I can't believe what happened tonight - Ray in the skate-off?? I voted several times but clearly Hayley and Beth have huge fan bases...why are they more popular than Ray? Please vote for the best!

Not a technical contest, like say the Olympics.
So, with DOI you are going to get votes based on popularity.
Chill out
As for Ray being in the skate off, well did you see his face when he didn't get 4x10s for his flying routine?
I clearly wasn't the only one who noticed how arrogantly cheesed off he was.
Shame the GBP can't see that
That was a real possibility. She had some of Suzanne's ability to do tricks and perform , and age worked for her now - while working against Hayley, Bonnie and Suzanne. We will never know if she could have matched Suzanne or Beth for tricks, or performed well enough to match Hayley and Suzanne, and make the final.
The Jorgie we saw in her first two performances in her series (which she did not win) had the potential to be even better than Claire or Suzanne, but was let down by the choreography afterwards and was sacrificed in this series for a cheap joke.
Her first routine had life in it and was brilliantly performed, it's a shame she didn't get more votes than Joe, Hayley etc
It's "Dancing on Ice" not "Skating on Ice"
I'll be voting for Hayley, and if she is 3rd, I'll vote Beth.
I'll be voting for Beth then.
When he didn't get 4x10s for his flying routine he looked really cheesed off. I'm not the only one who mentioned this on here tonight.
Beth however managed to look gracefully disappointed that she wasn't scored higher (when even Chris came out and said she should have been).
Disappointed you didn't get better or annoyed you didn't get a perfect score, I know which one I prefer.
Only thing that could have been an issue tonight is Hayley could have had more of a sympathy vote this week given the injuries to Dan and she was injured as well that may have had an impact with people voting for them rather than some of the others.
Of course. I would never vote for anyone out of sympathy and no doubt the edits are designed to play up injuries, illnesses and other issues that sway the voting - and that's a shame. Unfortunately this has become more a feature of Talent Shows in recent times.
I suppose that comes down to how different people interpret different emotions.
I saw that emotion as being angry at himself for not being able to do something. They've mentioned all along how he's a perfectionist, and if he felt like he made some stupid mistakes, it's surely natural he'd be upset at himself for not doing better, trying harder, if only he'd done XYZ differently etc etc.
So why do they wear skates?
It's supposed to be dance combined with skating.
Exactly. Dance combined with skating.
Hayley brings more to the ice as a whole package than Ray and Beth. Beth brings more as a whole package than Ray. I'm always left feeling cold.
So, again, as you agree, it's dancing on ice.
Again, I'll be voting Hayley and if she is 3rd, I'll vote Beth.
