BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers share same worry after Movie Night scores

Strictly Come Dancing viewers have been left divided over the judges' scoring during Movie Week on the BBC One show. During the third live show, which aired on Saturday, October 8, the celebrity and professional dancers took on classics from films such as Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic Park.

The instalment saw Tyler West and Dianne Buswell blow the panel and audiences away, scoring the first 10s of the series and topping the leaderboard with an amazing 38 out of 40. Lifting the 10 paddle, head juge Shirley exclaimed: "Its never too early for a 10 from Shirley!"

Meanwhile, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu impressed for the second week running claiming two nines and scoring 34 overall. Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima recieved 33 out of a possible 40 for their Charleston, getting two nines from the panel, while Will Mellor and Nancy Xu were also awarded 33 points.

However, fans were left pretty divided over the high scores, claiming it was too soon in the series for the judges to be awarding nines and 10s as it leaves the celebrities with nowhere to go. "Week three and they're throwing away 9s already," wrote one fan. "Not really leaving anywhere to go for the rest of the series."

While another added: "#Strictly 9’s? At this rate they’ll have to be scoring over 10 when they get really good." And a third commented: "I really don’t get the scores in this series so far? Such a difference from last week?"

As a fourth said: "9's and 10's in week three of #Strictly? Game's gone." However, others disagreed and thought the scores reflected how good the routines were. "Craig giving it a nine in week three should say everything about how great that was," wrote one viewer following Tyler's performance. While another said: "It was easily worth a 10. Excellent work."
