The public voted for Labour and now the con/lib pact. Shows the public r mindless sheep who love the hype.

They werent an item. Artem said no romance until the show was over.

I don't think that argument works otherwise Kristina and Joe would have won last year

I would have liked to have seen Matt dance more and backflip less.

r they? pmsl!!

For goodness sake, a very good dancer won. Matt was dull and Kara was a much better technical dancer. Hardly a travesty.

I agree with the above, the public made the right choice!

3 negative posts as an intro to DS , you sound like a real charmer

AGREED!

Kara reminded me very much of Jill Halfpenny when she was in Series Two - rather smug!

Blatantly obvious that the judges favoured her and Artem right from the beginning - how many of the other celebs received 10s despite stumbling etc during their dances?

Kara only won because she had the best spin machine behind her.

Scott received tens just for turning up.

Pamela...

Oh goody, haven't heard smug enough this series. Not like in Tom's year.

And the bit in bold? Quite a few this year, Pamela stumbled in most of her 10 dances, Scott scored a 9 for forgetting 3/4 of a routine, the judges scores have been a complete mystery this season but imo, Kara was far and away the best dancer that Strictly have ever seen. Her dances moved me, touched me and made me cry like nothing I've ever seen.

But hey, you have just as much right to disagree.

Sorry but what is wrong with people voicing their sadness for their favourites?

Okay, maybe I wouldn't of been as nasty as the OP, but I did want Matt to win
Kara was brilliant though so fair play to her.

That actually made me laugh , Kara must be one of the least smugest people I have seen . She is gracious and a lovely gentle non assuming girl IMO
Have you seen her programme on dyslexia at all ?

It must have been a very little one, was it on stage in front of the band?

Pamela???

(with apologies to Pamela fans)

Nothing all all wrong wit voicing that ,But to open a thread with a Booooooo for the winner is a mean spirited thing to do .

Well...she played the 'I am nice' card though didn't she...which people clearly fell for...as well as the tears lark...which I have no truck with. Remember...she had quite a bit of dance experience prior to Strictly.

No. A good dancer acts the part. Actually Kara and Artem were often accused of having no chemistry at times. Some of the best chemistry has come from celebs who are married.

It is how you perform on the night and if you act the part.

I can understand the disappoint of Matt not winning. He was fabulous but I disagree with this line of thinking. Being convincing in a romantic dance is the ability to act not whether a couple is actually together. Besides I thought Matt and Alona had great chemistry so I am not sure what you are talking about.

Whatever...she just played a good media / tabloid game. There was nothing endearing about her at all. Matt...you are my winner.

Matt wasn't robbed, he simply got less votes than Kara. I thought he was a very good dancer, maybe a bit too eager though. I'm pleased Kara won but think Matt was very gracious in defeat.

Matt was not robbed! Kara and Artem were worthy winners, they have danced beautifully throughout the series, and for the first time, imo since Mark Ramprakash won the right couple won. Having said that Matt was so gracious in defeat that I warmed to him for the first time in the whole series!!

Have you made him a glitterball then?

Kara and Artem arent genuine. They are just thinking about the OK and Hello deals post Strictly. Gutted that Matt didn't win.

This post completely baffles me.

So Matt isnt nice ? and Matt didnt cry ? and Matt has no previous dance experience ? I think you will find you are wrong on all three counts.
