Where Shirley does cross the line and I'm with you on this, is when she'll score a Fleur contestant the same as a Tony, Matt or James, and Hamza's not a great dancer either.

And I know that some of her fans on DS try to defend her by saying "she judges the individual contestant against their previous performances" which I get that to an extent, but overall Shirley is supposed to give the better dancer the better score on the night, otherwise it makes the leaderboard redundant.

Plus how was Richie's basic routine better than Fleur's more advanced routine? They both had flaws in their dancing so Shirley's argument against Fleur doesn't even hold up in the dance-off.

However tbf to Shirley, my biggest question to all of the judges is why was Tony below Ellie T, Matt & Hamza on the leaderboard when he at least put on a performance for the crowd, the other three just delivered stiff performances without even putting on a big show.

James also deserves the same defence as Tony tbf as well, his performance at least stoodout.

I understand judges will have a preference over who they like,but they still have to be fair & professional and judge it on merit and performance. I've said this a few times .. but I'm so glad I don't watch the main show ,as I can't stand the bias & confusing
inconsistent scoring .

And yeah the viewers will always have their favourites of course, as some celebrities are just more likable than others . Kim & Helen have that likeability where I can't help but smile when I see them perform . Tyler and Hamza have that aswell , although Tyler is a better dancer than Hamza.

I don't support Tony ,I know people find him entertainment,but I found his full monty routine cringe. Tbf I think his Charleston was probably his best dance so far . But he's still clearly the joke act.

Richie was the joke act aswell,and was stitched up with that ridiculous furry costume . You can tell when producers are taking the Mickey.

I cannot get behind Matt as he looks like he doesn't want to be there ,and he always comes across really stuff .

James' performance last week was so clumsy for me ,and again I'm not a fan .

Just imagine if Len back in the day gushed & favoured all the women & highly scored them ,it still would be unfair. He was actually a more fair judge than Shirley. And Len use to get on my nerves still. So it just shows how much worse Shirley actually IS.
