The latest episode of Strictly Come Dancing had viewers on the edge of their seats as fan-favorite JB Gill and his partner Amy Dowden landed in the dreaded dance-off. This shocking turn of events has sparked speculation among fans that a new curse may be plaguing the competition.
Despite receiving positive feedback from the judges for their jive to Outkast's hit song "Hey Ya!", JB and Amy were unable to secure enough votes from the public and found themselves in the bottom two. They faced off against Paul Merson and Karen Hauer, with all the judges ultimately choosing to save JB.
This unexpected outcome left everyone in shock, but it also raised concerns among viewers who noticed a pattern emerging. In the previous week, another favorite, Shayne, also landed in the bottom two after performing in the same spot as JB and Amy. This led some fans to believe that going first in the competition may be a curse.
Even judge Craig Revel Horwood remarked on this trend, noting that both couples who ended up in the dance-off had performed in the middle of the leaderboard. One viewer commented on Twitter, "Crazy how JB danced first last night and in the dance off, and Shayne ward danced first last week and too himself there. Going first is a curse lol."
Another person added, "Going first is a proper curse this series," while a third fan said, "Voters with goldfish memories yet again. Two weeks in a row. The curse of first."
Some fans also speculated that being the first couple to perform may put contestants at a disadvantage, as they can easily be forgotten by the time the voting lines open. This theory was supported by the fact that both JB and Shayne received positive comments from the judges, yet still ended up in the bottom two.
Despite all four judges choosing to save JB, there were some critiques of his performance. Head judge Shirley Ballas noted some mistakes, and Anton Du Beke expressed his disappointment in JB's dance-off routine, saying the decision wasn't as "easy" as it should have been.
In the end, it was Paul Merson and Karen Hauer who were eliminated from the competition, much to the disappointment of their fellow contestants. Paul graciously thanked everyone involved with the show, even jokingly mentioning the lone Tottenham fan in the audience, and Karen praised him for bringing joy and laughter to the competition.
With the competition heating up, fans are eagerly anticipating the next episode of Strictly Come Dancing, airing on Saturday at 6:25 pm with the results show on Sunday at 7:20 pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
