“Strictly Come Dancing” fans expressed their frustration over the judges’ scores for Wynne Evans and Katya Jones’s slapstick Quickstep, with many claiming they were “totally overmarked.” Viewers took to social media to voice their displeasure, arguing that the scores did not accurately reflect the performance, suggesting that the judges may have been overly generous in their evaluations. This backlash highlights the ongoing debates among fans regarding scoring consistency and fairness in the competition.
Wynne Evans, 52, and professional dancer Katya Jones, 35, returned to the “Strictly Come Dancing” floor on Saturday for a slapstick comedy-themed Quickstep, earning an impressive score of 33 out of 40, including nines from judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas. However, fans were left unimpressed, claiming the duo was overmarked for their performance.
This routine followed a toe-curling viral moment from a previous episode where Katya moved Wynne’s hand away from her waist and snubbed his attempt at a high-five, adding to the audience’s critical response to their scoring this week.
Following Wynne Evans and Katya Jones’s latest performance on “Strictly Come Dancing,” fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their outrage over the judges awarding them two nines. Comments included:
“How tf did Wynne get NINES? Like that was a mid routine at best??”
“I actually can’t believe Wynne got a 9! It was absolutely awful.”
“Jesus, a 9 for Wynne? Someone in the Beeb is looking after their own. That was a 2 from me.”
“Wynne and Katya were totally overmarked. I know the judges want to save him, but it doesn’t mean they will stay out of the bottom 2.”
“To give Wynne and Katya two 9s for the worst dance tonight just shows how fixed it is. Trying to change the public’s mind? It ain’t gonna work.”
“How over the top do you have to go in marking Wynne & Katya 9? Ridiculous. And all because of the bad behavior last week that you don’t want anyone to believe…”
These reactions highlight the strong sentiment among fans regarding perceived inconsistencies in judging and the influence it may have on the competition’s outcomes.
