Damned, and I always put mine (my brain) in my little waterglass until the show is over. Sometimes I forget to put it in before I post on here as well.

I agree on the perspective thing, this year it has definitely helped me not to have a favourite, although I admit that I have been passionate about previous contestants as well (although never to a degree that I couldn't see the merit of others - I supported Donal, but liked Ray and Jess as well). Not having a favourite makes it easier to watch though, although I was mightely disappointed when Danny and Kieron were in the skate off after their respective routines. However, I think it's a compliment to this year's contestants that I really don't want any of them to go.
You just made me laugh out loud...thank you, I was having a bit of a rubbish day up to now!

Not that your posts usually show signs of it, but to be fair, I'm not sure you'd be alone if you did let your brain have a little rest whilst posting

Hayley has been my favourite since her first performance - but I've also liked Kieron, Danny and Gary.

Last night I found Danny's original routine by far the most entertaining polished and I'd have given him top spot. I'd have put Hayley and Kieron joint second. I think Hayley's routine lacked the wow factor in comparison to last week, the choreography was bland and she did lack a little sparkle - but we saw plenty of solo skating - and it was good. I think Kieron drew the short straw with the props, though I think the choreography he was handed did him few favours. Gary skated skated well but delivered little in the way performance. Daniella was the opposite - good performance but barely left the chair or Matt's arms to perform any solo skating; imo her top spot was a joke.

Skate Off: Should have been Daniella and Gary, and based on their earlier performances, Daniella to go. As it was two of the best on the night found themselves battling to stay in - and sadly Danny failed to reproduce his earlier performance.

It was interesting that Danny gave Daniella his endorsement to win - I recall Sharron and Pavel did too. She seems a popular and thoroughly nice young woman.

Regarding the endorsements to win, do they all train together? I know Hayley trains elsewhere.

All of them train in London with Karen, except for Hayley and Kieron who train in Bradford with her husband.

Which may explain why there does seem to be a little bit of a divide sometimes, at least between some of the contestants.

I think Hayley said at some point that she was moving to London from now on in though. Not sure if Kieron is doing the same.

Thanks, that may explain why they pick Daniella to win because they are more friendly with her than with Kieron and Hayley?

I wonder if fans of celebs who have left are influenced who to vote for based on who their favourite says they would like to win?

Well I'm pleased I made you laugh (living up to my user name), hope things are improving for you now.

I give my brain quite often a rest when I'm posting, just look at my last post in the Daniella overmarked thread.

Nope. Danny was my current favourite and now he's gone my once a week vote will go to Kieron.

I don't think so - not much anyway. I think most people have second favourites themselves who they'll turn to.

Yeah, take Mikey for example. Asked people to support Danny on Twitter. Danny is now out.

People support who they like, that's it.

I agree with all of this. I also agree that Danniella that has come across as a lovely person.

LOL You should get a job with the Job Centre, bornfree...
I know I am a big softy. I found something really vulnerable about Danny. He just reminded me of my little brother.
