His judging seems so biased towards certain people and so inconsistent, I used to hate Jason but I think he is the only one at the moment seeing it as it really is.
Jason said that at week 9 it is essential that the required elements get done correctly, two weeks running Daniella has been very very poor onthe required element yet she still managed to get voted through over Mikey who was perfect on the required element.
Now for Cousin's comment "1 spin does not a performance make" well what performance did daniella give ? What did she do on her own ? It is all about her partner picking her up and doing fancy lifts and spins, that his him performing not her.
As Cousin's should know as a so called olympic judge, if you missed your required elements completely your scores would be dire irrespective of the "performance"
I would have preferred Mikey to go through as he is not afraid to try anything unlike Daniella and he is more likeable as the voting has reflected.
I think cousins should have stayed off the show completely he is bland , boring , inconsistent and stubborn in his judging.

I never watch the skate off - I can't bear all that tension - so I can't say. But maybe Robin thought that, of the two, she had more potential. Or that Mikey couldn't put the hours in with all his other commitments.
I don't know whether he's a judge or not - he was an olympic medal winner and professional skater, so he knows what he's looking for and talking about.
(Seeing the programme components as artistic impression is a bit questionable, though.)
OK, then call it 'the do it if you want to' element. Surely by having a required element it gives the judges an opportunity to see how they are all progressing. If they can't or don't do the required element then they should be marked down. Robin is wrong imo.
But Daniella did do the element in the dance off so basically the required element was done by both of thej Robin preferred Daniella's peformance I can't see the problem
And not just Robibn that can be singled out Gary did not perform his required element yet Nicky gave it 5 - and Hayley did not do her spin in sync doing one more than Dan and still got a 6 off all of them
But Hayley's spin wasn't the requred element which was what I was referring to.
Hayley did that.
She did and so much more, my argument is against those that didn't do it.:)
Ok, sorry.
No poblem, we are on the same side:D
I think the other poster is referring to RJS, which you probably know had separate technical and artistic marks. Even with IJS however, PCS is weighted towards still being an artistic mark with 3/5 of the components being artistic.
In my opinion, Robin was right. Although Mikey's element was better, Daniella's was still good and she managed to pull it off but with both performing their spins albeit one better than the other, you can't just base a whole 90 second performance on that. If Daniella hadn't had tried, done it or had fell over, then Robin would be wrong.
