Matt can't take criticism, never seen a celebrity take it this badly.

Ha ha, fight going on between James Scott and Artem in the background

Isn't Matt Baker on the BBC as well, the new host of The One Show?

Why on earth are the judges not saying something to Aliona about the choreography????

Poor Matt is caught between a rock and a hard place.


That would be about right going by their ability.

I thought it was slow and pedestrian, but 7s and you think back to Scott's 9s.

I don't blame Matt. He really put everything into it. But I blame entirely on Aliona for doing that pants of the salsa. Why those silly lifts??? Why?

It seems to me that the judges have been letdown by Aliona's choreography all series and just let it all out tonight.

It does seem they are way more critical of Matt ...... it wasn't the best routine (due to Aliona's choreography mainly I think), but didn't deserve such harsh comments imo.

It's because he's not ScoTTTTTTTTTT

I am sick of these judges. Its obvious they want a Pam, Scott and Kara final.

Something about Matt makes me really angry. Bitching about Alesha in his VT last week especially annoyed me. The 'Of course I look strained because i'm putting everything into the dance' excuse annoyed me too because a really good dancer can manage both.

"Two lifts, Why!!!!!! You need all the points."


Not the best time to have your weakest dance - I do feel sorry for him, but.. You have a point.

But Scott and the girls have made the point who is better...

Aliona's reaction is worse, IMO. She may not always agree with the judges but she has openly laughed at some of Len's comments before and clearly doesn't respect him as a judge.

I'm all confused now haha! But regardless, I think there was too many But at least he is guaranteed the public support by putting on the 'what more can I do sad look face'! Perhaps ask Aliona to choreograph something that resembles a Salsa

Oh God - Prophet of Doom.

You're right, of course.

You have to be fair, the judges were very harsh with him tonight.

Matt let down again by a poor song choice and a poorly choreographed routine.

i still don't understand how the elimination works in this dance

I agree. I don't like her music choices, or her choreography.
He has the ability to win, but sadly she has let him down.

That is why I think he will get the sympathy vote night.

Perhaps now he'll understand how much guts it takes for Gavin to get up and do a dance every week knowing he's probably going to be torn to pieces.

I do feel sorry for Matt though, it wasn't that bad!

I agree, Matt doing the best he can with c**p choreography

here we go Gav is screwed

what will be will be.
