Chris Fountain was an ice hockey player and started with that posture but corrected it as he progressed so that he was more graceful

his reaction to getting through was a bit OTT and IMO comes across as a bit disrespectful to the others”

Yet Robin just sits there and throws 9s at him for skating that way.”

...and for these reasons, I don't want him to win.

Someone mentioned previous contestants such answering back before, I've no problem with answering back but its all in the delivery. Jeff Brazier for example answered back but did it with charm. Luke has all the charm of a toddler throwing a tantrum when he does it, answering back is all well and good but so is showing a little bit of respect to the judges.”

Never thought i would see Jeff Brazier & charm in the same sentence. His charm was certainly lost on me.

Fully agree and he is still too cocky IMO even now when on TM. Thought it was hilarious yesterday when Sylvain told him the lunge him and Kerry were doing in the stupid finger rink thing wasn't actually a lunge at all.

He was not impressed at Sylvain showing him up I don't think and he drives me nuts on there anyway as he has no real knowledge and I don't like either him or Kerry commenting on the show and acting like they were best thing to ever happen to DOI.

I really don't understand why This Morning have those 2 on. I always used to record it on Mondays when DOI was on but gave up doing this a few weeks ago. I can't imagine that anyone is interested in what they have to say. They don't even have the interview with the couple who have left without those 2 having their say.

and the couple of times they've had Kian Egan previewing DOI on a Friday, he's called Beth "Beth Tweedle" .. he's useless

they should have a couple of the eliminated pros as reviewers

Matt Evers would have been an obvious choice.

Perhaps respectful would have been a better word to use. Each to their own.

No I don't like Matt very much either. I just don't see any warmth in him, not even when he was introducing his nana. Sorry Matt fans.

I can't stand Matt!. hes DOI's Golden Boy, the chosen one if you will. I find him cocky and arrogant.

Matt winning would mean yet another soap star winner, that would be 3 on the bounce!

I hope and pray that he doesn't win, i would much rather have either Beth or Gareth winning than him.

This 100%

Funny - I don't find Matt arrogant at all, just determined and confident. Not because I'm a soap fan as I've never heard of him before!

Luke is the one I don't take to and the only one of the final four that I don't 'like'.

Matt and Brianne's flying dance tonight was awesome!

No! your not. He gets bigged up and while hes a very competant skater he just goes at it like a bull at a gate.

Really?! With all due respect I thought it was WAY overmarked!

So would I. Worried about Gareth. Hes a great guy. It wont be good for him being so large anyway.

Come on Beth wipe that smile off Matt's face. He is so sure he will win.

Sorry for not toeing the forum line, but I think he's bloody good. I've got no idea what he's like in person because I've never met him, and I've never seen him in Eastenders - to me he's just a bloke in a skating contest, and I find him a pleasure to watch. But hey, obviously my oversight.
