I’m a Strictly expert – here are three huge changes show MUST make to save 20th anniversary

Bring back fun

Strictly Come Dancing has been a beloved staple of UK television for almost two decades, but recent scandals have tarnished its once-glitzy reputation. To save the show, it must bring back the fun factor that made it so enjoyable for viewers. From memorable dances like John Sargeant's Paso Doble to Danny Mac's Samba, the entertainment value has waned in recent years. By injecting more joy and lightheartedness into the show, Strictly can recapture the magic that made it a fan favorite.

Realistic scoring

One aspect of Strictly Come Dancing that has come under scrutiny is its scoring system. Fans have criticized the judges for being inconsistent and overly generous with their scores. From constant 'fix' claims to questionable high scores, the show must return to a more realistic and fair scoring method. By ensuring that scores accurately reflect the quality of the performances, Strictly can regain credibility and trust with its audience.

Bring Back Reality

At its core, Strictly Come Dancing is a reality show meant to entertain and engage viewers. However, recent incidents involving professionals putting winning above all else have blurred the line between competition and reality. To save the show, it must embrace its reality TV roots and focus on the camaraderie, fun, and drama that make it so engaging for audiences. By returning to its roots and emphasizing the personal connections between dancers and judges, Strictly can reclaim its status as a beloved family show.
