Are people saying that it's not fair as Luke is only there because Gareth pulled out and yet think that it would have been acceptable to put through Gareth when he had only skated once, not very well and had not flown in flying week, like Luke had done?
Now that would have been a farce if anything would.
Putting through someone who hadn't done what was required in the show and possibly not going to be well enough for the final would have made this show look ridiculous.
This is what I mean by the underdog - Little Luke turns up, does his best and gets talked about like he shouldn't have dared to even enter the show. Luke turned up and did all the required routines last night and should be complimented on that.
But let's get Matt out first next week and then leave the rest to fate. ”
Nobody is saying anything of the sort. It is simply that Luke is by far the weakest skater and, had Gareth not left last night, there is little doubt that in the skate-off Luke would have been given his marching orders and not before time! He is lucky to have lasted as long as he has. He may well have tried his best but it just hasn't been good enough and just doing all his routines doesn't qualify him to be a winner. Harsh maybe in your eyes but true!
To even think that Luke would not have been bottom of the board last night in normal circumstances is plain daft!
