Surely Chico will beat her next week when they have to skate 23 different elements... many of which Jennifer hasn't done competently yet.. and if she has, they have been at one mph! Her acting, head cut and fan base is getting her through more than her skill...
In your opinion mine is that she has been improving week to week which has also been reflected by the fact her scores have been improving as has her skating and no its not her fault she didn't get to skate as much this week. Take that arguement up with T&D.

Chico obviously isn't as popular with the public otherwise he wouldn't be in the skate off would he. If the public vote saves Jennifer then she can easily beat him if she isn't in the skate off. Even if she is depending on the performance she could still beat him if a flawless performance is given and he makes mistakes.

Also as far as I read into it there is still a routine as well so its not just on the elements and for all you know any of the other three could do a Sebastien and forget what they are doing or make a mistake. If Jennifer performs cleanly then she could overtake any of them. You should never make assumptions of a show like DOI.

I ask again what on earth has Jennifer done to cause you such hatred? as I have read in your posts you claim she only acts humble and is acting Have you met her? I think she is coming across the way she is in real life I don't think its an act. If anything she seems one of the most genuine of the bunch and certainly is always grateful for getting through and has never assumed its a sure thing which IMO it looks like some of the others do when in the line up. She didn't actually play on her cut head that was production and if anything more was made of Jorgie cutting Matts face than Jennifers cut to the head.

Basically, she'll have to top the vote, and I don't think her fanbase is as big as Jorgie's who I think has topped the vote every week.
You have no way of knowing who has topped the vote every week.
It woud a travesty if she made the final above the other three - and given how tough Kati was with the skills test last time I would be expecting her to come down tough with Jen if she is carried around again
Katarina has been very complimentary about Jen's recent improvement and growing confidence.

I think she will go through instead of Chico, yes - but I don't think there is a chance in heck that she'll win. 3rd place will go to her.
I think Chico is least popular with the public and could be in skate off again this week. I also think skills can go by the board in favour of popularity it certainly happened in series one When Gaynor Faye won over Bonnie Langford.
So could Jen win would be a travesty IMO but all things are possible.

And using her toddler son in last night's VT smacked of desperation, when the other skaters' VTs focused on their practice.
Be prepared for Jen to wheel out her lovable gran/nan or tear-jerking ailing relative or friend soon!

Careful some bitterness showing there.

All this energy sapping hatred spent on a parcipitant of DOI.

We might not have seen Jorgie's mum or nan but we've heard all about her 'tough' start in life, which frankly didn't sound tough at all.

We were treated to an in depth video of Matt Ever's accident and Jorgie's 'courage and bravery' in continuing with the necklace spin. Personally I'd have said it was Matt showing the courage, but hey ho, let's not miss a trick when it comes to a bit of good publicity for Jorgie.

Of course the fact that Jennifer did a more complicated necklace spin in the same week and accomplished it flawlessly passed unnoticed.

And then of course we had the unshed tears when Matt W beat her in the head to head and Christine said words to the effect "Don't go all emotional on me."

Desperation for the sympathy vote maybe.

Is she the 1st celeb skater to have their children come to visit? I think not, 'tho I stand corrected if I am wrong.

That little boy was adorable getting whizzed around the ice with Dan

It worked for Suzanne Shaw didn't it?

Matt's son is the same age as Jen's and Chico has two kids but they didn't use their kids to play the Yummy Parent card in their VTs.
Instead, their VTs focused on their training which is what it should be about.
But I suppose a VT of Jen being dragged around on props wouldn't look like training .....

Yet more bitterness because it happened to be Jennifer that had her son come to visit its so sad that you are even picking on the fact that Jennifers son came to watch one day as an excuse for yet another dig. Gary Lucy constantly paraded his child in the VT clips and in the studio but thats ok because its not Jennifer and I forgot in DS world one rule applies to her and not to everyone else.

Other celebs over the years have had family friends kids etc come to the rink so why is it suddenly so wrong for Jennifer to do it.

You refer to Matts child that is their choice not to and it may simply be that Jennifers son was actually just missing his mummy and wanted to see her maybe not for any manipulation or conspiracy as the posters here seem to think.

How can you think a little boy who will more than likely be missing his mummy is being used in this way? He simply came to see her and had a scoot around the ice whilst he was there. We saw more or less saw a 30 sec clip of him. It didn't cross my mind it was for anything else, after all, Jennifer didn't exactly lay it on that she was 'doing it for her son', did she?

There's time yet for Matt and Chico's children to come and see them, what will you say then?

Kerry Katona paraded her kids out in one of her VT's but there again she parades her kids out on a regular basis (like Katie Price) allowing them to be part of their nauseating fly on the wall "this is my life" TV shows

I don't see any harm in the kids attending training sessions but I think that they are included in the VT's to create more "interest" .. just like when famous bandmates/acting buddies/sports team mates are made to attend the practice sessions so that they can be incluced in VTs

And weren't Chelsee's fans crying unfair advantage when Harry's bandmates appeared in his SCD VTs?
If family members are included in VTs, IMO this should be done at the same stage of the competition for all the celebs and not selectively used by different celebs at different times to cover up poor routines.

In fairness Gary Lucy got slated for it on here constantly.

I have noticed you are very defensive towards Jen & Dan but quite happy to dish it out to others - perhaps you are the hypocritical one. Only last week you & others were slating Chemmy for having her friend Zara Phillips in the audience & that was several weeks after the event.
