Strictly judges

[chirpychirpy]

The tabloids claim Alesha Dixon is unhappy that Darcey Bussell has joined the judging panel on Strictly for the final rounds of this series, especially now there's talk that the move may be made permanent. If Alesha is really moaning, how hypocritical is she considering she had no qualms about replacing Arlene? Personally, I can't stand Alesha ("you woz brilliant!") or Darcey (with her Disney-esque nose and posh voice) and wish they'd disappear for good. It seems both were brought in to satisfy today's TV hunger for attractive young women and to compete with Cheryl Cole on The X Factor panel. But surely that caters for mostly male viewers on a programme watched mainly by women. In this pathetic quest, I believe the Strictly bosses have come close to destroying one of TVs most successful shows ever. I wish they'd left the judging panel exactly as it was prior to this series. How about you?

Absolutely,well said.

agreed - although I dont think Darcey is that bad. Aleshas grammer really gets to me. Len has said that she will probably be concentrating on her singing career after this series and I thought the beeb were in contact with arlene again. Although Karen Hardy would be a good replacement either !

Yes lets have Arlene back. I am sick of" Little Miss Know All " Alesha Dixon. Her criticism must irritate the Professional partners of the contestants.She should go back to singing and dancing.Seems like now the only reason she went on the show was to promote her music and the BBC have not done that for her. And if she is going to continue Judging in future she needs to take elocution lessons to learn to speak properly and with the correct grammar. Darcy Bussell is another irritation on the programme. She is a Ballerina not a Ballroom dancer and there is a vast difference in the technique. Agree Karen Hardy would be a good judge too.

I agree, let's have the original panel of judges. They know what they are talking about.
