The latest episode of Strictly Come Dancing has caused quite a stir among fans, with many voicing their concerns and complaints. After the first competitive episode of the series aired last week, viewers were eager to see the fifteen contestants take to the dance floor for the first time. And while there were certainly some standout moments, it seems that one issue overshadowed the rest.
Fans were quick to blast the show for feeling "rushed," with many expressing their disappointment over the lack of a grand entrance to kick off the episode. As the first dancers made their way onto the stage, it became apparent that something was missing. This didn't sit well with viewers, who took to social media to voice their frustrations.
One Twitter user, Tomjamesclark, questioned, "No grand entrance?? #Strictly." And it wasn't just one or two fans who felt this way. Kendal_ also chimed in, adding, "This opening feels really rushed... #Strictly." Paradiseieah even went so far as to declare, "I hate the entrances this year. Bring back the proper introductions and the STRICTLY THEME!!!!!! We used to be a real country."
It wasn't just the lack of a grand entrance that had fans talking, though. Many were also disappointed by the fact that the hosts, Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, simply appeared on the show without any sort of entrance. This left some feeling that the show was trying to save time, which didn't sit well with them.
Twitter user RyanTheSoapking complained, "No entrance from Claud & Tess for the first time #Strictly." AlfieS12 also shared their thoughts, saying, "Are we that tight for time that we can't fit in Tess and Claudia coming down the stairs? I'd rather bin off the judges entrance. #Strictly." And Chloerichx added, "Tess and Claudia need to walk on, it looks stupid how they are both stood there without any entrance #Strictly."
As if the rushed feeling of the episode wasn't enough, fans were also disappointed to learn that none of the contestants would be eliminated in the first round. This meant that the competition would continue into the next episode, with the first elimination being announced then.
But it wasn't all complaints and criticisms from fans. Some contestants managed to impress the viewers with their performances, earning them praise and securing their spot in the competition. One such contestant was Pete Wicks, who wowed with his dance moves and received a lot of positive feedback from fans.
Unfortunately, this criticism from fans was just the latest in a series of woes for the dance competition. Recent scandals surrounding bullying between dancers and celebrities have put a cloud over the show, prompting the BBC to take action. They have introduced several changes to support the welfare of all involved, including having a team member present during training rehearsals and appointing celebrity and professional dancer welfare producers.
Despite all the drama and criticism, there were still some standout performances that had fans buzzing. Sarah Hadland impressed viewers with her dramatic finish, and also admitted to having a crush on her dance partner, Vito Coppola. But perhaps the most talked-about performance of the night came from Chris McCausland and his dance partner, Dianne Buswell. Fans were blown away by their routine, with many praising them for being an inspiration to blind people.
As we eagerly await the first elimination, it's clear that this season of Strictly Come Dancing is already shaping up to be a rollercoaster ride. Whether it's complaints about rushed episodes or praise for inspiring performances, one thing is for sure: this show knows how to keep its fans talking.
