Why does Maria never get crap partners?
I find it odd how the past 4 years Maria has had good partners who have all reached the final stages of the show.

Then because he lives near Emmerdale he gets to skate with Emmerdale stars cause it's handy because they live close together. As for Maria it's clear she's the producers favourite god knows why. I wish other girls like Susie would get good partners instead of Maria. |

In series 1 there was nobody from Emmerdale so Dan was partnered with her by chance.

Why does Fred always get the less able skaters? (Bar Zarah but, that was only out of chance because of Michael going out).

Melinda was good enough but the judges were very shoddy towards her

Who knows which celebrity will be good or bad before they start? Could it be that maria is just very good with teaching methods? They all start from a level playing field.

Gary is the worst partner she's had!

I for one expected Emily to be one of the front runners and Mikey to be atrocious when the line up was first announced. How wrong can you be ? Sometimes the ones you expect to improve week on week and challenge for the top can stagnate and the others suddenly get it an improve week on week. I actually really like Maria she is obviously very nice and friendly as well as supportive to her partners. I'd much rather see her week on week than someone like Frankie who I find bolshie and unappealing - she looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp most of the time. I agree that it would be lovely to see Fred get a partner of the quality of Suzanne Shaw or Claire Buckfield though

Maria also won DOI in Australia as well. It must be frustrating for the pros like Susie who continually get the lame ducks when Maria always gets a good one. Have to say i was very surprised she got a promising celeb this year - I though they would give her a duffer to ensure she skated with Ray on the tour.
If Gary ends up doing the tour I can see the Ray fans being unhappy. |

It isnt very fair at all to be honest. If I was one of the pro's who got rubbish partners every year, i'd be really annoyed.
And also, whilst its right to claim that you never know what your going to get beforehand, lets face it, Maria's partners have never looked bad before the series started. Before we had even set foot on the ice, did anyone really think that any of them would be the dud? |

Totally agree about Maria - she always ends up with the reasonably young, fit and attractive fellas who are able to respond to a bit of coaching even if they didn't start out fabulous (Gareth Gates wasn't brilliant at the beginning, and neither was Duncan James, really). She also comes across as lovely so I bet she wouldn't even mind having a duffer! Ray could skate with anyone and make it look good though, so I wouldn't have thought breaking up that partnership would be a problem. |

I agree about Maria too, though I do like Gary.
Hope Fred gets someone brilliant next year. I've gone off Frankie and was hoping her and Danny would go last night. |

How do you know that Duncan and Gareth wouldn't have been duffers if they'd had different partners? Might it not have been Maria who made them as good as they were? Being young and fit is no guarantee of becoming a good skater (see Emily) nor is being older a guarantee of being a poor one (see Donal).
