But many seem to feel Matt doesn't really deserve to be there, at least didn't deserve the 10s, even if it's not his fault.

What annoys people is Matt going into meltdown for two weeks on the spin-and being saved by the public. Look at his week when he did the foxtrot and the Samba- poor performances-compared to Tish-what happens Matt's fans feel sorry for him and vote for him

![]() First Bruno going OTT, then Len making a big song-and-dance turned a drama into a circus and fullscale meltdown, not least pulverising Matt. Craig spoke, and Len interrupted Craig, the situation was touch-and-go whether Len was going to get up and walk out. Had Len handled it with cool like Craig did, the situation would not have been perceived as anything worse than what it was -- losing a few steps towards the end, which could have happened to anybody, it did happen to Alesha. The audience was disappointed by an aborted dance, but they were traumatised by Len's handling of the crisis. I hope this is a fair and measured reply to your question. Alesha may have gained, but SCD has lost and so have the audience. I believe we are headed for a one-horse Final, more a funeral for many than an exciting Final. Quote:

Matt D earned his place in the final by producing some excellent dancing on Saturday didnt he ? |

Absolutely, I have directed most of my venom towards the judges and the Beeb. Only thinh I have said about Matt was that overall he is a weaker dancer who is overmarked
I don't deny the waltz was overmarked, but it was lovely and well executed by Matt, but Gethin's paso was not that pleasant to watch, (I can't really comment on Gethin's AT as the horror of Camilla's dress completely distracted me). *Obviously the above is just my opinion, but hey, that's the point of forums like these

Don't worry, I got your sarcasm I'm sorry to say us M&F fans are feeling a bit touchy at the moment (can you think why? ) and I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding - don't be offended!

Honestly, as a complete neutral this year, I support neither Matt/Gethin or Alesha, haven't voted for anyone at this point, I can honestly say that, on his day and on form, Matt comes across as the better, natural dancer*. Gethin improved tremendously, and did get the character of the dances towards the end, but I seriously think Matt was a better dancer.

How have the audience lost ?
Matt D earned his place in the final by producing some excellent dancing on Saturday didnt he ? Matt was carried into the final by the judges' favouritism. His comeback was great and praise well-deserved, but the OTT hysterical gushing directed at him was so transparent even a child could see through it. THIS is why the audience has lost - the judges have fixed who they wanted in the final (their revenge for last year when Emma Bunton didn't make it - or them guaranteeing that at least a finalist would take part in the SCD tour for next year?).

Hasn't the SCD Tour already got a winner taking part in Darren Gough and a runner up in Chris Parker? Surely they only need to have good dancers - or at least people who enjoy dancing.

That's how it seemed to me - all the judges did was praise him for his "comeback" so essentially he was rewarded for doing badly last week with overmarking this week.
It's like when you were in school and the naughty kids were sent to Alton Towers as a treat for being well behaved for most of term when all the good pupils are left behind in lessons with piles of homework. |

I happen, perhaps in the minority, to think that Matt is putting on a kind of act - not in a horrible way,...but - remember - when he was laughing and joking around all the time people said he wasn't working and he was put at one point in the bottom two.
When he messed up and was upset and downhearted-looking he was voted above both Letitia - but more importantly Alesha. That must have entered his head that the sympathy vote is a powerful thing. Lets not forget Kate! I'm not being horrible to him - but he has seen that laughing and joking all the time does not seem to go down well. I hope he puts out an amazing performance on saturday and that he bucks up - because I think people do tire quite quickly with people feeling sorry for themselves. A similar situation is about to recur. Twice this week Craig has said he is worried about Matt doing 5 dances on Saturday. Today he jokily said it is causing him loss of sleep. Any dance which even reaches completion would be understandably received as an achievement, with relief and gratitude -- congratulations for no meltdown. |

The above post was seen on Thursday 13th December after ITT, whose clips from rehearsal painted a horrendous picture of Matt and Flavia at loggerheads and Matt at that late stage still not getting his dances. All who saw this footage were alarmed. 2 days later all who saw an absence of meltdown experienced a tremendous sense of relief, and perhaps gratitude and euphoria.
