Hopefully a decent non media-loving person like Matt will win
I'm sick of knowing media types winning reality tv shows. The sort who phone up the paps before they leave their home.I want a winner I can respect. Hopefully Matt will succeed next week. Its time for class to shine through for a change.

BTW - respect should be earned, not just given for being on a TV show......... |

I can't think of a strictly winner who's gone on to do anything other than what they've done before???

Matt inherits a lot of votes from being on Countryfile and The One Show, regardless of his talent as a dancer. He is the one with the most exposure on tv (the most important part of the media) and has some inherent advantage stemming from that.

Well I haven't seen Matt. Kara or Pamela pop up in the press being papped on their doorstep and I thought they were the only ones in the final... or have I perhaps missed a fourth finalist.
Quite an offensive turn of phrase for a thread |

Whats a non media loving person? lol.
Matt's job is in the media so I would presume that he must love the media-medium to some degree? |

I wonder why my post asking what a "knowing media type" was has been removed from this thread?
![]() I think it was an entirely legitimate question. |

You could have saved time with your thread title by just typing "Hopefully Matt will win."

was it in reply to another post? If so, it may have been because you quoted the other post that has been removed!
I don't think I quoted anyone else's post. Not even the OP's if I recall correctly. ![]() It seems a bit of a strange thing to do. |

Because, and I hate to have to break this to you, that's the only type of person who'll be in those shows. In other words, duh. Quote:

Let's see: -
Matt is on Countryfile & the One Show, has done Blue Peter & Secret Britain. Pamela has her column in the Guardian & is married to Parky's favourite guest and recently had a birthday. Kara WAS on EE and has done a documentary about dyslexia. |

Matts job is purely as a media presenter therefore selling himself to the public is his full time job. Kara is an actress and Pamela a doctor. They are all media savvy but Matt is the only full time media personality rather than a person with a day job which requires them to work with the media to promote themselves.

How dare you! She's out of work since EE! Okay, maybe she's seeing this SCD as her stepping stone to more work in the future, but that's not being a media whore? Matt, on the other hand, was presenting Countryfile (and before that BP), winning two BAFTAs. In that sense he's more of a seasoned media personality than Kara! Not that there's anything wrong with that!And Pam, oh well, to quote Thumper: if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

If you are implying Kara, then you couldn't be more wrong. She has done no more media than other celeb - probably less than Pamela - and stamped on two fabricated (and sensational) pieces to prevent unwarranted attention. Can you name the media types for us, so we know who you're pointing your mean little digit at? Ta. |

Oh this isn't very nice. Matt is all over the media. I haven't noticed any of the other contestants falling into your definition.

Aww come on! Kara does underwear shots... all three are media savvy and use the media in different ways.
Another fairly level playing field, along with their previous dance experience. Matt has by far the highest profile of the three. And neither Kara nor Pamela have jobs at the BBC (indeed, Pamela doesn't appear to have any desire to return to performing at all). I'm sure Kara wouldn't have had to do modelling work at all if she'd got more acting jobs. But them's the breaks ... I don't think that was about increasing her media profile. I'd say it was about earning money. ![]() If the OP wants Matt to win, fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But they seem to have a rather strange view of the world, and of Matt. To have progressed as far in his career as he has, he must be 'media-loving', surely? ![]()

You try to find recent pap shot of her that are of the pre-arranged type insinuated by the OP - you'll be disappointed. |
