I think he was making a point! Good on him. I really think the panel could do without Ruthie and just have the 3 skating judges along with Jason for the dancing elements.
I thought it was really bizarre too. He looked as if he was in another world !!
What is up ???
Nicky did the ice dancing with Karen. I don't think she's biased with her remarks especially as she coaches all the dancers, I think she just prefers to talk up their good points.
Why is the fact that Karen and Nicky were pro partners never mentioned on the show
Even in the 'achievements and merits' bit of the intro - nothing!
The only judge I don't like is Ruthie. Why is she there? We have a judge who is voting on entertainment value and one of him is definitely enough.
Having Nicky and Karen as skating technique judges and Robin as overall judge is more than enough.
nicky was ignored for the first 3 performers this week, all the other spoke some 2/3 times!
KAREN: Todd, Graeme, Michael, TOTAL 3
NICKY: Jeremy, Todd, Ray, TOTAL 3
JASON: Donal, Todd, Ray, Michael, TOTAL 4
RUTHIE: Jeremy, Ellery, Graeme, TOTAL 3
ROBIN: Donal, Ellery, TOTAL 2
WEEK 2:
KAREN: Roxanne, Coleen, TOTAL 2
NICKY: Zoe, Jessica, TOTAL 2
JASON: Roxanne, Melinda, Zoe, Jessica, TOTAL 4
RUTHIE: Melinda, Gemma, TOTAL 2
ROBIN: Roxanne, Coleen, Gemma, TOTAL 3
I wish they would stop speaking to him.
Personally, I'd rather Robin as Head Judge were the one being asked to speak every time. He's an incredible skater and choreographer and usually says the same thing as Jason (who, I must admit, is usually accurate in his comments, even if he is appalling in the way he expresses himself) but more constructively. Of the other skaters on the judges' panel, Karen's too involved with the contestants and Nicky's just too erratic.
I have to admit I am rather biased about Robin. I watched him (on tv) win his titles and saw him on the victory tour bus ride around Bristol, but he is still someone of superior knowledge on the sport.
Jason could learn a lot from him.
Nickey probably rarely gets to speak because he seems half asleep most the time. I remember seeing an article Jason did with a newspaper and in it he was talking negatively about everyone and one of the things that sticks in my mind was that he said Nickey gets easily flustered, like the time he somehow scored someone a 6 instead of 3.5 or something. I can see what he means when I watched the show on Sunday- he seemed to be in a world of his own and got flustered when he realised Holly was talking to him.
Because their skating partnership didn't end well and even now they're visibly still not entirely comfortable around each other. It's probably regarded as somewhat tactless to mention their partnership or perhaps one (or both) of them doesn't want it mentioned.
I still think we should hear mostly from Robin, though
