It's that time of year again - the Strictly Come Dancing final is upon us. As excited as I am to see who will take home the coveted Glitterball Trophy, I can't help but think about what could make this show even better. And I have the perfect idea - it's time for Craig Revel Horwood to take his rightful place as Head Judge.
Craig has been a mainstay on the panel since the show's inception in 2004, and in those 21 series, we've seen it all from him. From his infamous clashes with fellow judges to his brutally honest critiques, Craig is the perfect embodiment of what a Strictly judge should be. And let's not forget his iconic "Mr Nasty" persona, which only adds to the entertainment value of the show.
Despite his years of experience behind the judges' desk, Craig has never been given the title of Head Judge. That honor has always gone to Shirley Ballas, who took over from Len Goodman in 2017. But if we're being honest, Craig has been the backbone of the show for much longer than Shirley's tenure. He has handed out scores ranging from 1 to 10 and witnessed 14 couples take home the Glitterball Trophy. So it begs the question - when will Craig get the recognition he deserves?
Now, I'm not saying that Shirley doesn't deserve her place on the panel. She is a world-renowned dancer with an impressive resume. But there's no denying that Craig has been the heart and soul of Strictly for years. And let's not forget the unfair trolling Shirley has faced from die-hard fans who don't agree with her critiques. I believe there's room for a conversation about her inconsistencies in scoring, which sometimes seem to border on favoritism.
But the most important reason why Craig should be Head Judge is that he truly cares about the show and its contestants. He isn't swayed by gimmicks or flashy costumes - he's there for the dancing. And when Craig does give out a perfect 10, it holds weight and meaning. It's the stamp of approval that every contestant strives for.
Craig is known for his sharp tongue and quick wit, but he also has a softer side. In a rare moment in 2023, he even shed a tear while praising a contestant's show dance. And in this year's final, he touched hearts with a special poem for Chris, the first-ever blind contestant on Strictly. It's moments like these that remind us of Craig's genuine love for the show.
But more importantly, promoting Craig to Head Judge would ensure that the show stays true to its roots and maintains its integrity. With his experience, expertise, and unwavering honesty, Craig is the perfect candidate for the job. It's time to give him his well-deserved flowers and let him lead the panel with his signature sass and wisdom.
So as we eagerly await the final results, I implore the Strictly audience to stop booing and jeering Craig's critiques and instead listen to what he has to say. Trust me, most of the time, he's the one making the most sense. And if we want to keep this beloved dance show at the top of its game, it's time to give Craig the promotion he's been waiting for.
In the end, it's not just about Craig or Shirley or any of the judges. It's about the magic of Strictly and the joy it brings to millions of viewers every week. But by promoting Craig to Head Judge, we can ensure that this magic stays alive for years to come. So let's make it happen, shall we? Because as Craig would say, it's time to make this show truly fab-u-lous, darling.
