one 8 is ok i guess, 9's shouldn't be allowed in early weeks anymore

you should start with 6's 7's, and getting 9's 10's at the end of your journey

But if someone is worthy of a 9, then to not give them that is unfair. It would be purposely under marking with no intention other than it’s ‘too early’.

rather undermarking, and having something to improve for


but judges luv the obvious ringers Maisie & HRVY of course they can never flop (sadly)

They are told to by the producers to make out its a great show so that they get the viewing figures early and people become invested in the series

you don't even watch so what do you know

[Nicky91]

if they scored HRVY's Jive normally with 7's, i would've liked it more

if they scored arrogant ringer villain Maisie's Samba and Tango normal scores like 7's i would've also liked it more

On DWTS here in the US, the individual scores from the judges during the first 2 weeks range from 4 to 8. It's very rare for someone to get a 9 during that time.

Yes, they're getting the viewers based on the number Shirley Ballas holds up on her gold paddle.

lets dance germany first weeks scores are also between 2-8 with an random 1 by Llambi (german craig) if he finds something a complete horror (such as same-sex pairing over there lol)

Motsi never gives 9's in first weeks over there which is why i was so surprised about her giving that 9 to HRVY

overmarking makes you go off certain contestants tbh


honestly the standard this year is quite good, but i also would know that with realistic scoring, cause i for one do not normally expect 9's in week 1, 2


and viewer ratings are again high up there
