No way did Kyran deserve to go tonight! Beth's routines are so dull every week, how the hell has she never been in a skate off? What do the public see in her?

I agree - I think she gets the votes because she is an "Olympian". She should have gone by now. Kyran and Sam both had fantastic skate offs tonight - they should both still be there.
I voted for her tonight because she I thought she deserved more than that. (And partially as a retaliation against the overmarking of Hayley)
The public are voting for her.
You try skating with the flu!!
At least Beth can skate and skate well!
Yes, Beth is one of my favourites but she was disappointing tonight, Kyran and Sam were better than her but it's the votes that count:D
Exactly! Melody, she is still in because she is a great skater who is given no credit for her skills by the judges! The public can see straight through that, personally I thought Kyran's skate off was better than Sam's
She didn't have the flu, she said herself that she had a virus. There is a big difference, if she had flu she wouldn't be able to stand up, never mind skate.
Hayley might as well stand off the ice and pull those faces - not like there's any difference than when she's stood on it, anyway.
Personally, I think Kyran should have gone weeks ago and I don't know what anyone sees in him. I think he is so dull every week.
However us viewers are not fooled by them and that is why we vote.
WHATEVER she had she was very poorly and I would love to see the people moaning about her go out and skate when they are that poorly!!
I hope it doesn't carry all the way through to the result though. She's better than Hayley but not as good as Ray or Sam imo.
I like Beth but I was just making a point that she didn't have flu.
Because she's amazing and always undermarked
Maybe so but the 3 men were better than her tonight and they are better skaters than Beth.
That's fine - I thought she said flu but I must of been hearing things
The public are obviously voting for her because they are liking watching her and I hope she goes on to the final and wins (although that might be a bit much to ask)
Perhaps they were tonight but the public don't have to judge it just on tonight. Over the course of history I would say that Beth is a better skater than Kyran (definitely) and Sam (probably)....but then I would have said that Suzanne was better than all three of them and she was the first ex champion out
As I think Beth has been better overall, I would have no problem voting for her (and did so) although she isn't my favourite - that has to be Ray as any other result would be a travesty.
Exactly!
I disagree. Kyran's first (couple) routine was dull. I had to force myself to pay attention to it and Sam's just a cheap version of Ray.
Beth brings something different to the table with her lifts and tricks, and overall, thoughout the series, she's been a much stronger skater than Kyran and Sam.
Her solo wasn't good because they gave her a routine she had to "perform" - her weakest skill. Should've given her a piece of music that could show off her skating; everyone else got a solo skate that suits them.
Sam is back in the race - even if his musical fans are being deserted. He may have been part time and ill served with routines for too long though to gain any momentum. He's suffers too in comparison to Ray, and Kyran I think had more wow factor.
Beth is a much better combination of skating basics, tricks, and lifts than Hayley. Her acting and dancing is Ok in the right role. Her pair can do more than Sam's or Ray's in some areas. Give her Hayley's numbers, though, and she will look weaker. Give Beth one that follows her strengths, and Hayley looks weak.
The better combinations were Suzanne and Jorgie who can do everything Hayley does, and more tricks. They have been edged out though.
Kyran I thought served the useful purpose of being the opposite to Ray. Ray dances and performs far better, but Kyran indicated tonight just how much Ray can't do . There's no moves like the axel, no headbanger, no single handed overhead lifts -in Ray's repertoire. He can spin - but so can Hayley and Sam - and he can jump - but we have seen that too much already.
It then depends on want you want. Beth can do more exciting moves than Ray, but dances and acts less well. Ray has a wide repertoire, but there's room to do something more impressive. Beth has the only journey story, has learnt new skills and is putting up new moves - Ray isn't doing that so obviously. 40s and jumps may look samish by the final. One will appeal to a female vote, the other may have a host of inspired young female gymnasts behind her. And, as you say, coronations may not be popular.
