Every now again we get threads on here asking ‘Who are you going to vote for now so or so has gone out?’
Surely the whole point of a competition is to vote for the best dance on that particular night?
If we only vote for people we like, then there’s not much point in the celebs and skaters skating is there? Because regardless of the performance people are voting for personalities.
The same thing happened on SCD.
I’ve voted for all of them over the weeks (except Bonnie, because she hardly skates and Kelly because she was never good enough.) I’m a big fan of John Barrowman, but I didn’t vote for him the night he went out because he skated poorly.

I am not a judge on there however and I don't vote on a weekly basis of who is best. I like Gaynor and Dan and whilst admiting that Gaynor hasn't always been the best, she is improving as is Stefan. So I have a favourite, can't help it and will vote for that favourite. I also like John and Sean, but both have gone from the competition now and if Gaynor goes next, my support will tranfer to Stefan.
i wont vote again
In my opinion its just so wrong for Bonnie still to be in the comp. Every week she and Matt base their routine on lifts, spins, twirls etc.
Whilst the 'performance' is pleasing to watch, its designed to take our minds off the fact that Bonnie rarely manages more than a few basic steps on the ice.
She hasn't progressed nearly as much as the others - and I think its a disgrace that Jason gives her as much praise - and points - as he does. :yawn:
I'm still waitiing for her to actually dance on ice ! :rolleyes:
Same here.
Of course, there are contestants that I would prefer to see win over others. But I dont feel strongly enough about any of the contestants left to pick up the phone and vote.
On Strictly Come Dancing this is even more obvious as the phone lines are open all week - so you can continually vote for a couplw without seeing them dance! At least with DOI the lines are only open once all couples have peformed.
And then you get the daily shows as well which on the past has always seemed to favour one celeb (On SCD this was Julian Clary, Darren Gough - Dancing on Ice Extra hasn't been on long enough yet to favour one celeb On these shows you will always warm to a pair more than another.
I always find that I vote for a couple who really impress me in the first week or so. After that, I will always support them and can do no wrong in my eyes. In DOI this was John and Olga.
Likewise. Then they said the routine had been toned down because of the judges' advice, and I felt bad about it.
It probably was nerves as well, but even Olga said they'd curtailed their routine intentionally, and I tend to believe her.
So now I don't vote at all. I'm interested enough to hope Gaynor or Stefan wins, but not enough to cast a vote.
Umm, I thought that ITV gets the extra 50p you pay to vote over the usual cost of texts (or phone calls), so even if you're not paying for the actual text you'd still be charged 50p per vote.
Am I wrong?
Credit where Credit's due....
Sometimes I change allegiance but usually once I've decided I like someone that's it.
1) How much I like the pro
2) How well the couple work together, chemestry etc
3) How much I like the celeb
4) If they can dance or not!
Apart from with John I think! Because I love him! lol!
