but the poster is not constantly knocking Gary. Surely one little criticism is acceptable? Unlike the criticism of Hayley which was constant and from the same posters over and over again.:yawn:

You all should be leading by example then. Where you lead, we shall follow.

Actually, this poster has criticised Gary constantly. What do you have to say to that?

Probably just some more hypocritical rambles.

I'll continue not liking Hayley and gaz can continue criticising Gary and you can continue being nasty about Daniella but don't expect me, or anyone else, to stop when you guys are just as bad, if not worse, considering you act so innocent.

I have criticised Daniella maybe 2/3 times when I have genuinely disliked her performance. I don't hound her and well you know it, unlike Hayley detractors.

I'm not saying that Gary shouldn't be criticised. I'm saying that if you're going to /constantly/ post about how skaters should be judged on their ability alone, then people are going to find it amusing when that person criticises another contestant for something that isn't skating related.

And I've never met a single person who voted for a contestant because of one of their relatives or friends. That belittles their achievements. It's a long running annoyance for me. It started because I was really annoyed when people said Suzanne won because her little boy was being shown in the final. Suzanne won because she was brilliant that night, I gave her a vote because she was outstanding despite the fact Chris Fountain was my favourite.

Gary gets criticised for his personality, his performance and yet he's still there. People like his skating enough to keep him in. And if he wants to share the experience with his little girl, good on him.

So what? Tough luck on Hayley then, there are more things about her to dislike. Simple as that.

Thanks goodness that is just your opinion.

Personally i couldn't care less who they show, whether it is someones's granny or child, I just thought it was funny that you pulled the poster up for just one negative post. It was as if you were waiting to pounce It wasn't a personal remark in 'he has a big nose' or 'he has a cheesy, stage-school smile'.
I also liked Suzanne and was pleased she won, she was the best overall performer but I didn't vote for her or anyone else I might just put a few Hayley's way if she gets to the final though, I believe she really deserves to win.
I like Gary too and hope he finishes 2nd, at the moment anyway.

What do you expect from someone who is a fox?

Seriously though I was just having a joke. I'm somewhat of a tease.

I don't vote until the final and then I vote for my favourite and for the best performance. Two votes only. My poor phone bill can't take more then that.

Stupid man anyway. Doesn't he realise he should only propose to his girlfriend if he really wants to be with her for the rest of his life. Anyways although he has the advantage of being tall and reasonably attractive I haven't seen any kind of spark from him.

Actually....you are COMPLETELY wrong...!!!!!!

Please PLEASE give me some quotes on what I've said bad about Gary 'constantly' and if you want them...I shall find you HUNDREDS of quotes of me being kind and complimentary towards him.

You seem to be looking for any little way to make your point clear, and making up rubbish that I 'criticize' Gary constantly is just childish and not true !!!!!!!!

I just look at it from the performance view and he is not that good. At the moment their is no one to seriously challenge Hayley.

If he loved her he wouldn't parade her on TV every week (including the biogs before the skate) just to get votes.

He doesn't parade her on TV every week, she's been on 1 piece before he skates and the rest is her in the audience like every other skaters supporters have been shown.

Oh for crying out loud. These people are on national tv to up their profile and whether they are negative or positive, the comments alone prove it is working.

Indeed ITV invite negative comments by rewarding the meanest panelist with a pay rise. If you think we should be led by example, then moan at the production team instead of getting over sensitive about any small critical remark on an entertainment forum.

I find it quite funny when these sort of things come from the 'supposedly unnassailable' Hayley's supporters.

I am not surprised Gary's daughter loves the show and as a good dad I'd be surprised if he wasn't doing it partly for her and of course any kid will be devastated when their parent goes out of a show like this - doesn't seem an odd thing to say at all. All the families/supporters get shown on TV.

Next we'll have a Hayley supporter telling us how unfair it is that Hayley doesn't have a child to show on the VT. All we get instead is Hayley and Dan fawning over each other - sorry that shoudl be Hayley fawning over Dan I think and yes I am finding that increasingly offputting.

I hope Gary is out tonight. I find his routines painfully boring.

Here you are again icedragon, you just can't resist it, you are even having a go at Hayley's supporters now:yawn:
I suppose you don't like people who show affection?

And Garys daughter gets shown loads more than the other kids

Danniella said her daughter was crying in the audience when she in the skate off. Funny we never saw that isnt it. Im sure if Garys daugter was upset we would certainly see it

Gary is such a wooden plank, I hope he is out. I can't stand the way he pimps his family to try and win fans and votes.

I agree....he doesn't do it for me at all.

He always has this annoying...thing about him..that just makes me think he'd rather be anywhere else but here, and a sort of "i look like a tool' aspect about his performances.

Precisely. He looks bored. I just cant understand anyone wanting to see him on the tour.

I'm actually very surprised he signed up for the tour. Either financial reasons, or maybe he enjoys it much more than he appears to. Either way...just doesn't slice my bread

Yeah, he tries to look like he's above everything, which ends up making him look like more of a prat because he's not committing. The other contestants fully embrace the silliness of the show and because of that they don't look like an awkward teenager dancing at a wedding. On ice, of course.

Oh Gee sorry - am I not allowed to post on this forum now. I happen to like Gary and think I am quite entitled to post something in his defence when the Hayley supporters are having a go at him.

Perhaps you missed the smiley too . Maybe Hayley supporters are incapable of having a laugh.....

And gee here you are again putting words and thoughts into other people mouths that never even occurred to them.
