how come alesha gave an 8 to matt whereas she gave a 9 to scott who completely messed up his routine or dance or whatever???

[maxwelldemonhandjive]

I am so mad at this weeks show. How can Aleesha give this an 8 when she gave Scott a 9? Scott messed up loads and almost stopped a couple of times, and whilst this isn't Matt's best dance he didn't make any mistakes and it was quite clean and sharpe. I feel sorry for him, the judges really don't like him at all and seem to nitpick at every little thing (remember the thumbs) but kiss Scott's arse so bad, and I think even he knows it now, he seemed genuinely shocked he got a 9 and knew he did bad!

I think this is my favorit by them :)

Ok i have to admit Matt spinning is a bit out of control but none the less it's still very nice!

I was a bit bewildered by this the first time I saw it, I think because it was so different to your 'typical' Strictly dance. But it gets better every time I rewatch it, and now I LOVE IT! Really expressive and moving, and Matt danced it beautifully.

Would have thought the judges ought to have appreciated how these two were pushing the envelope here. What did they want? A run-of-the-mill 'safe' dance? Humph.

this was my fav dance of Matt and Aliona and I was shocked of the judges response and feel they are trying to get the viewers not to like him--but i realy hope he wins as he has worked the hardest!!

[magicsupamoggie]

Aleishas comments for this dance were so stupid I couldn't believe it and for Bruno to follow suit was so surprising. Len of all people I thought you would have got it. Craig was nearer the mark that any of the judges.

For Len to say that "if Aliona had to explain it then it hasn't worked " was ludicrous. She only had to explain it to the judges because they didn't get it!!! The audience obviously did and so did I!

Matt and Aliona you were awsome in this dance!

@maxwelldemonhandjive To be honest, I don't think they like Aliona either... I remember the first she was ever on the show.  They were quite rude to her.

[ibbotson22]

@bernicegrace because she doesn't know what she is doing

[EloiseDecember]

I dont think at this stage that anyone can take the judges seriously.

[deathlizard]

@poshtamfan I totally agree. I was annoyed when Len said "if you have to explain it, it didn't work". I think the judges must have been watching a totally different dance to the one we were all watching!

[JM4EDR]

Alesha clearly doesn't like Matt so whatever happens, she won't mark him highly, but I'm not a huge fan of Aliona's choreograhy, I think it's a bit dull.

Love Matt though.

I don't know why the judges undermarked this cos it is absolutely beautiful. Love Aliona, she is an amazing choreographer and Matt is great! It was absolutely stunning and love the song! Love the beginning and love 1.31-1.34 and 0.31-0.36 love what Aliona's doing! Can't stop watching it again and I have to say n the results show loved James and Ola rumba - AMAZING!
