Who on earth is keeping Kelly in the competition?

She is the weakest skater in the contest by far, with a very big chip on her shoulder. She doesn't appear to take criticism from the judges very well(I do agree that Jason was out of order when he said she looked like a man in drag though). Im pretty sure the public keep her in because she is "Dame" Kelly double olympic champion. Like she'd let us forget that,she mentions it every week :rolleyes:
Being good on the race track doesn't equal being good on the ice rink. The public need to learn that. She should have gone this evening.

The host should NOT ask his opinion, even if he gives her a 1.0, and she will be history. Maybe he should just compliment her track accomplishments (get that out of the way) and say nothing else. Comparing her to a terrier is just rude (especially since my maltese skates better than Kelly).
And hey Kelly you won the medals 18 months ago what have you done since? Thats what i'd say.
She is tentative, stiff, ungainly and dull to watch and is in my view the worst of them all.
Totally agree with this and everything else that people have said here. I'm a big John fan and fully admit I am gutted and annoyed that he went out last night.
I would really like to know why people vote for Kelly, if anyone is reading this and did vote for her please explain. As far as I see it the only possible reason why Kelly got through this week is sympathy votes.
Jason was right, he does have 18 years in business and he does know more about cerography etc than her. Granted he is harsh in what he says to her but his reasons are correct. That pointless argument that ended with her mentioning her gold medals (OMG do we have to be reminded each week) only showed what a massive chip she has on her shoulder about that. Don't even get me started on the knee jerk, politically motivated populist government reaction in making her a Dame!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
Kelly just isn't cut out for skating.
For some reason I cannot help thinking that Kelly, as much as she might have a big gob on the telly, is actually very aware that all she can do is run, OK she can run fast, but that is it. Whenever she speaks at an award ceremony, or gives and interview, it just doesn't flow very well. I bet she is dying to do TV presenting, but she is crap in front of the camera. And then she decides to do DOI, since no one else seems to have given her a proper job since winning some medals... hence the already mentioned chip on her shoulder, the inability to accept she is actually crap at a lot of things bar running.
I totally agree with you and the choreographer guy's comments. The trouble is that a awful lot of people find his comments too personal, and start texting to keep her in the minute he finishes his critic. So in order to get rid of the awfull Kelly he should keep his mouth shut.
Edit - just seen this story http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds28823.html
Says it all really.
I noticed last night Kelly said something along the lines of "I want to do something Bonnie can't do" :rolleyes: She can't compete with Bonnie at all, she isn't good enough.
Make your minds up people - love her for being the hero of our Olymics - And all the personality traits that goes with it. OR have a go at her for being compettitive - you cant have it BOTH ways
I'm not bothered about her competativeness!! It's her lack of skill that makes me not like her!
Not like her in the competition. I love her for winning 2 golds, and I'm sure she's lovely, but I love John more and he was miles better than Kelly on Sat.
Ok Kelly isn't the best skater there and prob should have been in the bottom 2 there with Stephan. It is not the people who have issues with her ability I think are wrong its the people who are having a go at her attitude.
Don't mind me, I'm still mourning for The Barrowman
Yes she is very competitve, she wouldn't have suceeded in Athletics had she not had a fierce winning streak but is that really a good enough reason to keep her in the competition? No. She is only margianlly better than Andi was, and should have gone before now. Andrea was better than her.
Being an Olympic champion doesn't excuse arrogance.
That ability hasn't transfered over into ice dancing. She's just not very good.Success is a combination of ability and drive. If you don't have the ability then surely you're just deluding yourself?
She reminds me of the budding singers who can't actually sing on the Pop Idol auditions. Just because you tell yourself you can do something, doesn't mean you can.
Then again, maybe she'll improve. We can hope...
Quite! It drives me mad that she shows no respect for Todd. He is a 3 time world medallist in pairs which, as a non russian, is a pretty amazing achievement. It seems as though her 2 gold medals make it okay for her to argue with him when clearly he knows what he's talking about.
Mind you on the other hand it IS a competition so competitiveness is normal -its the way she speaks to her partner that annoys me -as if she can tell a pro ice skater he is doing the routine wrong!?!
I am not keen on watching her skate, but give her credit for trying and improving but cannot stand her arrogance and churlishness towards Todd. DOI is doing her no favours personally, regardless of how many goldmedals she has won, which Ims ure everyone admires her for.
