I honestly think that if Hamza hadn't have had his Salsa and Couples Choice performances we'd be having another Rose type of winner, where someone completely unremarkable in their performances wins the Show.

I mean it's honestly not the end of the world that he won, and Hamza as a person seems like a really nice guy, but to me it's absurd that the public snubbed Fleur on the night, and tbh in general throughout the series when she probably has the best collection of dances for this particular series.

Along with Molly tbf.

I agree with all that.

I do think Strictly needs to assess itself and how the judging is done.
Plus the voting too.

No matter their personal view no judge should be showing preferences for one or more contestants and not others.

Admittedly it is an entertainment show and it is to be fair.

The 3 things I'd do is cut the judges to 3 so no need for a head judge at all to overrule 2 others.

The dance off, I'd scrap doing the same dance already voted on by the judges, and have the dance off couples doing the same dance to be judged on.

I'd also make it that the public vote decides who goes only from the quarter final stage.
That probably wouldn't help but something needs to be done re the public voting too.
I haven't a thought on that.

However there's too much inconsistency from at least 2 of the judging panel as to their comments and then the marks they dish out.
To the ones they like or to the ones they clearly don't care for.
That's NOT professional even in a more light hearted competitive setting.
