Strictly Come Dancing fans defend Chris after Craig’s “idiotic” score

As a longtime Strictly Come Dancing enthusiast who has watched countless seasons and countless judges come and go, I must say that tonight’s score given by Craig Revel Horwood to Chris McCausland left me utterly baffled. It was like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat, only to find a frog instead.

Several enthusiasts of Strictly Come Dancing have voiced their displeasure towards judge Craig Revel Horwood, as he awarded a seemingly low and controversial score to Chris McCausland during tonight’s finale, labeling it as “unintelligent.

This week, the comedian and his dancing partner, Dianne Buswell, were the third celeb duo to grace the dance floor. They danced their Judges’ preferred routine, titled “Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)” by John Lennon, for their opening number of the night.

This week, we were additionally given a peek at their training videos, which included expert advice from Judge Craig in the form of unique techniques and strategies.

However, even though Craig participated as a judge, he was the most critical of their performance among all judges when it came to scoring their routine.

Although Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Shirley Ballas each gave the dancing pair a perfect score of 10 for their performance, Craig Revel Horwood rated them with an 8.

Fervent fans were outraged by the relatively low score, with one fan posting on X (formerly known as X), “It’s mind-boggling that Craig rated Chris an 8 after he coached and guided him in his dance – it has to be the most foolish thing I’ve ever seen.

Craig grading Chris an 8 following their dance lesson seems incredibly surprising, even hard to believe. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

A supporter commented, “At sunrise we’ll rally against the low grade given to Chris McCousland by Craig. I’m certain that Craig must have awarded a 8 to Pete Wicks at some point.

The fan asserted, “It’s hard to believe they only received a score lower than 9 for their exceptional dance. I can hardly fathom that it’s on par with what Chris and Dianne displayed. At the very least, it was a 9.

At sunrise, we’re taking a stand against Craig’s low score of 8 for Chris McCausland on Strictly Come Dancing Final. I can’t help but wonder if he hasn’t given Pete Wicks an 8 before. It seems unfair to rate that exceptional dance by Chris and Dianne at the same level as a 9 is the least it deserved. Shaking my head in disbelief😠

Other spectators swiftly noted that Craig’s evaluation seemed to contradict his favorable comments about the duo after their act.

Craig appreciated their help in taking the notes during the session and expressed his enjoyment of collaborating with them afterwards.

“The transitions were a lot smoother which was lovely to see,” he continued.

“Also that hip action was fantastic, I loved it. It was full of showbiz, pizzazz, congratulations.”
