Jason is losing what little credibility he may have had with his remarks throughout the week.

He can offer constructive criticism and he can make salient points about performances (although I don't see the need to camouflage quite so many in relatively obscure similes). However, he now seems to be displaying his bias so obviously that something should really be said. Both Sharron last week and Emily this were victims of this; I definitely feel he'd pre-judged them and both mark and comments were decided before watching the routine (if he actually did properly watch the routine). Saying that someone should go before they've actually performed is wrong when you're responsible for judging them - how can anyone have any confidence in your objectivity once you've done that?

I agree. I thought Phil's comment, at the beginning of last night's show, about how "Sharron's rebellion did not work as she was voted out of the show" rather unnecessary to bring up the whole thing AGAIN. I thought Emily was very brave to do her "look no hands" lift. I think everyone involved in last week's show Phil, Jayne, Chris and the production team were unnecessarily unkind to Sharron and it was all to generate viewers figures. I just thought they all had enormous egos!!! It was not pleasant to watch the icy atmosphere last week. Mike crashing down onto the ice, Kieron's split lip etc just showed the viewers how danagerous the show can be. I thought the whole VT on Hayley ridiculous!! Drama, she was frightened of twisting around on her skate!!! Good grief, after some of the lifts she has done with Daniel. They must have been DESPERATE to generate a bit of suspense.
Ugh yes... when I heard that at the beginning of the show I wanted to scream "she didn't rebel you bloody fool!" Talk about milking a story. I've been a bit cheesed of with the way things have gone the past couple of shows, with the icy atmosphere last week and the sensationalist "OMG DANGER!!1!" atmosphere this week. I wish the production team would just keep their beak out and let events play out as they normally would... ok fair enough a program will always be 'jazzed up' a bit to keep the format from stagnating but for goodness sake, wind yer neck in o powers that be!

Exactly! I agree 100%. You cannot decide before the show, who should or should not go. Otherwise, people trying to improve their performance (like Danny) would be utterly useless. And going by his marks and remarks for Emily, he had definitely not watched her performance.

I don't think the current format helps the programme in terms of stagnation, if anything it contributes to it (I mean with Chris and Suzanne you could see the tension and the excitement, this year it's superficial).

True, true. I'm half-surprised they've not tried to spin some kind of jealous rivalry between Daniella and Hayley to add some kind of (fake) tension storyline. Still, there's time yet I suppose!

Don't give them any ideas, I'm sure some of these spin doctors are lurking here.

Or sell the idea to ITV, and when they have taken it up, you could blackmail them to initiate the return of a certain person (I told you I'm evil).

(I told you I'm evil).
I'm seriously starting to wonder if you live in a hollowed-out volcano or some other such lair

I don't think Keiron's burst lip was as bad as Mikey's fall. A lip doesn't disable any part of your body needed for skating.
Were any parts of Mikey's body that were needed for skating disabled?

Have to agree with the OP.
The fake "drama" of these type of shows really is the most boring bit, no matter what the producers seem to think.

Notes to the producers:-
Tell us in a straightforward way about any injuries, falls, problems just once and then let it go.
Don't fake any romances.
Don't fake any rivalries.
Don't leak false will they/won't they skate this week stories.
Don't put an ad break immediately before revealing who is in the skate off - seriously, it does not add any tension, it's just boring!

and whilst you're at it.....bin the judges scripts and let them say what they really think without worrying about what their role on the panel is.

Think you've pretty much got it in a nutshell there!
