An 8 is a fantastic score. If I was judging it would be an extreme rarity to give someone a 10. They shouldn't just be handed out like they are in this game, neither should 9s.

Personal taste will come into it, as it does for ANY competition.

However, the theme, style and costume would add points.

You're just being a very bad loser and like I say, the judges haven't done themselves any favour. It should be a shock to receive a 10 not the norm.

If I had my time again I wouldn't play it over because I have no faith in the judges and their ridiculous OVER SCORING.

What's the point, score so high in week one you have no where to go or achieve

Really appreciate my judges but I actually kind of agree with this. A 9 or 10 should be awarded when it's extra special. So maybe now we are in to the last bit of the show I think judges you need to get a bit tougher if that's ok
