Um, who were the bottom two?

I take it Jennifer was one of them, and I was worried by the way the judges were making her sound. .... but who's the other one?

Johnson is getting the sympathy vote and will be there in the final
I really don't think so - the public sympathy will run out long before the final.

The public need to realize that these competitions should not be base on popularity

Johnsons supporters vote in sympathy, i don't get it. yes he's VC but cannot skate
But unlike you many voters want Johnson to stay in the competition - so why should the criteria of his supporters be more imponderable than your own when it comes to the vote?

Not just Johnson - but I object strongly to anyone on this forum questioning how I spend my money when voting.

My money - my vote.

i am sorry but this might be a long rant about this but i think that its needs to be said :

WHO is honestly votes for these people, for god sake come on kerry/johnson/jeff/denise really cant skate and if people are just doing it becuase they like them then well sorry but that is not fair on the other talented skaters like Rob/sam/laura and chloe where they are blindingly good skaters and at this stage in the competition they should not be in the bottom two, unless their performance was shockingly bad.

as for the others i mean come on, some of them are still skating as if they were in week one or in the quilifers becuase a lot of the stuff that was shown tonight from kerry/comedy dave was bland and was nothing special, and by going on tonights performance that in a couple of weeks there is the whole skills test and i am sorry but i think that they are gonna either fail it or pass with a very low score.

also though out this episode all of the panel have said that that Rob/sam/chloe and laura are the four top perfomers even the experts, jane and dean have even said to night that they are the favourties and the strongest skaters, now are people deliberately undermining the other skaters or are their movtives just to get them through becuase of their enterainment value beucase this is a ice skating competition and yes i know that entertainment is apart of it but it is not only that as there is a skill of skating involved becuase it does get a bit mundane to see the same behavour week after week like from comedy dave.

I get really annoyed when the judges and presenters chastise the audience for the way they vote, if people want to spend money voting they are entitled to vote for who they want not who the judges think they should vote for.

I don't vote, I wouldn't waste money on contrived shows, serves them right for trying to manipulate the results. I am glad Vanilla Ice stayed, I find him more entertaining than Jennifer, I thought Kerry was the worst, but I am not going to bash people who spend money voting for her, even if it is her agents or people who want to see Dan.

Agreed.

Lot of sympathy voting going on tonight me thinks, what with Kerry's VT and with her kids (sob sob); comedy Dave (is he supposed to be entertaining?) and DEAR GOD! Johnson...every week he is pulling through, why? Because he is a god damn soldier and a 'hero' to us?

Rob for me is the reason I watch every week - being a fan of his for 10 odd years makes me biased but there is no doubt that he is far superior in skating quality then the likes of Kerry, Dave, Jeff, Denise etc...

Why are people voting through such drivel? Makes me mad.

Jennifer by far wasn't one of my favourites, but she didn't deserve to go tonight and both her and Rob did not deserve the skate off. Hope people who wanted Jennifer or Rob through actually take notice now and vote like their lives depended on it next week. We can't have another situation like this again.

I know this will never happen (too much money for ITV)

I think that you should only be able to vote once from any number

I would mitigate the outcome of votes and make it fairer

as in most shows that involve a public vote you will get people vote numerous times

some people must have more money than sense and vote 20 or 30 times?

which i think is hardly fair

but as the votes generate millions it would never happen

in Americas got talent I believe you can only vote 10 times

The viewers have a free vote - it's really not your concern, or that of anyone else, to question their choice.

For the record this week my votes went Vanilla Ice and Johnson. Question my decision if you like - but I'm not asking you to pay my phone bill.

yeah i see what you mean, but unfortuntly people are obv to blinded by that fact and are unable to see the real skating talent that they seem to possess

i also forgot to say that that i agree with Emma52 in that jennifer should not have gone tonight

Clearly she didn't attract fans in sufficient numbers to save her from the bottom 2 so I doubt if her exit will make much of a dent in DOI viewing figures.

I get your point (who hasn't by now? )

But people are getting annoyed that the actual skating has clearly become a peripheral part of the show to many of the voters. It is slightly irritating that so many of the contestants that are poor are there week after week - it's ok when it's just a single John Sargeant or Ann Widdicome but the voters who are voting for other reasons than the skating are a great many this time and are out-numbering the competent skaters.

However, I don't vote so I can't complain!

I too have an opinion and whilst I'm open to debate your views don't lend themselves to discussion - they're more a criticism of those who disagree with you.

Clearly you find it difficult to accept a difference of opinion - but I wouldn't dream of telling you to get off the forums.

I am not a chav, and i enjoy watching KK, Far more than watching JM who thankfully is gone, very wooden and stiff, Johnson, whom i respect for what he has done but not for how he looks on the ice,, JB, he just annoys me, Kerry wont win,but i would like to see her ahead of the above anytime, it is an entertainment show after all

at the end of the day its up to the watching public to vote and people choose to spend their money how they want
I may not agree but accept that they have a reason to vote for someone who's not the best skater because they want to see them remain
as Ice said those are the rules !!!

Actually no, she didn't attract enough votes. Lots of people are fans but don't have the money to waste on TV competition voting.
Sadly, it means the public as a whole has to watch what those who can afford to vote want to watch. Those who have the money are once again more "important".
