I agree!

It's not bookies, it's people betting who know the votes. It happens when the lines open. It's brazen and plain as day, they were also positive Tana would be bottom two and Sharon wouldn't, even though she has been twice before.

And really on that basis we should exclude Gary too, that's what I mean, two of the "big five" have been bottom two already. Something's going wrong.
If Danniella ends up there too we're down to Hayley versus Mikey.

On the bright side at least it isn't like X Factor where they'd have probably sent Gary and Danny home by now

So are you saying that people with insider info i.e. people working on the show who know the votes are betting on results. That's illegal isn't it?

No. Ridiculous isn't it. They're not supposed to do it of course, but they do. All the time. Don't know exactly who it is, could be people from the voting company, possibly even BT, but yeah, it happens.

Oh, and someone just bet on Dr Hilary to win at 24/1...lol

Everything I own he's in the top three vote getters.

Although there is nobody this year who is even close to being in the same class as Ray Quinn, it seems to me the result is still pretty obvious. It looks like being between Mikey and Hayley and, since Mikey doesn't have the insane grin that so many people find irritating, he will win.

Well pretty much, yeah.
It doesn't need to be that obvious at this stage though, it's a balls up.

(though I've started to quite like Hayley, but I know what you mean)

I like Mikey, Daniella, Hayley and Gary because they have somewhere to progress to. Ray, though a brilliant skater, was alway great so I lost interest.

There is still 8 weeks to go so plenty of time for things to change.

I don't get this at all - she does skate solo and does it very well.

Apart from Sinitta, I think the ditching decisions so far haven't hurt the competition - but unless Emily and Dr Hils are cut loose pretty quickly, then another Coleen-style scenario is going to develop.

I think there's plenty of competition for the best, and plenty of potential among the also-rans. Mikey, Daniella and Hayley are in the lead at the moment, but Danny, Gary and even Kieron will be snapping at their heels as they continue to learn and develop. And Sharron could yet stun us all - she's improved so much in the three routines she's done that by the end of the show she could be a taller version of Suzanne Shaw.

So no need for despair just yet - and think how exciting the skate-offs will be once it starts getting close!

I agree, they are obviously not watching the programme to make a comment like this or maybe it's because she is better than their favourite?

Its a pity sinitta went so quick.. I think she would have been looking good now..

I'd rather a close competition of average skaters trying to improve than a runaway winner with prior experience.

If you want to watch really good skating, what's stopping you from watching professionals?
