Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left asking "what is going on?" during the latest episode of the BBC series.
Some comments from the judges and the scores left viewers questioning everything, specially Anton Du Beke. Several viewers complained that his scoring didn't make sense and was not consistent, after he marked two very different dances the same score.
The judges were quite divided on some of the performances on Saturday, but Anton was one of the higher scoring of the four. He gave Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer a seven, Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe an eight and Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu an eight, despite the other judges marking lower.
In fact, Craig Revel Horwood was giving out fives compared to Anton's seven and eights. Viewers watching the episode questioned what was going on with the "chaotic" scoring, demanding the judges "rationalise" the marks. Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: "They really need to rationalise the scoring. It’s all over the place."
Another fan agreed: "Chaotic scoring again this week," as a third wrote: "Anton Bro?? What is this scoring??." A fourth fan said: "idk wtf Anton is doing giving two completely different dances the same score one was better than the other."
