According to UNILAD, the pair have decided to dial things down as they were told by many that their routine was a bit too edgy and heated for the audience and the judges alike. 

Their move in question, which was considered risqué, was a neck straddle. It saw the female skater wrapping her legs around the guy's shoulders and grabbing the back of his head.
