I don’t think Craig and Motsi get on, she can be very loud and I’m sure it is irritating sitting right next to her. Also she is downright rude to him at times, literally shouting in his face that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He probably longs for the days of calm, elegant Darcey sitting with him.
I would hate him to leave, he’s the most honest judge and a 10 from him really means something.

I think he's looking slightly weary, but in a 'oh god does she ever stop talking' sort of way, not a 'oh god I can't stand her, she's a shedemon from hell' kind of way, so for now I'm gonna assume if whatever the poster claims about her is true, it's an issue with a specific person and not a pattern of being awful to everyone.

I fear Nikitas back and knees will give out soon… for years hubby laughs when I say “Craig will say his bottom is sticking out” and he does… at weekend hubby asked if crouching Nikita with bottom out would get a telling off .. I said the pro had no choice.. his posture is attrocious for obvious reasons … It looks ridiculous.. Sorry but I hope she goes soon… now back to reading and hoping for tea☕️

I enjoyed his autocue readings but his cutesy excited puppy whilst looking like action man was getting weary.
If he's a good at acting as Janette is good at presenting no amount of 'manifesting' is getting him a part of a silent extra let alone a real script.

But I liked him and would prefer him back if only for traditional ballroom

I agree. I'm nit sure if it's all an act but it must be wearing being the only person on the judging panel being constructive and the others playing up to the sudience. I think he was getting far tetchier with the booing too. The booing is irritating. I'm wondering if the audience are encouraged to do it now whenever he speaks. I do think Anton is constructive in his comments most of the time. It is massively annoying that the two female judges, both highly regarded, experienced dancers and choreographers are put in the airhead roles of 'oh I looove it!' to any old crap while the men are the ones giving out the advice. Not sure if that's them or the producers, but I'm sure they have enough power to say no to the producers.

Yeah, I think he was getting irritated by the booing. He's played panto villain loads of times and your never really meant to tell an audience to shut up. I think that's why he then quickly added for them to carry on because he likes it really. Thd audience, though, are just encouraged to do it.
 
To answer t, he question from a thread a go here's what I'd change. And I hope a BBC researcher is watching here.

1. Goodbye Motsi. I liked her to begin with but she's worn thin now. I don't think Shirley should go unless she chooses to because her credentials are incredible but maybe tge producers could tell her to tone down the salivating.
2. Stop giving everyone who doesn't miss a step a standing ovation
3. Go back to the format of having dancers dance either a ballroom or latin in the first two-three weeks. That way the judges can compare the dancers to each other properly.
4. Save the argentine tango for quarter finals and everyone does one. It's too special a dance for week 2 or 3 imo and it used to be something to look forward to.
5. Pack in the Sunday show.
6. Give Gilikison the heave-ho
7. Bring in a former winning pro to replace Motsi. Karen Hardy, Darren thingymajig, Lillia Kopylova or Aliona maybe. Please never Kevin Clifton please please please.
8. Bin couples choice
9. Bin the American smooth and do more foxtrots!
10. Bring back the sanctity of the 10

Yes its good to present dwarfism, but it is odd that every year we hear about selectively matching pros to celebs' heights and here we have an extreme difference, that is inhibiting for the pro.
Having said that, aside from scoobydoo, nikita has done a great job, and Ellie has natural rhythm
 
As others have said, I would hate if Craig left.

It would not be the same without him, at all. I love the way he says chaw chaw chaw 😁 but not just that 😁 his scores and comments are realistic. I would love to take the higher scoring paddles away from the other three for the first couple of weeks. 😁

And yes, I know I have said it before but the booing the minute anyone especially Craig says anything vaguely negative is irritating. I want to hear the point he is making and even more importantly, the couple need to hear it.

She was awful to multiples, not just my friend. My friend is an ex athlete, they also said Tom Daley is not nice. This was back in the height of Ellie's fame so maybe she's not the same now considering she doesnt get as much coverage.

Interesting how many of us want to bin Gilkerson

next series - go old school implementing the above, call it Strictly Classic - and see how it goes, I bet they would be surprised at how many people want the proper dances back.
