Its a bit of a joke
I can see why viewing figures are dipping it is so predictable.
As soon as Hayley got 9.5's it was so obvious that Ray would get 10's. I don't know what it is about him but he comes across arrogant and smug. His face last week when he got 9's for example |

To be fair, he has a lot to be smug about. In that partnership Ray looks like the pro and Maria like the celeb.

Ray is in a class of his own, can't fault him. He's brilliant!

Let me guess... you don't like Ray?
He is a great skater but he knows it. Beth and Hayley are not as big headed as him |

I saw it coming as soon as we found out he'd be on last. Once Hayley got 9.5s, it was even more obvious. I just can't bring myself to warm to him, I've enjoyed his performances though so far this series but that wasn't a 40.0 performance.

Not watching the results as watching The Jump.
Did he do his usual shouting Yes Yes Yes yes when his name was called? |

The judges should give themselves a rule that means no-one can get more than a 9 at this stage, then for the next few weeks cap it at 9.5, and save maximum 10s for the last few weeks. It's all a bit pointless otherwise.

If it all comes down to viewer votes, I think Beth will win!

I see what you're saying about the predictability of the scoring.
The problem with the scoring is that the judges watch the rehearsals so they know roughly how they're going to mark before each 'live' performance. The only time they need to adjust their scores is when something goes wrong. For example, they may have had 8.0's on their mind for Suzanne, but she messed up a lift, so they dropped to 7.5's. It all comes across planned/fake due to the fact the scores are figured out beforehand. It doesn't help when they save the best performances for the last two/three slots each week, either. |

Not saying I don't like him but to give him a perfect 40 in week 4 is a bit of a joke. I didn't see much difference between his routine, Hayleys and Beth.

Absolutely, and I disagree with the OP, when I watched it I thought it had to be 10s, what could you fault about it, the lifts were clean, the attitude was on it and the matador leaps were something else. And I think people mistake confidence with smug, he is an exceptional skater, clearly above anyone else (although obviously both Beth and Hayley had excellent routines that would have been 10s in any other series) and he has to be marked accordingly: I can't wait to see what he does next and is the reason I'm back into DOI after a few years of being non-plussed
So agree - Ray and Maria were brilliant...there are some really good skaters in the show but Ray is in a class of his own.

Ray may be arrogant and smug but lets be honest he has every right to be like that!
The guy is in a class of his own. The scoring was perhaps predictable but he deserved straight 10's across the board. |

Ray would probably still top the leaderboard even if he skated first
![]() I just meant in general saving the best few until last isn't doing the show any favours. Making us sit through the performances that are there just to "make up the numbers" whilst we wait for the better performances of the week to come on is stupid. Look at the comments in the discussion thread - the majority found Kyran's, Suzanne's, Gareth's and Bonnie's performances underwhelming. Throwing Beth, Hayley, Ray or even Sam into the mix, separating those performances would have helped lift the show. |

He is not as arrogant as Sam.

In your silly way of thinking and judging they must see a stake worth 10 and then say "Oh wait it's only week 4 so we must lie about it and mark it lower because of the week we are on". That's just silly. |

Having Jayne and Chris skate half way through seemed odd too - as if to separate the first group from the second

No one ever has a right to be arrogant, regardless of their talent. Confident, yes. Arrogant, never. He is the wrong side of the line between the two!
