Your in a romance story (Kara) or up against a totally horrific finalist. Eg Julian, Chris Parker.

Only Alesha I think has managed to win and by then many would have been voting for Matt DiAngelo. (Would have lost if Gethin would have been in final IMO)

Says it all really.

Surely doomed to lose.

Well, it could be said the same for Louis, that he won because he was young, athletic and attractive.

Like Harry Judd.

Kimberley had the fanbase for sure, but many were swooning at Louis..

it's you're not your - as in you are.

And your hypothesis is deeply flawed.

If Louis had danced the same quality as say Nicky. I still think he would have won. Even if he got 8's on the final.

The voters are just voting for him cause he is male and I stick to my statement that if your an attractive female who is clearly an amazing dancer you will not win. Or be very unlikely to win. Unless the male cast is rubbish.

Kara won because she was the best dancer.

Edited.

I disagree. If Jill Halfpenny competed on this series Louis Smith still would have won.

Why do people see sexism in shadows? I could have put money someone starting a peevish thread like this.

I see the grapes are sour tonight....plenty of them also in the DM comments page and most all of them men.

Kara won because of the romance story with Artem and the fact that Matt was getting low marks and slated by the judges. If he had been praised Matt would have won.

That goes for all reality TV shows that allow the public to interact, unfortunately.

The majority of winners across the entire board have been dire due to pathetic females drooling over the male contestants and voting for them 50 times.

My hubby watched SCD final with me and he said the same. He couldn't believe how good Louis was once he over the topless bit.

True. But she had no competition. If Harry were on her season, despite her being the superior dancer, she probably would have lost. I say probably because the romance with Artem is a wildcard. Since there are mainly women watching and voting, they tend to go for male dancers. But they adored the romance as well, so it's a toss up.

And men don't vote with their genitals. Funnily enough the men I know who voted for Louis are fit with no beer bellies.

Kara was Lucky Matt wasnt in a boyband or a Olympian.

Seriously?? Jill's still a good dancer she's the best female winner out of all the female winners


Kara was the best dancer in her series.

I remember Kara's year we had an "insider" on here saying Matt was way ahead in the voting every week. When Kara won it was a bit of a surprise - people were convinced it would be Matt.

I think her superior dancing won out rather than the romance to be honest.

Only males have the option of taking their top off

Mr _XcX. Your remark makes no sense. Matt didn't get the praise because he wasn't as good a dancer as Kara. Plus ultimately the public decide - not the judges praise or lack of praise. Kara got plenty of scorn from Len for her AS and Craig with his toe obsession.

If you remember Matt was fave to win I think.

The judges ripped him apart on the final and he had the lowest score for each dance.

This along with the romance made Kara win.

I am just concerned that next series the "fit" male celeb will win again.

The year with Lisa Snowdon and Rachel losing over Tom has got to be the biggest disgrace though. Louis was a capable dance but his is no where in Kim or Denise's league.

Unless ... you are Natasha, Jill, Alesha or Kara.

Where as most of those relishing the result are female, funny that.

That was because by then they wanted Pamela to win.

Once she was out they switched to Kara. However, Len had to be consistent and mark down her AS.

Agreed. She was very good but the cooing over the romance was deafening.

Natasha = Up Against Christopher Parker who was horrific
Jill = Up against Julian who clearly did not deserve to be at the final
Alesha = Won because it was a dead on fight between her and Matt. Many rallied Matt DiAngelo if I remember correctly but thank goodness she won.
Kara = Romance Story and Matt Baker getting severely marked down.
