I thought I was the only one who noticed that - though in fairness I'm always reluctant to criticise the routine - that is down to T&D and I'm confident that Daniella is more than capable of skating solo.
What I don't like here is the "all past mistakes forgot, you are just judged on this performance" bullshine. Well if that was the case then Mikey skated better there than Daniella. Maybe not overall, but better there.
My favourite Mikey routine was the cowboy one, skating to Johnny Cash. Though I'm glad Danniella's staying, I'm still sorry to see Mikey go, he's such a nice person.

But I think the judges have got it right and I'm glad Danniella is staying.”
I really can`t understand why they put her lay back spin in

*cough* and should have done tonight.... I find Mikey more entertaining than I've found Daniella after the first 2 weeks.
If they`d given anyone else that routine it wouldn`t have been anywhere near as good and I believe whichever routine Hayley was given she`d still come out on top. ”
I agree. I could've seen her and Dan doing excellent routines to either You Never Can Tell or Summer Nights. And as for those people moaning that the routine was tailored to Hayley's strengths, surely that's what they do for everyone? What's more, neither she nor Dan had done any Bhangra before, so they both had a tall order this week, but they applied themselves and triumphed.
