He has seemed much more patient during the last season or two, but earlier he was coming off as much more harsh. He was very no nonsense and even lectured some of the pros about their teaching styles, getting involved with the celebs, and wasting time, according to the footage and behind the scenes talk. I remember him becoming quite annoyed the season he was with Lisa Rinna regarding the other dancers and their celebs during a group rehearsal. Not to say it wasn't deserved, but he did come off as the man wanting to be in charge.
I think he's mellowed out or his reputation has become less harsh on the show. I was actually surprised by what he and his partner did this season, as it seemed out of character for how he is portrayed on television usually.
Louis has seemed to melow out the last season, but I agree that before this he was very much a slave driver (which is not a bad thing, but he's very no-nonsense) and it was his way or no way. And that's fine for a grown woman who can put her foot down if it gets to be too much (like Lisa Rinna) or just not take things seriously, but for someone like Bristol who really does need personal coaching to coax anything out of her, it wouldn't have worked. She needs someone who's a firecracker in the right way, ie able to bring some life out of her!
This isn't to say that Louis is bad or anything, he just would have been too serious with Bristol and she would have folded quickly.
