Gary is a better skater though.

I would say there around the same standard but Gary might be slightly better.

I am no fan of Gary but seriously there is no contest here. Gary is a much better skater, although he can't perform or sell a routine for toffee.

Also, Coleen is annoying as hell. I have nothing against Gary personally, seems a nice enough guy. He is just boring to watch on the ice.

Are you serious?

On a relative scale of 1-6 (relative only to Gary and Coleen), Coleen is a 1 and Gary is a 6.

I don't really like Gary, but he's a decent skater and at least tries to get the routines across. In direct competition he would DEMOLISH her. She had no personality, no performance skill, and couldn't skate at all.

This is the most ridiculous post I've seen this series.

Gary is a million gazillion times better. Heck, Gary is better than Daniella and Kieron too.

KatieL, you've made it obvious you hate him but I didn't realise it was this blind! It's only a TV show.

Not technically true Danniella has been above him every week except 2 (Week 6 and 9)

Danniella's highest = 27.5
Kieron's highest= 23.0
Gary's highest = 22.5

According to Wiki

Gary's total is much higher than Kieron and only a few points lower than Daniella. There is nothing in it. Certainly not Colleen level. Your post is just... weird, to be honest.

I said in my OP that Gary is better than Coleen. Gary just hasn't done anything to wow me yet and his solo skate didn't look that great tbh on the Friday Show and I think he's been very overmarked IMO espically the films week one where he messed up the required element and danced awfully yet Nicky gave a 5.

But it is a bizarre comparison. Extremely random and silly.

Gary's overall is 180.5

Colleen's at this stage was 145. Interestingly, extremely close to Kieron's overall total.

Sorry, but whether you think he's overmarked or not is subjective and still doesn't warrent a comparison with one of the worst skaters ever.

This is such a tricky one to answer.

I think in the end, Colleen just edges it, because she really is the complete package, while Gary is lacking in his ability to perform with a feather boa. Colleen is probably the best all-round ice dancer the show has ever seen, imho.

She was cruely robbed by that Ray last year.

Gary is very close behind Colleen though, that's for sure. They're quite similar in many respects.

To steal a line form one of my favourite tennis players:
"You cannot be serious!"

Colleen had absolutely no skating skills even by her last week of the show, she moaned, she whinged, the only personality she had was that of a narcissistic, wholly unappealing, fake martyr.

Urrgghhh she still makes me shudder.

Gary by comparison has gorgeous skating, and in this he comes across as unassuming and self deprecating. His performances don't seem to have a particular wow factor but most of them have been pretty good.

Every one of Colleen's was awful!

There is no comparison.......Gary may not be a sparkling personality but he can skate pretty well so no comparison to Coleen at all.

I'm no fan of Gary, In fact I find him really dull but he is a much better skater than Coleen. I still can't believe she made it to the semi finals.

Gary = can skate
Coleen = can't skate

Gary = dull, but nice personality
Coleen = very irritating personality

I think Gary wins, don't you?

There is no comparison! Gary may not be the best performer we've ever seen but he CAN skate! Coleen couldn't skate at all!

Agree with this apart from the first bit in bold, don't think he is dull so he wins hands down anyway. And I added a few bits to Coleens summary.

this surely is not a serious questions ???
I'm also debating if this thread is a joke.

Dear oh dear. Getting a little desperate in the bashing stakes. We know you don't like him - :yawn:

As to Coleen's personality on the ice - you are kidding.

This is akin to comparing Belgian chocolate with Brussels sprouts for me.

No they aren't. Gary's required elements are light years ahead of Coleen's - at least he attempts them.

Coleen brought personality to the ice where as Gary didn't.

I'd dispute that. Coleen has a lot of spark off the ice (even if, at times, you might wish that same spark would cause her to spontaneously combust ) but the only personality she brought onto the ice was that of a rabbit caught in the headlights.

Gary is a better skater though.

By several parsecs.

I would say there around the same standard but Gary might be slightly better.

I'd say I quite fancy some of whatever you're sniffing.
I'm still in two minds as to whether this thread is a wind up but I'm feeling indulgent...
