How Emma and Louisa were in the dance off tonight beats me. These two have been the best dancers every week since the show began. This should have been the final. God only knows why two left feet Matt Dawson is still there I just do not know. The great British public are not voting for the best dancers but are voting for personalities. It was the same in the first series when Julian Clarey made it to the final, he was absolutely crap as well.
An Absolute Scandal

I voted for Matt Dawson and He is a GOOD DANCER!!!! I voted for him because i enjoyed his dances.
Before the first verdict was announced, the judges each picked a different "favourite"
When Emma "Gosh what a surpise!" ended up in the final two, they all picked Emma.
"What's wrong with this picture?"

Hurrah for you E Thompson!
I never thought I'd see a good post about Emma this evening ..
I agree with you .....
Don't blame Matt for Louisa going...Matt is good. Emma is also good but she should have gone. She doesn't have as much potential as Louisa did. Emma has reached her plateau.
I voted for Matt because he has improved so much since he started.
He wasn't very good at first but he is now a beautiful and competent ballroom dancer and a good Latin dancer.
Furthermore I stick by my guns that the male's have the harder role.
Not only do they have to be technically correct but they have to be able to execute lifts and lead their partner.
They have a harder job than the girls so I firmly believe that he should be there and he should win.

You've answered your own question there!
Unfortunately, SCD always turns into a personality contest, or a journey contest, or a "I'm not voting for X because they're the judge's favourite" contest.

Me too, I thought he was fantastic tonight!
What has annoyed me about tonight was CRH comment that people should be voting for the best dancer Not personalities....obviously this was aimed towards Emma and Darren as he had conveniently forgotten that Louisa and Vincent were there because THEY put them at the bottom of the board.
Anyone else sensing a little bias here?

Yes! I noticed that... it did sound a little silly to criticise people for not voting for Louisa, when he ranked her bottom!
Can we please not blame Matt for Louisa leaving? he may not be your cup of tea, but describing him as "two left feet" is just petty.

Sorry to be picky - but Julian was in SCD series 2.
The non-dancing person in SCD 1 was Chris 'batman' Parker.
But it wasn't just that comment! All through they slated Louisa. IUn the Rhumba, they couldn't say anything positive, yet I thought she had lovely leg lines, and yet angain they slated her for to much 'posing' and not enough Rhumba. Then Emma comes along, dances a Rhumba with BENT KNEES (something that they seemed to ignore) and spent the whole Rhumba with one leg in the air....and suddenly ist's fantastic!!
They just seem so hypocrytical.

Yes - I forget which, but one of the judges made some comment about how it shouldn't have been those two in the bottom two because they were among the best dances and I thought "Um, well YOU put Louisa last, guys.... the public gave her more votes than you did!"

Not as well as Mark, Louisa or Emma though.
And that is why he shouldn't be there. And he's such an unlikeable, competative moron at times. If he wins, i'm going to be highly disappointed.

Just a little bit.

I think Matt is the best ballroom dancer left. He is also capable of doing a decent latin dance.

I tend to agree. So will Mark raise his game? Should be interesting!

He's been a one trick pony half the way through though. He couldn't even do any latin at the start and he's still ropey now.
ARGH. He just SHOULDN'T BE THERE. Louisa, Mark AND Emma should.
And talking about it being a personality contest, it's not like Matt even has one. He comes across as a competative, moody arse. I think the only reason I put up with him is because I like Lilia.

SCD is a personalilty contest - and it is so because it is made one.
If it were just about the dancing, then the phone lines would not be open through the week.
There would be no ITT (and that would make me
).There would be no VT clips before the dancing.
No interviews with the dancers/celebs.
No interviews with random fans, members of family, offspring, famous friends, etc
The judges would just give their scores without any posturing or kerfuffle.
Would possibly make for a less entertaining prime time Saturday tea time show, but that's the price you pay.

He should be there. He got the most votes. I am fed up with people saying that Matt should not be in the semi-finals, he has worked very hard and has improved tremendously. It is not his thought that Louisa left.

Admittedly he has inproved, but IMHO he's not a natural dancer....he doesn't seem to have any personality, he doesn't bring a 'spark' to his dances.
That's my view anyway
