Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left furious after claiming they spotted a "problem" with Saturday night's live show — and it was nothing to do with the new presenting team. Instead, fans took to X to complain about the judges' scoring during the November 14 episode, with many saying the marks did not match the comments.
Viewers slam scoring as 'embarrassing'
Various fans shared their disappointment on X, with many issuing a similar complaint about how events unfolded during the evening. One said: "The judges comments are totally inconsistent with their scores. It’s been a theme all through this series."
Elsewhere, another viewer 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."
Some defend the judges
A different person said: "Don’t have enough votes to correct the mistakes the judges have made with tonight’s scoring." One more also responded: "Totally agree."
Even so, there were many who pointed out that the judges know what they're talking about, noting that performances can look incredible on TV but viewers may not know how precisely the routines are being performed. Regarding one performance, someone said: "Craig is doing what the judges should do and judging based on the rules. It's not his fault."
Mixed reactions continue
Another added: "Considering that Delta had a change of partner at the last minute, those are some decent scores." A different person offered: "My thoughts from tonight’s episode. Judging was much better for the most part."
One more fan also said: "Do the public realise that #StrictlyComeDancing IS A DANCING COMPETITION and not a popularity competition? You're worse than the judges."
There were a variety of responses issued on the topic, but it's clear many thought some contestants deserved higher scores. Strictly Come Dancing can be viewed on Saturday evenings on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
