Default Is Strictly ruined? (Telegraph article)

Len Goodman complained that Anita and Gleb’s delightful foxtrot was too much like an American Smooth. Exactly the same could be said about Kellie and Kevin’s Viennese Waltz the previous week, which contained two illegal lifts and almost no Viennese Waltz. Yet that dance got rave reviews and four nines.

For the past 2 years the show has been a mess
And this year is the worst and beyond a joke , Len can go suck a lemon
He's a senial old goat and the BBC is sexist because they booted Arleen off as she got older yet Len is still there !

And it's laughable that he's the head judge when he's inconsistent like the rest of the judges and he moans and complains about all the good dancing. Therefore he hasn't a clue what he's talking about
And the best thing is for the whole show to get axed but I doubt BBC will do that

They're probably already booking celebs for next year

Even if it's true which I doubt,what difference does it make????
The show is already ruined plus the rest of the judges would still be there and they're a bunch of dumb idiots
I'm not interested in the show and Im avoiding the final and I won't watch it next year

The only judge that's professional on the show is Craig, Bruno's a laugh but highly unprofessional with his comments, the other two judges can go as far as I'm concerned.

And no offense to Tess but I don't feel that she suits the Bruce role, I would get her back up stairs and put Claudia in the Bruce role as she has more charisma to pull the whole shtick off, they've give Tess a try in that role and it hasn't worked.

Time he did, he doesn't give a fair analysis of the content now and expects near perfection and the rigid rulings being imposed of the dance in question.

What has happened to ballroom and Latin over the years is that some crossovers as to other dances can be incorporated into other routines partly too.

This is what modern professional dancers do,sadly with Len,he does not like that and because he cannot move with the age and times, then it is time to go.
He also should never have the man casting vote as to who goes too in a tied situation.

Saturday,seeing Anita and Gleb out over Katie and Anton was sadly for Strictly,one of the biggest turnarounds and farces on the show ever.
Katie did improve in her routine a little but that still as it had by the judges after the main event,left Anita and Gleb way ahead of her and Anton.

If only the judges had decided this,on Saturday and not the public too, then Katie and Anton were bottom of the board over the 2 dances anyway so would have been out by the judges.
Nothing really changed things in the dance off so many are right to be not only angry but very puzzled too.

I have said before,I watch Strictly with the dance teacher who taught me to sort of dance 'properly' as they call it.
She was stunned Anita and Gleb were voted out as she said Katie hardly did anything different at all from her first routine.

I disagree! because its all corrupt
And all the judges are unprofessional!!!! Craig tries to be difference by pretending he's the technical expert but really he's just as sly and dirty as the other judges!! and plenty of times his comments have been a load of crap and he's basically a miserable old troll

remember people use to think Len was the fair judge and he behaves like a mentally ill patient who forgets to take his medication

so imo all the judges are a bunch of useless dirty toolbags !
they all pee me off , Darcey tries to play innocent by pretending she's being polite but she's a cow
Bruno is as high as a kite and seems to think his theatrical behavior is funny but he's an idiot

i'm soo tired of Lens lens on the results show all it does is give Len a big head and the moron thinks he's an expert when really he's a ugly dinosaur who probably forgets what date it is
