Even pre-covid the old judges desk always looked really cramped compared to the ITV equivalents, so glad they've not reverted to that, though it is surprising they've not just gone for a bigger version of the one desk now. I guess although all visible protocols have been dropped there are probably contingencies just in case something happens, so keeping the seperate desks means if needs be they can be split again.
I did think having the other pairs sat at tables to one side actually added to the "ballroom" feel of the set and gave us better shots of them cheering each other on than the balcony does. Although understandable it's gone if they ever do get around to redesigning the Clauditorium I think incorporating that at that end of the set and perhaps having more of a terrace leading up to Claudia's space where some are seated could work well.
