I think the panels needs to stay the same to show there is some consistency, the panel has changed every series for the past few years, maybe thats the reason it's failing? Because they change it all the time

Jason has been the strongest judge this year so should definitely stay

I don't like the judging lineup changing every five minutes,

Just keep Ashley, Karen, Robin and Jason.

I'd keep Robin as head judge, though he did seem biased this year

Get rid of Karen and bring back Katerina or Nicky

Keep Jason, as he's been good for most of the time this year and I prefer him to Louis

As fourth judge have an ex-contestant who has been in the celebs shoes (skates ) - someone like Susanne, Bonnie, Claire, or Kyran

I want Karen Barber gone. I didn't mind her too much before but after last night she can GTFO. Ashley annoyed me early on but she faded into blandness and I don't care much. Robin should probably stay as head judge but quit overmarking male skaters. Jason is Jason. I expect petulance and immaturity from him so it doesn't bother me when it happens. Apart from continually undermarking Beth and being a tw*t last night he hasn't been too bad this year. He showed remarkable restraint with Luke.

Get rid of Karen and get Katerina back. She was the best judge this show has ever had.

Robin, Katarina, Nicky. Maybe Jason as well.

I like Karen, but she is too emotionally involved. And Ashley - lovely girl but she knows nothing about skating!

I would like Chris and Jayne on the judging panel and leave the choreography to the pro skaters they are more than capable and tbh I am bored with C&J's choreography

I agree that the compulsory elements should be reintroduced, and drawn to our attention, so that the judges are marking on technical stuff and not just their impressions/bias.

As for who should be on the judging panel, I am fine with Robin and Jason continuing, but it seems a bit odd that Karen is a judge as well as a coach, as she will, inevitably, end up biassed. I didn't know that she and Chris Dean were an item, but I don't think that makes any difference to whether she could be a judge.

It may be better if she stays as a coach, and is wheeled out on other programmes to talk about how the celebrities are getting on in training, and hand the judging to someone else.

Please not Louie Spence - he was unbearable.

I do like the idea of one of the panel being a previous winner - that worked on SCD, and could work on this, if they can persuade any of them - and I like the idea of one of the panel being a non-skater. I actually think that Ashley was fine for that, if only it had been balanced by the other judges talking about technical stuff more, which didn't happen nearly enough.

I'd replace the entire panel tbh, perhaps pushing Ashley into the Co-Host role although I quite like Christine now.

I have said before on this thread I would scrap the entire panel and I stand by that at the moment following their attitude last night and the fact that Robin is still continuing his bias on twitter and taking the glory away from Beth.

I have never known this to happen with the judges before fair enough they have been peeved in the past when a favourite hasn't won but never to this degree to the point of pretty much insulting the winner at every turn.

Axe all 4 of them and replace them with Louie Spence, Todd Carty, Joe Pasquale and Cheggers!

Samia and Mel B.
