Controversy Over Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin's Performance
Strictly Come Dancing fans were left unimpressed with the recent scores given to Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin. The pair performed an American Smooth to Björk's "It's Oh So Quiet" on Saturday, but viewers criticized their dancing skills.
Colorful Outfits and Twirling on the Dance-Floor
Layton and Nikita looked amazing in their colorful outfits as they twirled around the dance-floor to the song. The judges seemed to be impressed by their performance and awarded them 34 points. However, viewers took to social media to express their disagreement.
Accusations of Over-Marking
Many viewers accused the judges of "over-marking" Layton and Nikita, claiming that it ruined the show. One viewer wrote, "Oh come off it, that was the worst dance of the night actually but will be horribly overmarked." Another agreed, stating, "Layton was overmarked tonight."
Support for Layton
Despite the criticism, some viewers defended Layton and praised his quality and entertainment. One fan wrote, "The quality and entertainment he brings to the show can't be denied, all the celebrities are good, but for me, it's Layton I enjoy watching."
Bottom Two but Saved by the Judges
Layton and Nikita ended up in the bottom two with Angela Scanlon, but they were ultimately saved by the judges. The show, however, has also faced accusations of undermarking.
Controversy Over Nigel Harman's Rumba
Nigel Harman, an EastEnders star, performed a rumba on Saturday's show with Katya Jones. Although the judges gave good comments, the performance only received a score of 33, which fans felt was too low. One viewer expressed their frustration, asking, "Why do they ALWAYS under mark Nigel, it’s getting beyond a joke now."
Strictly Come Dancing's judges have faced criticism for their scoring decisions, with fans divided over the recent performances. The controversy adds to the excitement and anticipation of the competition.
