Controversy Strikes Ahead of Series Finale
As the countdown to the 'Strictly Come Dancing' finale begins, fans of the popular show are expressing their concerns over what they perceive as unfair scoring by a certain judge. The accusations of undermarking have reached a boiling point, with calls for a change in the judging panel.
Resident "Mr Nasty" Faces Backlash
Craig Revel Horwood, known for his brutally honest critiques, has come under fire for his strict marking throughout the series. Fans argue that his scoring is too harsh, spoiling the positive atmosphere of the show. One viewer expressed their frustration, saying, "Enough of Craig R Horwood… His Mr nasty routine is so worn out – scoring 9 for Layton & Nikita is just ridiculous."
Outrage Over Low Scores
The dissatisfaction with the judging reached its peak during the semi-final Salsa performed by Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe. Despite an impressive performance, the judges awarded them 8s, sparking outrage among viewers. One viewer even went as far as demanding the judges be sacked.
Consistency in Scoring
While the criticism towards Craig Revel Horwood continues to mount, it's worth noting that his scoring has been consistent with that of his fellow judges. In fact, he even awarded two perfect 10s during the semi-final. However, fans argue that certain contestants, such as Bobby, have been consistently underscored by Horwood.
Live Audience Joins the Outcry
The dissatisfaction with the judging spilled over into the live audience during the weekend's show. Despite the judges' critique of Annabel's Salsa, the crowd erupted in boos and the pro dancers chanted "undermarked." It seems the controversy surrounding the scoring has reached new heights.
As the 'Strictly Come Dancing' finale draws near, fans anxiously await a resolution to the undermarking allegations. Will the show's producers take action and make changes to the judging panel? Only time will tell.
