Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left saying the same thing just minutes into Saturday's Week 7 show, with many believing Will Best was marked too harshly by the judges.
The November 7 episode marks the halfway point of the competition, with the remaining couples taking to the ballroom floor to impress the judges and the audience at home.
Will Best and Dianne Buswell open the show
Big Brother presenter Will Best and professional Dianne Buswell were up first, performing a quickstep to Maroon 5's "This Love." The couple received 29 points, made up of a 6, an 8, a 7, and an 8.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood said: "Slight improvement on your last ballroom but a little bit bouncy in the top half, but great energy and totally watchable." Motsi Mabuse added: "You felt light and were on the road the whole time, moving in unison with musicality and I saw a bit of showmanship."
Fans question the scores
The judges' scores quickly became a talking point, with fans questioning why the performance had received such a low mark. One viewer wrote on X: "First dance and the judges already piss me off – that was Will's best dance yet! Great music and a proper quickstep. Ridiculously underscored, a 6 is silly for that #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing."
Another posted: "A 6?!..... Someone pissed on Craig's cornflakes this morning!!" Others suggested Will was once again being marked more harshly than his competitors, with one fan writing: "Another week of Will being undermarked."
Criticism extends to production choices
The criticism also extended beyond the judging panel, with some viewers unhappy with the production choices surrounding the couple's performance. One frustrated supporter said: "Another week of terrible song choice for his dance from producers. Another terrible costume for Dianne, bordering on sabotage. The producers hate Will, and I have no idea why."
Will and Dianne also extended the show for another week, which did not go unnoticed by viewers. "Will undermarked again and went first again," one viewer complained. The reaction came just minutes into the programme, with supporters already questioning whether Will was receiving a fair deal from the judges and producers.
