Accusations of Bias
Fans of Strictly Come Dancing have taken to social media to accuse judge Motsi Mabuse of showing favoritism towards one celebrity during the tense semi-final. Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin were among the final stars left competing for the Glitter trophy, and their sexy rumba performance received praise from the other judges. However, viewers felt that Motsi's critiques and scores were biased in favor of Layton.
Frustrated Viewers
Viewers expressed their frustration on social media, with one person stating that Motsi never offers constructive criticism and clearly favors Layton. Another questioned Motsi's judgment after she gave him a 9 for his performance. Some viewers also disputed Motsi's claim that Layton's rumba was the most difficult. The overall sentiment was that Motsi was excessively praising Layton.
Past Controversy
This is not the first time Motsi has faced accusations of favoritism towards Layton. In a previous episode, she became emotional and gave the dancers a standing ovation after their Paso Doble routine, which earned them the first perfect score of the season. Critics argue that Layton's extensive dance training since the age of 11 gives him an unfair advantage over other celebrities with less experience.
It remains to be seen how these accusations will impact the final results of Strictly Come Dancing. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Motsi's alleged bias will continue to influence her judging decisions.
