Karen Hauer and her partner Eddie Kadi had a sizzling Cha-Cha-Cha performance on Saturday night's episode of Strictly Come Dancing. Despite the energy and fun they brought to the dancefloor, the judges' critiques left Karen looking gobsmacked.
Craig Revel Horwood commented that their routine was a ‘streetdance’ and in his opinion, contained ‘no Cha-Cha technique whatsoever’. Motsi Mabuse said while their choreography contained remnants of different dance staples, they need to be ‘clearer’ when they want to try something different. Meanwhile, Shirley Ballas critiqued Eddie on his posture and footwork.
However, Anton Du Beke said that he loved the performance and urged them not to listen to the other judges. After Craig’s three, Karen and Eddie received a six from Motsi, a five from Shirley and a seven from Anton.
Viewers of the show criticized the way in which the judges delivered their feedback, with one saying that they didn’t like the ‘disrespect’ that was seemingly targeted at Karen’s choreography. Another wrote: ‘Really enjoyed Eddie & Karen. Loved it. Lots of bitterness and nasty with the judges.’ Someone else said the remarks were ‘bizarre’, while another stated: ‘Don’t know if I can finish watching Strictly after hearing the feedback for Karen and Eddie.’
On Sunday, Karen thanked fans for their outpouring of ‘support’ and ‘encouragement’ after her performance. She posted a series of pictures on Instagram of herself and Eddie sitting on the steps on the Strictly set.
‘What a Saturday night!! Thank you for all your beautiful messages of encouragement and support. It does not go unnoticed ♥️ @comeddiekadi love you buddy
