It probably will not be an exciting final as Hayley is so far ahead of the others. Gary & Kieron will be turning in performances you would expect in week 3 not in the final.
At least Kieron is pushing himself even if he does not quite pull off the perfomance. Gary is Mr play it safe. The same simple basic routine week in week out. I can see exactly where Jason is coming from even though he does go a bit OTT with his comments”
I don't agree at all - the fact that Gary makes his skating look smooth and easy doesn't mean that what he is doing is easy, the changes of edge and speed he gets across the ice are very good.
Kerion on the other hand has shown exceptional performance skills but still isn't as good with the skating as Gary.
For me they are quite evenly matched because their strengths are different.
I can appreciate that Hayley presents her skating exceptionally well ... but I am more excited by Kieron and Gary.
