Viewers of the BBC One show complained that the judges were being too harsh while others fumed that they had a ‘vendetta’ against certain pairings.
Some fans have been left worried that Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola may not make it though to the next show, after receiving some ‘unfair’ scores.
Despite impressing the professionals week after week, supporters of the Miranda star fear her luck may have run out.
Sarah and her partner Vito performed a Charleston to Popular from Wicked for Musicals Week and were heaped with praise by the judges.
Motsi Mabuse said it was ‘a definite yes’, and complimented the pair’s ‘unbelievable’ lifts before adding that Sarah didn’t miss a beat and set the standard for the others.

Even famously-harsh Craig complimented the actress, saying: ‘Bravo!’.
But when the scores came in, both Motsi and Craig gave the duo nines while Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke awarded them tens.
And viewers took to social media to share their frustration, writing that Motsi and Craig were playing favourites and other dancers were being overmarked.
One person wrote: ‘No witches costumes available for Motsi then shame would have suited her based on tonights scoring for Sarah and Vito #Strictly.’
While another said: ‘Looks like im the only person to think Sarah and vito was the best dance of the night. We can all see JB is the judges favourite for this series’.
Someone else complained that Motsi marked Sarah down, writing: ‘Oh so you do have your 10 paddle then Motsi She clearly doesn’t like Sarah and Vito wish she’d stop making it obvious who you she wants to win. Craig and Shirley both had issues with that Argentine Tango but what a surprise Motsi thought it was perfect.’
A third wrote: ‘For the past few weeks been getting the vibe Motsi doesn’t like Sarah? The last few dances have been pure class and beautiful to watch but Motsi sounded dismissive and underscored IMO. Surprised as she is normally one of my fave judges..Is there beef?’
Others said: ‘Sarah gets robbed every week on this, it’s a joke’; ‘The way Craig chooses to wrap Pete in cotton wool because he likes the musical but then couldn’t wait to criticise ‘Chris & Sarah’; ‘Would it kill them to give Sarah a 40???’

And fans’ complaints come after viewers slammed the judges for ‘constantly down-marking’ Jamie Borthwick earlier in the competition.
The EastEnders actor, 30, sent fans into overdrive after performing a Foxtrot with pro partner Michelle Tsiakkas to Ben E King’s classic Stand By Me.
Despite many viewers raving over the soap star’s dance, Jamie was once again harshly critiqued by the judges – prompting some to accuse the panel of ‘favouritism’.
Commenting on Jamie’s routine before voting, judge Anton Du Beke said: ‘Right arm is terrible.’
And Craig Revel Horwood certainly didn’t hold back as he added: ‘There were time where it looked like you were wearing a neck-brace. It keeps containing the dance.
Meanwhile head judge Shirley Ballas also corrected the actor on his chin position, with the couple bagging 32 points overall.
And unfortunately it was the end of the road for the actor and his dancing partner who eliminated after facing Montell Douglas in the dance off.
