Come in and get it off your chest

My own feelings are that they don't want Ray running away with it this year - they want some sort of 'contest'. Ray would more than likely come out on top, doing Bolero every night - we've already heard it's the best one - so he's being held down in third place so Chris and Hayley can fight it out.

I also feel Claire is being held back

I feel upset for Ray as he's doing his best to improve, changing his routine round, adding to it, yet the scores aren't reflecting that

And I've just read Chris made a mistake this afternoon and Nicky still gave him a 6.0

I agree with this completely!

It's unfair considering that he's last years champion and he's being held in third place this tour. Yes Hayley is good, but she's not that good. Ray has proved that his bolero is strong, everytime he's performed it he's won, that's got to show for something, then you've got Hayley. She's performed it everynight, yet she doesn't win every night. Tells you something doesn't it?

I think it's audience support that Ray needs tbh, Chris has always been popular, even when he was series runner up he went on tour and won, proving something. Then there's Hayley, series champion, so she's fresh in everyone's mind. It'll be interesting next year tbh, we'll get to see what she's like after a year out.

It's Clare I feel sorry for tbh, she's a fantastic skater, we've all seen what she can do, but IMO she's being kept in 4th position to keep the pressure of Hayley, as I think if her routines were stronger she'd be a definate contender for bolero against Hayley again.
