That’s the magic of the panel. Craig is the technical purist, Shirley the perfectionist, Motsi the emotional soul, and Anton the forgiving friend. Together, they create a balance that makes the show addictive. You might not agree with a 6 from Craig, but you’ll still cheer for Motsi’s 9.
Final thought: Next time you watch Strictly, remember that each judge has danced on a world stage. They’re not just being mean—they’re trying to help a celebrity do a perfect rumba. And if they blow a fuse? Well, you can always mute the telly and imagine you’re the fifth judge. You know you’ve done it.
