Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left furious on Saturday night (November 14) after claiming they spotted a recurring problem with the live show. Disgruntled fans took to X to voice their frustration, with many raising the same alleged issue: the judges' scoring.
The grievances were unrelated to the new presenting line-up. Instead, viewers were deflated by what they saw as inconsistent scoring, with many airing comparable concerns across social media.
Fans Slam 'Embarrassing' Scores
One viewer wrote: "The judges comments are totally inconsistent with their scores. It's been a theme all through this series." Another noted: "These scores are embarrassing. Delta DESERVED at least one 10 for that Argentine Tango."
Someone else added: "Genuinely what are the judges watching tonight? It's all wrong." A further viewer commented: "Don't have enough votes to correct the mistakes the judges have made with tonight's scoring."
Some Defend the Judges
Nevertheless, there were plenty who argued that the judges are well-versed in their field. While routines can appear breathtaking on television, the majority of viewers are not necessarily equipped to assess how precisely the dances are being executed.
Regarding one particular performance, one viewer said: "Craig is doing what the judges should do and judging based on the rules. It's not his fault." Another added: "Considering that Delta had a change of partner at the last minute, those are some decent scores."
A separate viewer offered: "My thoughts from tonight's episode. Judging was much better for the most part." One further fan remarked: "Do the public realise that #StrictlyComeDancing IS A DANCING COMPETITION and not a popularity competition? You're worse than the judges."
Strictly Come Dancing can be viewed on Saturday evenings on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
