People should vote on the skating.

I doubt anyone under 10 knows who Laura is
I've always maintained that shows like DOI and Strictly are about personality as well as talent.
I think the problem here is that the judge's scores counted for nothing tonight. That was a mistake because Laura's superior skating wasn't recognised. She was never going to avoid the skate-off based on popularity alone because very few people know her.
Exactly - judges votes could have counted and the bottom 3 overall done the skate off.
Yeah it's a public vote and more people voted for other people and so they deserve their place but just because she's an unknown doesn't mean she doesn't have a great personality. The new system is to blame because she could have been safe for a few weeks because of the judge's vote which would give people a chance to get to know her. It will be such a shame if she goes. I was really excited when I saw her skate. Trust me to pick an unpopular person.
Angela for me was one of the best "older" skaters yet - look how far the dreadful Aggie and Coleen got in their time - Angela on week one was better than both put together after all their weeks on the show.
Such a shame ITV decided to have so many skaters in this year. It would have been better to have fewer and see more of them improve than to have this cull of 4 skaters in the first two weeks.
I'm only half watching, but I didn't realise that.
Maybe just me, but I wonder if some didn't vote because they thought she was safe.
Yes, panic over!
It was slightly bittersweet for me though because I lost Nadia in the process
Wish it was only one leaving tonight (I could have coped with saying goodbye to Angela, as much as I like and admire her).
I definately don't like the two person elimination, especially since we don't get enough time to get to know anyone. I don't know Nadia that well to be honest (I did think she should have gone for skating reasons
Exactly. For some reason the voting public seems to only want to vote for people they've heard of and already like.
Basically the voting public seems to rate "celebrity" as more important than talent. Very sad really that it seems being talented is less important than being in the papers or on TV a lot.
