I genuinely do believe this was an act of retribution on the part of the judges, but not towards Matt, but Aliona!
She had similar comments last year from Len, I'm sure one dance they didn't even give feeback to Rav they just told Aliona off for the choreography.
However my opinion of Aliona isn't the same as others on here!
1) She must be a good choreographer as correct me if I'm worng but her and Matt did some amazing pro dances and she muct have been part of the choreography.
2)She has clearly stated that she is choreographing for the publics enjoyment and in this respect she is winning, Matt is the only contestant to get a standing ovation every week, if you watch clips back there are none that get as many standing ovations as Matt.
3) I see her choreography as a different tactic to other pros, I did point this out earlier but it's worth mentioning again, most pros try to please Len, but Aliona is thinking stuff it I just want the public to love it. In fairness to Aliona as there is now no dance off, her tactic is actually genius, what's the point in getting bogged down in rules and basic steps when you can wow people with gymnastics and lifts? The public do seem to love Matt and if his popularity stays constant with Aliona's crowd pleasing routines, it wouldn't matter how amazing his opposition in the fina,l she would have already done her work cultivating the popular opinion. Also I think her tactic has the added advantage of ensuring she stays longer as she has a controversy angle too!
As a non dance pro I appreciate that those of you with a passion for ballroom dancing wouldn't like this, and as a non expert, with only Strcitly as my knowledge base, I personally would also like to see more content and less getting between wow lifts, but I think Aliona is getting a lot of stick for choreography being selfish which I don't think it is , it is just a clever tactic that is actually working so far!
That is why the judges are angry and frustrated and yes it did reflect in their scores!”

reckon the judges have had some sort of argument with their producer.
