The competition heats up on Strictly Come Dancing 2025 as contestants prepare for their fourth dance. The leaderboard has showcased varied performances this season. Insights from previous weeks reveal interesting trends about the dance styles and their impact on scores.
Current Standings and Dance Performance
In this series, the American smooth emerges as the highest-scoring dance style, achieving an impressive average score of 27.76. Following closely is the Charleston, which holds an average score of 27.5. This is promising news for contestant Stefan Dennis, who will be performing the Charleston tonight.
Charleston’s Mixed History
- Charleston has seen the most eliminations during Week Four.
- The cha-cha-cha has earned the lowest scores so far this season.
This trend raises concerns for La Voix, as the Charleston and cha-cha-cha are both known for their challenges during this critical stage of the competition.
Historical Context of Week Four Scores
Week Four scores have varied significantly over the years. Notably, no contestant has achieved a perfect 40 at this point in the season. However, four celebrities have managed to secure a score of 39:
- Ore Oduba (2016)
- Alexandra Burke (2017)
- Hamza Yassin (2022)
- Tasha Ghouri (2024)
All four instances of missing a perfect score were influenced by judge Craig Revel Horwood. This raises the question: will Craig alter his scoring tonight?
Lowest Scores of Week Four
The historical context also highlights lower scores from previous competitors:
- Ed Balls (2016) and Kate Garraway (2017) both scored 16.
- Scott Mills holds the record with a score of 15 in 2014.
Interestingly, both Balls and Mills danced to songs by Bonnie Tyler, raising questions about the correlation between song choice and performance success.
Despite their low scores, neither Ed Balls nor Scott Mills ended up in the bottom two of their respective weeks, indicating that viewer votes can shift dynamics in unexpected ways.
Upcoming Performances
As contestants prepare for tonight’s performances, fans eagerly anticipate whether La Voix can overcome the challenges and improve her standings on the leaderboard. The interplay between dance style and scoring could be crucial in determining who progresses in this exciting season of Strictly Come Dancing 2025.
