Sarah and her dance partner, Vito, were on fire during their latest performance on Strictly Come Dancing. The judges were blown away by their Argentine Tango, awarding them a whopping 38 points - their highest score yet! But as always, there was some controversy surrounding their performance. Was it too high of a score? Let's break it down.
The 53-year-old actress, Sarah Hadland, and her pro partner, Vito Coppola, took on a Goth-inspired routine to the tune of Ready or Not by the Fugees. Their performance was so impressive that it tied with EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick for the highest score of the night. However, there was a slight mishap at the beginning with a lift that didn't quite go as planned. This small mistake held them back from achieving a perfect score, but it didn't go unnoticed by the judges.
Craig Revel Horwood didn't hesitate to point out the error, but he still praised their performance, giving them nine points. Anton Du Becke shared the same sentiment and also awarded them nine points. Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas, on the other hand, were full of praises and gave them a perfect score of 10 each. Motsi even declared it the "dance of the night." The audience loved it too, but some viewers couldn't help but notice the mistake and felt that it should have affected their score more.
Some viewers took to social media to express their thoughts on the judging. Many believed that the judges were giving out too many 10s, especially when the performance was not perfect. They argued that at this point in the competition, the judges should be more critical and listen to Craig's critiques. Others pointed out that it seemed like there was a disconnect between the judges' scoring and the actual performance.
Meanwhile, another pair, Jamie and Michelle, also impressed the judges with their Addams Family-inspired American Smooth, earning them an identical 38 points. Tasha and Aljaz came in a close second with 37 points for their Samba, and Montell and Johannes landed in fourth place with their Cha Cha. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best week for Chris and his partner, Dianne, as they received the lowest score of 26 points for their Samba. Despite bringing viewers to tears with his Waltz last week, Chris struggled with the Samba, with Anton criticizing his "hopping."
As the competition heats up, the pressure to deliver flawless performances is at an all-time high. And for some contestants, the fear of elimination looms over them. Currently, the odds are pointing towards doctor Punam and her partner, Gorka, being eliminated this weekend, with former hockey player Sam Quek closely behind. But anything can happen on the Strictly dance floor, and we can't wait to see what's in store for us next.
