SCD...Anton's judging chance

15 replies

I'm very on the fence with Anton.. endearing and irritating in equal measures, but rather thought he's been overlooked for a judging role in the past.

Am interested to see how he gets on..

I think he'll be fab. Like a younger Len maybe. I also think it will have made his life 😂

MajesticWhine · 14/11/2020 19:22

I hope he's good. I feel like Anton should have moved over to the judges a while ago.

BenoneBeauty · 15/11/2020 12:21

I'm not a fan of Anton at all - he makes a joke out of every single partner, even when they're not bad dancers, and I assume it's to mask the fact that he's not a very good teacher!

lynsey91 · 15/11/2020 13:16

I thought he was very good. Certainly much better than Motsi.

Considering she is a professional dancer her judging is absolutely useless. She is no better than Alisha Dixon was and Alisha had the excuse that she knew more or less nothing about dancing.

Motsi shouting all the time and just making inane comments is a complete waste of time and very annoying

I'll give him a chance to be a better judge than teacher. I find he's lazy and doesn't even bother trying to teach his partners, instead just relying on props and jokes.

But there's something about him I just don't like. Motsi does shout but she's a refreshing change to another white, male judge.

She may be a refreshing change in that she is a black woman but she is useless.

What useful comments does she make? Oh that's right none. Just shouting "you go girl" and various other stupid comments every week is boring and annoying. She annoys me more than any other judge they have had

GreenClock · 15/11/2020 14:52

Motsi’s comments are not substantial, as a non-dancer I would appreciate more detail from her rather than the effusive platitudes. I’d liked to see her replaced.

I loved Anton as a judge, so much better that Motsi.

thecatneuterer · 16/11/2020 13:00

I also think Anton was a million miles better than Motsi. He gave a proper, technical critique, which is what I want. Motsi should be well able to do that - but for some reason she doesn't and it's very disappointing.

lynsey91 · 16/11/2020 13:55

I think overall most people liked Anton judging and, in fact, preferred him to Motsi.

I really do think he should be given the job next year.

IHaveBrilloHair · 16/11/2020 14:09

Agreed, definitely.
I think hes had his day as a dancer on the show but would make an excellent judge and he knows it all inside out.

the80sweregreat · 16/11/2020 14:35

I like both of them. I know Anton was in trouble for saying things in the past about some of the contestants , but as a judge on Saturday he wasn't too bad. A nice Len replacement.
Motsi is fun and sassy and brings a bit of life to the proceedings.
I could live with four of them on there judging away! ( Craig is my favorite though)

icelollycraving · 16/11/2020 14:41

Craig is my favourite too @the80sweregreat.
I think it was a good trial for him. I think he will definitely get the gig.
He looked much better. I think he finds the regime of dancing too knackering, he may be great at ballroom but he isn’t good at anything else (comparatively with the other male dancers).
I like Motsi. I like Shirley too. It’s a blessing to not have Bruno, he gets on my nerves.

BenoneBeauty · 16/11/2020 21:37

I prefer Motsi - think she's fab although do agree that it would be better if she gave some more substantial critique.

@BenoneBeauty

It would be good if she gave any critique instead of all that shouting and arm waving and silly comments.

I liked her to start with but now I just find her totally annoying. Bruno may wave his arms around and shout a bit (nowhere near as much as Motsi) but he makes good comments
