So...will Aleesha Dixon do Strictly next year or will Arlene come back?

[RainRainGoAway]

Just speculating...

Personally, I haven't become fond of our Aleesha over the past series. As pointed out on many threads the 'you was' was irritating. I know she has tried to make her comments relevant but she is rubbish at them compared to Arlene, and even Darcy.

Just not sure it has been a good experiment.

I had read AP was coming back as AD was concentrating on her music and going to America but I have since heard that is not true and she has been resigned.

Bugger.

I think Alesha has been appallingly bad as a judge, she has to go. I'm not fussed if Arlene comes back (her rehearsed cliched responses were painful) but Alesha just doesn't know enough about dance to be a good judge.

Sorry Alesha.

is darcy here to stay then do you think?? would rather her and her constructive knowledgeable criticism than Aleesha's grammar...

They should have Karen Hardy as the girlie judge. Really missed her this year. Her correography was fab and she really knows her onions.

Darcy is pretty damn good. my legs are just like hers.

Definitely alesha should go. karen hardy would be mega. or darcy if not. like alesha, but not as a judge...

Alesha sets my teeth on edge. Loved her as a contestant but haven't warmed to her at all. I cannot take her opinion seriously as she is not qualified to pass judgement.
really enjoyed listening to Darcey who is fantastic

I didn't like Karen as a dancer, too obviously narked whenever she got voted off, but she'd be infinitely preferable to Alesha, lovely though she is. I still get the impression the others are rolly-eyeing when she starts talking.

I think Karen for Judgehood.

Get rid of Alesha, Bruno, Brucie and Tessie.

James Jordan and Claudia for presenting duties.

Not James Jordan far too up his own arse in his 'segment' on ITT.

Karen Hardy would be a much better judge than Alesha, Darcy, and Arlene put together. They're all rubbish/annoying IMO. Karen's incredibly knowledgeable. When she does choreography corner on ITT she always comes out with very clever stuff and explains it really clearly.

No, Aleesha has to go. She is appalling. She doesn't know what she's talking about. How could she? She is not a professional dancer. Her grammar is also terrible. "You was"! What's that about? This is the BBC. Speak English correctly will you. Not a fan of Karen Hardy. I find her brittle and stuck up. Arlene must return! She knows what's she's talking about and is down to earth.

Ach I'm not too fussed about Alesha. Len's grammar's not perfect either.

Too much of a climb down for the BBC to have Arlene back. I reckon they will ditch Alesha and keep Darcey.

I'm not keen on Len either. Such a bully. he shouldn't be allowed to make personal remarks about other judges. He's not four years old and should have learned to keep his mouth shut if he can't behave. I'd love Darcey to stay. She certainly knows what she's talking about. Bit frightening for the contestants I think.

I feel a bit sorry for Alesha, I don't think the judging gig has done her many favours. Did you notice her lemon face when Brucie welcomed Darcy by saying "It's nice to have a bit of class on the show"

She appears to throw in the odd overly harsh bit of criticism just to prove she's not a pushover, but it doesn't suit her.

I think she'd make a better presenter - laughing and cheering along with the contestents. Move over Tess

contestants

I like Alesha.

Arlene was annoying and Darcy is very cold.

I think Alesha and Bruno are funny together.

But BBC will encourage lots of speculation undoubtedly.

Very good idea Snot. ()

I find Tess frankly a bit bland and her fringe is inexplicable.

Aleesha would be quite a sweet sidekick.

Why thank you!

I think Brucie adores her, too - could be a winning combo
