ianswaiting...ah yes i forgot (blame the alcohol!) all about Darren Gough ! ok most celebrites dont mention "journey" lol

I do agree with you over chris and i think a lot of that came from his ice hocking experience and he did seem very determined to nail the axel. What people want from a tv show like this varies..some are looking for the very best, others like the skill but entertainment as well and there will always be arguments over which one should out.

However despite he lack of finese (sp?) I was just entertained by him every week so wanted him to win. ALthough i can understand others who thought suzanne should win. Yet i always feel the flying aspect is so much more favoured towards a woman as they can appear so much more graceful etc.

Repeat of last year with Ray then ?

sorry but she really isn't kieron is way better those lifts were great and his individual skate were much better.
daniella had the weakest solo skate by far, shame really but she deserved to go
Hayley to win because she by far the best dancer on ice

It probably is, but Ray Quinn did it better last year than Jessica despite being seasick so it can be done.

exactly as much as theyre good i like a competetion and there isnt one

It's true...it's another repeat of Ray Quinn....an obvious winner. But let's face it...it's been a good series, and I've really enjoyed watching Hayley's performances, I think it's only right if she wins it. She would be absolutely ROBBED if the prize went elsewhere

Wasn't it Jai Ho?

Hayley has it in the bag now

The flying routines ALWAYS favor the female celebs

I've had wine !!!! LOLOL.... do forgive !!!

Didn't do Clare or Jessica much good!

Its been a very poor series IMO

there really hasnt been any competition and the winner has been obvious since week two

the only thing to look for is who will be second and third and thats not really exciting

Yes it does - though Ray confounded that preconception.

Both came second and gave the favorites and eventual winners a run for their money

A female who is already the favorite has no worry against two men doing a flying routine

Men are at a disadvanage because they dont look as graceful on wires

Ray was always going to win although Jess gave us some kind of competition for him

It worked wonders for Suzanne

Might as well turn the lights out in the studio now! DOI over for another year. Boring! Boring! Boring!

God this programme is so tedious now. Will we have to endure it again next year. Unfortunately yes.

Bring back some good drama for Sunday nights please.

True, I was just pointing out that it doesn't always necessarily favour the girls.

Suzanne had won me over long before her flying number - I thought she and Matt had a stronger partnership than Chris and Frankie who never quite clicked.

I still think the final will be close this year. Gary was bottom of the table last week and was still saved by the public - he must have a fair few fans out there, even if their support wasn't quite enough today. We don't really know where Hayley stands in terms of public support as she's always been first or second on the leader board so she hasn't needed as many votes as the rest.

I'm a bit indifferent this series. I'm not overly excited about any of the couples or next weekend's result.

Guess you won't bother watching again.

Yeah you've got it

Maybe you not bother posting either, and save us all the tedium...

Personally I think that Hayley has had the whole thing wrapped up and won since week one. Hayley is far far superior with her skating, dancing and presentation. I think that she would thoroughly deserve to win as she is the only person never to have been in the skate off and she has been absolutely amazing. When she done her slumdog millonaire dance the other week and got all 6s she was absolutely amazing and sent shivers down my spine. She was as good as the professional dancers and skaters and considering she has never skated before and learnt that all in just one week was totally fantastic. Hayley also proved tonight that for anybody that had any doubts about her being able to dance and skate on her own totally blew their theorys out of the water! I have loved Hayley and Daniella from week one but without a doubt Hayley is far superior to Daniella and last week was a one off with Daniella being top of the leader board and at the end of the day she spent most of her time on the chair and not actually skating or dancing! A bit of a farcical really!

As much as I think that Daniella should have been in the final instead of Kieron the public were right not to vote for her after her solo skate was quite poor. She lacked confidence and was definitely the worst of the 4 but she turned that around in the skate off but I think that Gary deserved to go through and that Kieron should have been in the skate off with Daniella and she should have gone through out of those two!

I was really surprised that Kieron went through instead of Gary tonight and at the end of the day I think that Daniella has been much better than Kieron over all the weeks and she really did deserve a place in the final!

Definitely Hayley for the win, no contest!

Hayley is not anywhere near as good as the professional skaters. That people can think she is so good makes me think the show must be doing something wrong.

And her Jai Ho routine had very little skating in it.

I hope Hayley wins. The celebrities as a whole this series have been dire, Hayley's in a whole different league. She's had it in the bag from the get go, but not because the judges or the show have been biased. It is simply because the other skaters were all crap, or average at best.

Unfortunately a large part of casting for this show counts on pure luck, and Hayley's had no real competition this year.

Well said

I agree with every word

I totally agree, both Clare and Jessica were great and I really wanted Clare to win but she was up against Kieron that year and he was the best male skater that they have had but it was definitely a very close run thing and one of the best years alongside the year that Susanne won!

I also think that the female has the advantage with the flying routine and I think that Hayley will only lose if she makes a massive mess up on the night, it is there for her to win though!
