Matt was not that great yet all gave him 10s?? even Craig??

It wasn't that good and Craig doesn't give dances like that 10s!!!

Very weird.


Do you think they are trying to get Matt to the final because he is in the tour?

If so maybe Claudia should raise this on ITT. Matt doesn't deserve to be in the final

I'm sure it was staged in a way to help Matt. LIke doing hsi AT first and having the easiest dance to do. He also wasn't first or last which helps.

With Craig's 10 for Matt, it's either a fix, or reverse psychology. Either way, it stinks, and I've lost most of my faith in the one judge I thought I could trust (Craig).

Helping him because Matt is EastEnders and doing the tour-it stinks to high heavan. Arlene, Craig, Len and Bruno I hope you are proud of yourselves for screwing Gething out of his place in the final with your ridiculous overmarking

Also, the way it started with Len standing up and clapping was cringeworthy. I was like WTF are you doing!!??

Regardless of Matt, I want matt out because of Len doing that

I think Craig was right in his opinion to give it a 10.

Well I'd be interested to hear why

You make me laugh.. the minute someone other then Gethin doesnt get good remarks or scores, the show is suddenly a fix!

Yesterday after ITT I posted that I thought they were editing in favour of Matt to be in the final and against Gethin and I got slated.

I am so glad to see this thread.

It's not so much that it is Matt's overmarking that is annoying.

I thought he was starting a Mexican wave.

I felt the whole thing was very odd but if the judges do want Alesha to win the whole thing (based on the fact they think she's the best dancer) the obvious opponent in the final is Matt not Gethin.

No, just not Matt

I'm glad other people think the scoring was odd, and that's not taking anything away from Matt and Flavia's wonderful waltz. But I do find the judges' behaviour strange this year, particularly Len, who seems to be acting more and more oddly. I think either stardom (especially with Dancing with the Stars fame too) has gone to Len's head or he's got old timer's disease.

Why-what is so special about Matt's dancing as opposed to Gethin's

I think the FM who says it's all a Commie plot is yet to post on this thread.

Gethin is more reliable under pressure- Matt can go either way. Alesha will win vs. Matt - guaranteed

Can I ask if any of the Gethinites complained about the overmarking of gethin the last couple of weeks?

I have not voted Matt btw-- I think this is a furthering of what has been happening all series- when they score the first dance high they leave themselves no where else to go-- no conspiracy!

Probably not much consolation but I will be most surprised if Gethin leaves tonight as he has clearly had the highest viewer vote over the series so far

Both were technically great, but the judges obviously thought that Matt's waltz was either technically better, or thought it had the wow factor - which is a very subjective thing and affects each person differently.

Plus, the only person that thought Matt's waltz was more special than Gethin's was Craig - it's not as if they all come to a collective score out of 40; they all judge independently out of 10. It's ridiculous how one person's opinion can cause so much furore.

Of course it's all fixed people. Let's face it, why should the judges actually award a good dance a good score.

On these forums Matt was in a no-win situation. If he f**ked up, everyone would say he didn't deserve to be in the final. If he did well, it would be fixed. Great stuff!
