I personally am glad that we aren't just seeing another same old quickstep or waltz etc etc, it's refreshing to see something so new to the show, and Flavia always does such complex and stunning choreography. I am so happy that she and the guys came up with this dance
Some viewers may just be in a rut of watching the same old performances and need to open up to the more modern dances and choreography. We don't all want to end up like Len now do we

Just because some of us didn't like doesn't mean we're stuck in a rut or like Len, there's no law that says we have to like it! I'm a big Flavia fan and I really disliked it, but that doesn't make me like Flavia any less it just means I didn't enjoy this particular dance

I've seen her do much better choreography, and I think I was expecting that showdance to be so much more than it was.
For the record, I didn't find it shocking, I just found it messy and it didn't have the 'wow' factor for me - too much dragging Flavia around the floor with the scarves, there was no need for the guys to be barefoot, it just looked strange and no offence to Flavia, but that catsuit was awful. The lifts were good, but I would much rather have seen her choreograph a proper showdance without gimmicks, which we all know she can do fabulously. Does that make me boring? Maybe, but I don't care.

It was announced as a tango 'unleashed', which it really didn't need to be, that's where complaints are coming from I think. Flavia and Vincent did about 10 seconds of tango, but the rest was definitely just a showdance.
