Strictly viewers puzzled by judges’ response to Pete Wicks’ dance
Strictly Come Dancing fans were left scratching their heads once again as judges commented on contestant Pete Wicks’ performance in the latest episode. Despite being in the top six, Wicks, known for his time on The Only Way Is Essex, has been a divisive figure with consistently low scores but high public votes.
In the most recent show, Wicks and his partner scored just 26 for their Waltz, leading to mixed reactions from viewers. Some were surprised that judges seemed lenient in their critiques, with one fan questioning why the judges were not being more critical of Wicks’ mistakes. Others expressed frustration at the judges’ comments, especially in comparison to other contestants.
While some defended Wicks’ progress on the show and criticized the judges for being too harsh, others felt that scoring inconsistencies were at play, suggesting the competition might be “fixed.” Despite facing backlash for his success in the competition, Wicks shared on his podcast that he had received disturbing threats over his performance on the show.
As the competition heats up, fans are left wondering how judges will continue to assess contestants like Wicks as they approach the semi-finals. Stay tuned to see how this season of Strictly Come Dancing unfolds!
