I thought Adam was great. His fan base is huge as he is a very well-known country singer. I think some of the people who have made comments have spent their lives under a rock if they haven’t heard of him. His entertainment value is delightful and he can laugh at himself a trait some of his knockers should try. It make him so likeable and human. Love the show. It is the first time I have ever voted and it was worth it seeing them win. I hope someone with as much normality and likeability is included in the next show. I can’t wait.

Adam is supposedly going out with his dance partner.

Once again, it’s not a dancesport competition, it’s a television show and that is just plain old entertainment people…
Coming from a Ballroom & Latin dancer and teacher, I firmly believe that Kylie was not the best dancer in the competition, and not a performer by any means, she was at times awkward and unstable, she had horrible top line and posture however with more time, confidence, ‘lower heels’ being an ametuer and more practise she could’ve been fabulous. Adam never claimed to be a great dancer and looking at his face he felt terrible about being in the grand final, let alone winning, but he was extremely entertaining, fun to watch and down to earth, and that my friends is entertainment and that is a true performer at their best which won the heart of most australians and that is how he won. A fantastic charity too, and for it to be personal like his was, even better for it.
To say Kylie was the best is a person’s opinion, probably someone who warmed to her and then became a fan of hers, which is great and everyone is entitled to an opinion for sure, but how about you show your opinion by encuraging support and comments towards Kylie, not negativity, criticism, or rediculous accusations of ‘rigging’ or personal attacks against others.

It was a great show … I thought Matt White was the best dancer and the most improved and should have won but Adam was by far the most entertaining and it has done no end of wonders for his profile and career … even a new No 1 album I hear! It seems that some people really Do vote … and that is why he won!
Sonya is fabulous and deserves her own show … hell, her own Network! So much better to have her and Daniel hosting instead of self indulgent Daryl … thank god he is gone!

Jade Hatcher is smokin’ hot

Why do people still actually care about who wins in this show!?!? This show is becoming far too serious for its own good. The reason I used to watch was to laugh at the really bad dancers like Mollie, and Daryn Hinch. Now the judges don’t seem to have a funny side to their comments.

If you want to see good amature dancing, then watch American So You Think You Can Dance. Then compare that to Kylie’s slow and boring routines.

Well said Shelley !

Seriously guys, making personal comments about someone you don’t know is just not cool.. Think about how you’d feel if the shoe was on the other foot…

Adam tried just as hard as everyone else and you may not have known him before the show, but clearly loads of others did! Look outside your own world, so your favourite didn’t win, but thousands of other’s favourite did!
Matt was the best dancer in the final, Jess Macnamee was the best dancer of this series but she didn’t win many hearts and if she has fans then they didn’t vote enough, so that’s the way the cookie crumbles.. It’s dancing with the ‘stars’ not dancing with the dancesport professionals, half judges votes half viewers votes, whoever has the most fans and wins the most hearts will win the competition and always does, deal with it and stop whingeing already!
Great guy, great charity and good on him and Jade if they’ve found love along the way, keep romance alive guys and congrats! xx

Shows like this are not about talent but are about publicity … that’s what you get when you put people who don’t know about the industry and ‘real’ tallent in charge. Not that it really matters with DWTS …

They need to change the voting system because australians are idiots. Judges points should be worth more, cos matt’s last dance was brilliant, and adam’s was well boring. He didn’t even seem like he wanted the bloody trophy, the first thing he did with it was let matt white hold it.

I’m very happy that Adam won, though it did take awhile before I warmed to him.

People seem to get confused as to who the show works. It’s primarily a popularity contest as the viewer vote will always win out. Presumably viewers will vote for who entertains them the most and who they want to continue to watch more so than Actual dancing talent.

Personally, I find I get turned off by the serious contenders…those who desperately want to win. I got that sense from both Kylie and Matt. Maybe it’s just a desire to see the underdog win through.

Another factor is that the results are determined by those viewers that are prepared to put their hand in their pocket to support who they like. I wonder if they fit a specific sort of psychological profile? Also, are the charities nominated by the celebrities a factor? Give the surprise result, perhaps it was a confluence of these factors that saw Adam win.

I think it was cool for Adam he was the outsider who just kept trying and smiling. Yes the public vote counted but it always has. Thats the unknown factor that keeps people tuning in. I think the two fav’s cancelled each other out.
