Strictly Come Dancing viewers were calling out judge Craig Revel Horwood on Saturday night, over his "harsh" feedback.
Some fans were left asking what was "wrong" with him, believing he was in a mood after he repeatedly gave "negative" feedback to the contestants. Viewers didn't entirely agree with his comments, while some fans were onboard with his opinions.
Craig was quick to point out technical issues in some of the performances, while adding he wasn't keen on some of the routines. But while some viewers suggested he was the only judge marking correctly, plenty of other viewers were instead slamming his comments and scoring.
Taking to social media, fans of the BBC series called out "super negative" Craig, asking if he was "bored" of judging the show. One fan commented: "Craig is being harsh tonight and I feel his marks are strangely high with several of the contestants compared to his criticism."
Another fan said: "What is wrong with all the judges tonight?! Especially Craig! Such harsh picky comments on everyone." A third fan commented: "Craig is being super negative tonight," while a fourth said: "Craig hates everything tonight! Has he just got bored of watching dancing?!"
