what can I say Matt ! how can you get 30 out of 30 and still lose ? I thought it was a dance contest not a popularity contest...... you were superb and my husband and I were so excited for you!! You must feel cheated and disappointed that all the hardwork and effort that you put in was not enough. Adam was entertaining but you were spectacular !! well done and congrats..... you are the real winner !!!!
Matt, Brilliant job tonight. Both yourself and Ashleigh were a credit to the hard work, talent and dedication that saw you reach the final. I find it difficult to come to terms with the farce that the whole system obviously is. No doubt you are extremely dissapointed with the nonsensical result. Look, I don't want to come across as some hypersensitive psycho, but "Give me a Break". This was not a Mr. Nice Guy Contest. This was, I assumed a DANCE CONTEST. And this resul ...
so disappointed to see you lost - Adam was very entertaining but you were by far my fav, such a brilliant progression, well done for making it this far.
cant believe he lost!! he scored 30/30 for da last dance!!! itz just unbelievable dat he lost!!!!
It was a set up!as usual!how come that country singer that all the judges said he was terrible could win!I'm sick of these shows which the winner is already chosen!same thing happened in master chief channel ten.Since Jess McNamee was eliminated it was obvious sth is going on.( I have put the same post in Kylie page too)

Hello Matt, My family and I watched you and Ash-Leigh dance last night and we all thought that your Cha Cha and Segue were truly spectacular and was shocked when you did not get the extra 10 points. You are getting better and better and it is a pleasure to watch you and Ash-Leigh dance . Matt,your family must be very proud of you. GOOD LUCK MATT, we hope you win, you really deserve it.
Thankyou Matt for dancing so hard and supporting the many brave and beautiful HeartKids around Australia. Our little 18month old son has just battled his way through his 3rd openheart surgery. He now has enough energy to do a little dance himself- even if it is to Bob the Builder! We have experienced 1st hand the support of HeartKids, so dance hard it is a worthy cause.
