The judges must have known the voting figures week by week so should not have been surprised by the final result. Their unprofessional, ungracious and rude reaction to the result must have been expected.

But maybe they didn't? We'll probably never know for sure.

I know Philip has always said he doesn't know the voting figures & rightly so. Personally I would be shocked if they did.
They must have had an inkling though with Beth not being in a skate off whereas Matt was. However they will probably be as shocked as the rest of us to the extent of his unpopularity
You keep referring to her (here and on the other 'votes' thread) as 'Bronze Girl' as if it is some kind of slight when in fact a bronze medal at the Olympics is a massive achievement, as is being a World Champion, which I think she also was.
I never said it was a "slight" did I? It's just in response to the many "Golden boy" posts.
Haven't all the Beth haters gone quiet now that we can see if Beth had only got half the votes she got she would have still won by miles. Has there ever been such a massive vote difference between winner and runner up. Had Gareth got through Matt would have been beaten into third position!!!

Someone said Hayley won by 83%
And Ray won by about the same amount as Beth - though Donal was a more popular runner up than Matt
All of the DOI finals (the ones we know the results of anyway) seem to be landslides. Sam and Brianne's 63% is the lowest winning percentage of the recent series.
Yes, I was gutted for Gareth, it would most certainly have been a Beth/Gareth final if he was able to compete.
So does this answer why we were never told who would have been bottom 2 the week Gareth was ill? I can't remember scores but it looks to me (unless I'm getting confused) that the skate off would have been Matt and Luke? They made it sound like Gareth was in the skate off and withdrew as not well enough to continue.
I think it's clear that the producers knew something about the voting even if not exact percentages. There was no other reason why Matt got such consistently high scores and didn't even get picked up on the technique like others were. Even when they got good scores there was (and in fairness actually is) something to work on.

Famous quote from Raging Bull - somewhat descriptive of Matt's skating style I would say
But maybe they didn't? We'll probably never know for sure.
They do now
I hope the judges are choking on that figure!
I thought they might've been pushing Matt cause they possibly knew he hadn't been doing so well in the vote . . . we'll never know that though.
Must admit I'm a bit gutted poor Gareth could've been in the final if he hadn't had to withdraw

Me too, and look at how popular he was with the public when he didn't even fly.

Now that I would have love to seen

The judges would have had apoplexy!:D
Utter shame about Gareth, he would have been in the final for sure.
75% for Beth in the Final? Second biggest landslide in DOI history is quite an achievement.

It would have been Luke v Gareth.
