I feel like his costume hid how great he was ...

[DuckOfDanger]

Anoyone else think this was undermarked? I feel like sometimes what the judges say doesn't always match up with the score they give the couples, perhaps that just because they may not have enough time to get in to all the details though.

[ariadnem.]

Absolutely underscored, BUT the costumes are at fault here. He looked amazing during camera blocking, ugh such a shame 😔

[deeplycynical]

His open enjoyment of dancing's utterly charming

I was blown away by his abilities. The combination of Kongu-Fu moves and samba steps was sensational. Great costumes and fantastic musicality. However, when it comes down to the actual samba he did, I felt like watching two different sambas, because most of his samba steps were superb (like the corta-jacka, the botofogo and the stationary samba walk) - he really mastered the hip action, he kept one leg straight and one bent as needed and it was amazing to see, but some of the samba steps were, technically, pretty weak (like his voltas and his batucadas). I could have been an extraordinary dance if he could maintained the same level of technique during the whole dance. A 7.

Im so annoyed this was defintely undermarked. The costumes were too distracting and the music choice wasnt great

[clxhbcy]

A fun and engaging samba. Karim looks so cute as a panda. Another wonderful dance from them both :)

[bethanwilliams]

So undermarked! He is my favourite by far.

[xxxLucijaxxx]

That is definitely not for a 6, Come on! Love this choreography

[tomhayes]

Watching this now and this is soo undermarked

[RM-rctf]

The costume, song, etc let him down. Producers really need to work on this. It's harder to see his hip-action and samba bounce. His Samba walks (just like his Cha Cha walks) are exceptional. Amy's choreo is also low-key brilliant. 7.5 from me. Can we also appreciate Amy's spins at 0:40 too!?

Edit: On reflection, I would actually give this a 9. If Kevin's was an 8 then this was higher. His bounce was there, in the Botafogos he was actually doing something with his hands and again his Samba Walks are exceptional. He is also dancing on the balls of his feet, check 1:00 onwards

[julienjie]

undermarked, he was robbed, bad song terrible costume, brilliant dance

[ribena]

Watching this back for the first time and can't believe the scores.. he deserved straight 8s at least. Love this dance.

[milliewhyte]

Think this dance was the most underrated dance of the night because i thought Karim was pretty good. He can move and I liked all of his own acrobatic moves that were in it❤️

[mimimoo]

Anyone else who can't stop watching Karim and Amy's dances😹😆

[denisepickering]

Bloody amazing he was fantastic. Did not agree with the judges. Blew me away. Great natural dancer.. deserved higher score.

[hi-spfi]

Judges score?? This was way better than saffron’s one yet they scored lower ????

[alishachawdhary]

So under marked, one of my faves of the night 💕

[thedayaftertomorrow]

This was definitely undermarked. Sure, not his best performance but it was worth more than a 6. Especially when you see some of the other dances that got 6s and 5s. Hoping he won’t get knocked out like Aston did in one of the previous series as he really reminds me of him. Really hoping this doesn’t knock his confidence in himself too.

[jodie]

UNDERMARKED, FUMING
Yes it wasn’t 10 worthy, but a 6?!?!?
