And of course-

How many did he get for the waltz? 40 seems very low now.
Maybe it was meant to be 40 per step?

Let's see-90 seconds say 1 step a second-90x40=3,600 plus 1000 for the lovely beginning and ending=

4,600

That's better.”

But you forgot about the fall and rise, surely that doubles it

. So 9,200 it is.

Hmm, it wasn't a VW.
If you thought it was then that must mean its overriding "feel" was one of spin, rotation and speed.

For a waltz the impression is a slower rise and fall.

Well, I don't think it was a great waltz. Many people have commented on the rise (I didn't spot much) coming from knees and not feet.

It certainly didn't have any VW about it at all!

Artistically VW is exciting and slightly breathless. Waltz should be more intimate/ dreamy.

For a lot of us we thought the performance aspect was lacking. The facial blankness has been commented upon and Matt has taken quite a bit of criticism for his counting and undue apparent concentration on the next stage in the routine. At the expense of the artistic elements.

Just trying to explain...
It makes a mockery of having pro judges when they award 10s for such a dance. Nobody has merited a 10 so far.

But they are left at this stage having to hype up the programme when few of us can any longer stomach their empty superlatives.”

And as for the 'facial blankness' and 'counting' that must be a worth 4 10s.

Now who's in the final again????

LMAO paddles.com.

I think your gonna need more than 4..Brucie will need one aswell...and the whole audience ”

And all his Fans watching at home. Of course, if you read some of the threads, there are only 12 of us. Didn't we do a great job then in the quarter final getting him millions of votes to get through.

Maybe it is 'I'm a Latent God' and we had a bit of divine help!-or maybe he has a lot of supporters out there!

Of course-silly me! 4,600 for the rise, 4,600 for the fall.

Should we add a bit more for the way they walked down and up the stairs?

1000 each way?

9,200+2000=11,200

40 indeed!! No wonder this thread is questioning the score!

Timed by the number of steps, let me think how many are there, 3 or 4. Well let's not be overgenerous and say 3 times 1000 times 2 which makes 6000 plus the 9,200 = 15,200.

You are right that explains this thread and the questioning on ITT, they must be so embarrassed about the low score. I'm sure Matt will win because of that *conspiracy*

By voting 360 times and dividing that by 40, I voted 9 times per point. Probably because every point was worth it.

But hey hoy, I suppose if you have the best choreography in the whole show then your bound to get the points you deserve eventually.
