I don't think he carries that much popularity from EE.

I'm not the biggest fan, but I resent the fact that this is trotted out about every goodlooking male. What about the goodlooking women like Alesha - who voted for her? (Or was it everyone voting for her pro partner?)

Also, he is a very good dance - in fact, when he's good, he's really very good. He has suffered from some inconsistency during the series, but it's unfair to assume that out of his 5 dances in the final, he'll only do 2 right, make mistakes in 2 and forget what he's doing in the 5th. Flavia has choreographed some fantastic routines, and bar one or two glitches, he hasn't let her down in them.

No, no and thrice no.

First, the boy can dance - in fact, I firmly believe he can dance better than just about every other male contestant ever with the possible exception of Colin Jackson. Even Ramps couldn't come close to Matt's ballroom.

Second, I also like him because I think he has a very good take on the world for a lad who could well have been turned into a horrific little brat by EE.

And for my third 'no' - he's 20 and still maturing emotionally (despite his good take on the world). I'm 27 and prefer a man to a boy, thanks very much.

I don't fancy him in the slightest - he's a very pretty boy but far too young for me and I don't fancy 'boyish' types (all the famous people I have crushes on are around 40-ish!).

He is, however, a very good dancer in my opinion when he's on form. He also comes across as a sweet, open person and that's quite endearing.

So no, I like him as a dancer and have also taken to him as a personality but am definitely not swayed either way by fancying him or otherwise.

Hope that helps

What a boring start to a thread.

In the spirit of equal opportunities for straight males and I guess gay females, shouldn't there also be a thread entitled "Do people only like Matt because they fancy Flavia"?

I'm sure SCD voters aren't so shallow that they just vote for people solely based on their looks. Sure, Matt is good-looking but that's definitely not the reason I vote for him - it's purely based on his dancing. His American Smooth, Jive, Salsa, Quickstep, Waltz and Argentine Tango have all been brilliant to watch and I think he's a very talented dancer and definitely deserves to be in the final.

On the Heatworld website, they said who do you want to win, and I am not lying, most people (young girls I am thinking) said they want Matt to win because he is fit, hot and sweet.

That just sums up the typical Heat readership.

True, I had ago out them though num-nuts, there's more to people then looks, how shallow are some people this is a dancing comp, not who is the best looking

To be truthful a good looking male does have an advantage as there is certainly a percentage who will get drawn to someone because they fancy them. With SCD's mainly female audience this is more likely to happen with the male celebs than female.

But to say they only vote for him because of that simplifies it too much. He can dance of course!

Not sure if I get your question right: to put it logically, people may like Matt because they fancy him, or they think he is a good dancer, or both. These reasons for liking him are not mutually exclusive.

In fact, people's feeling of Matt being a good dancer could be the reason they fancy him and therefore like him!

So my attempt to answer your question fully - I do like Matt because I fancy him. I fancy him becasue he is a good dancer.

There!

P.S. There are better looking male contestants on the show - e.g. Gethin. He does look so yummy in THAT uniform. I do, however, prefer Matt's dancing and therefore fancy Matt not Gethin.

(It makes perfect sense to me )

I don't watch EE so hadn't a clue who Matt is and as my son is older than him I certainly do not fancy him.

I cannot comment on his acting from EE but he sure can act on SCD and I am not an expert on dancing but as the judges say he can and is one of the best then I think i will agree with them rather than the OP.

Don't fancy him at all but love his dancing when he is on form, he and Flavia have that magic extra quality to their partnership in the same way that Alesha and Matthew do.

I didn't like him on EE because his character Deano is so blah, but having seen him on ITT I've really warmed to him and despite some recent nerve issues, I think he's a good dancer.

Also, he is a very good dance - in fact, when he's good, he's really very good.
^ I agree with that (I'm an Alesha fan by the way )

I do think he's a good looking lad, but I don't find him fanciable, maybe when he's a bit more mature!

I find him slightly annoying in character, sometimes I think "aww you're sweet" but then a lot of the time he will say something that makes me go ARGH!

So I don't find him attractive physically or personality wise, and I'm not supporting him, but I still think that when on form he is a very good dancer!

Wow, are people really that shallow to ask that question in the first place?

I vote for him as he is good - last weekend was excellent and if he's good this weekend I shall vote.
And no I do not fancy him.

You've just registered this month and this is your 'honest' question?

Honestly?

Gosh, very sad, sad soul you are. Either that or perhaps you are just seeking attention? Well, for a jolly Christmas mood, I shall grant you one: I have brought your post to the attention of the moderator.

Happy Holidays!
