mod merge them please

[smudgie]

Quite impressed with her so far.
Loving two females on the panel as well.

[BBUK-Fan]

Arlene Philips 2.0

[Adamw92]

She was alright, seemed to favour the men like Darcey though

[joeysteele]

Sorry,I found her a little tedious.
Not sure she will be a good choice really.

However, I cannot really fairly judge her on just one show.

[stewartf]

She was alright, seemed to favour the men like Darcey though
Clearly has a thing for Joe McFadden, let herself down with that ten.

[hijaxers]

What do you think so far.

Love her

[stewartf]

Love her

Me too, forgive her one dodgy scoring.

[joeysteele]

I still don't know really.

She's probably no worse than the others but I already feel it's unwise to have her as head judge.

[GoldHeart]

From what I've heard she's another biased idiot , giving Joe a 10 is stupid :shocked:

[Vanessa]

Her scoring is all over the place. A 7for Susan? A 10for Joe? :conf:

[Livia]

Nice to see two women on the panel, one prima ballerina and one ballroom champion. I like Shirley... still miss Len though.

[Vanessa]

I don't get why she likes Simon so much. He's rubbish :conf:

[Matthew.]

Iconic, Shirley for CBB21 plz

[Livia]

I don't get why she likes Simon so much. He's rubbish :conf:

He IS rubbish! Who have you got your eye on Ness?

[GoldHeart]

I don't get why she likes Simon so much. He's rubbish :conf:

Is she favouring Simon as well?? For godsake ! :facepalm: :notimpressed: .
This is why I avoid the main show, I can't stand favouritism and biased unfairness, Shirley must fancy Joe & Simon by sounds of it :bored:

[Cherie]

It never ceases to amaze me why this show is so popular, its the same dances on repeat

[Livia]

I thought everyone liked Strictly! It's my two hours every week where no one talks to me, no one calls, no one visits... because they know they'd be ignored.

[Vanessa]

Aston. I think he's amazing :lovedup:

[Livia]

Aston. I think he's amazing :lovedup:

Awww we disagree this time.

Bring back Jay! LOL...

You know, I still think Jay's jive is my favourite Strictly dance of all time.

Fair enough, Joe was great last week. But Simon is always rubbish and she always praises him. :facepalm:

[Vanessa]

I know they all have their favourites, but Shirley scoring is always inflated so much for those she likes. :notimpressed:

[stewartf]

Definitely inflated just lately. I thought some of the best routines came early doors but the judges stayed their hand, then Joe Mcfadden's ten rather made a nonsense of their early caution.

Fwiw I thought Aston's troll cha cha cha was the most perfectly executed dance thus far. It came early on so only got 35, this week it would have no doubt scored 39 or 40. In other words the judges are raising their scores to make it look like progress is being made.

[Cherie]

I have tried to hard to like it, I put it on and then I get bored after half an hour and switch over to Cannonball which is even worse :laugh:

[Livia]

LOL...

My Dad pretends not to like it but then he'll be watching and he'll say stuff like, that should have been a heel lead... or ... nice fleckle! Even HE likes it so I reckon you should give it a good hard try. Maybe take a drink every time Craig rolls his eyes, make it more interesting.

[Vanessa]

Aston trolls routine was incredible and deserved higher scores. It was almost perfect. Veey worthy of 9s and 10s

[King Gizzard]

Horrific

Has her favourites, more favourable towards the men than the women

Arlene vibes

[Patricia4]

She is she favouring Simon he should of gone because he fell over OK Brian wasn't that good but better then Simon.

[Nicky91]

her favouring Simon, yeah she might find him a nice person but be honest

[chuff me dizzy]

Cannot bear the woman, but I disagree with her fav being Simon,her fav is Debbie ,the ridiculous standing up " Come here, Im giving you my Latin Queen title " Sit down silly cow

[Cherie]

yep cringe

[chuff me dizzy]

yep cringe

Anton should have got her job ,she's too biased

[Nicky91]

Cannot bear the woman, but I disagree with her fav being Simon,her fav is Debbie ,the ridiculous standing up " Come here, Im giving you my Latin Queen title " Sit down silly cow

i didn't know charleston was considered a latin dance :eek:

[joeysteele]

I've now decided she seems too biased.
I'd rather have Len than her.

No way should she be head judge either.
So I don't think she fits here at all now.

[Vanessa]

Hi chuff. Did you like Aston paso? Wasn't it amazing? Should have got the perfect score. :wavey:

[chuff me dizzy]

i didn't know charleston was considered a latin dance :eek:

Me neither !!

[chuff me dizzy]

Hi chuff. Did you like Aston paso? Wasn't it amazing? Should have got the perfect score. :wavey:

Astons troll dance was the best dance Ive ever seen on SCD ,but as usual he was under-marked as he doesn't have a sob story

[Nicky91]

yes i think Len would've given Mollie higher scores, just for basic dance content, which he likes if i can remember it well


i also think Joe wouldn't have gotten a 10 for his paso from him ;)


Len has been a good non-biased strictly Judge, maybe Shirley is just inexperienced in this new judging role

[Vanessa]

Astons troll dance was the best dance Ive ever seen on SCD ,but as usual he was under-marked as he doesn't have a sob story

True. I hope he has the Argentine tango next. It could be a show stopper.

[chuff me dizzy]

He will have to fake cry to get a 10

[Vanessa]

He will have to fake cry to get a 10

He got two 10s for the paso, so I'm hopeful :laugh:

[GoldHeart]

He got two 10s for the paso, so I'm hopeful :laugh:

:cheer2: Aston should get all 10's

[stewartf]

Mentioned it on the main thread...Shirley looked hot with that retro hairstyle and choker tonight. She can be my head judge any day.
