I've noticed Karen and Jason both dislike Beth for some odd reason as well. Even Ashley to some extent.

Ray has the skating talent to deserve it.

I'd love Hayley to be out before then. I hope Susanne and Beth step their game up (I doubt Bonnie will get that far)

It's Karen that favours Kyran, even before they voted in the duel I told my husband she'd vote for him.

Haley? Really?

I think Haley and Ray are the only two being marked fairly.

Suzanne is overmarked constantly, and Beth is ridiculously undermarked!

Also! Bonnie is being given AWFUL routines!

Possibly beause they think they are the best two skaters rather than their favourites for any other reason?

They think Ray is the best, and, in many ways, he is with a routine that lets him show off his repertoire.

Hayley is very very good at doing dance routines, and she's added some speed and some new lifts that are a bit bigger. She's not in Kyran's league at skating tricks, and Bonnie and Suzanne can dance as well and do bigger lifts. Suzanne can do bigger tricks - she's a bit error prone this series though. Give Suzanne or Bonnie Hayley's routines and they could do them. Hayley can't do many of Suzanne's big moves.


Similarly, give Ray Kyran's choregraphy tonight and he may not look any better, and give Beth Suzanne's and she would be in danger of serious injury.

I have some sympathy for Beth, even when she won last seasons show, the Judges werent too happy about it. I don't get why they are not massive Beth fans.

My own personal view is that they all love Ray!, He is very good and deserves the praise.

They favour people because they are judges! Fairly obvious! As long as it doesn't cloud judgement then yes you are going to have favourites.

I said before this series started I predict a Ray and Hayley final and that would be well deserved, but I also think Suzanne is very likely to be there too to make up the 3 - I initially said Kyran but I think he might not get there. Either way I predict those 4 as the last 4 no matter what the order and again that would be a perfect combination

Never really got why Robin & Karen have a bit of a downer on Beth at times yet gush all over Hayley. Feels like it should be the other way round.

Ray is totally different though - Suzanne was fantastic in the duel tonight but Ray was still in a different class.

All opinion though, I think Hayley outshone her massively tonight. She has the package but Beth really struggles to show character and emotion. She's better in the slower numbers because she can get away with not doing much acting wise, but then Hayley can do those too and still be emotive and pack in the skills.

For the record I love Beth as well..

Should be interesting to see what happens while Robin is away. Will Karen become head judge and have the casting vote?

I really do not get the Hayley love on here sometimes. She for me is one of the weaker skaters in the current batch along with Bonnie and it seems they are going out of their way to hide the flaws by giving her stuff that simply plays to her strengths of overperforming and dancing while not actually doing all that much in the way of the skating itself. Beth IMO outskated her tonight by miles and Beth was certainly putting expression into her performance. I admit I didn't like Beth's second routine but think she was much better in the Duel than Hayley.

However the judges clearly have favourites which are Ray, Hayley and Suzanne. Makes the series almost pointless when the final is pretty much a foregone conclusion and they will probably sulk again if they don't like the result like in last years final when Matt didn't win.

She was Head Judge 4 years ago so I would imagine so.

I didn't see Beth's series but, as a former gymnast, I would have expected her "performance" to be better. Surely, she's had to "present" herself before? She just seems very uncomfortable with it all and I don't get it?

I love Hayley and have surprisingly warmed to Suzanne, after hating her for beating Chris Fountain. Kyran seems awfully pedestrian these days. Gareth is dreadful and I don't like Sam at all. He looks gutted because he knows he is totally outclassed by Ray Quinn.

My final three prediction is Ray, Hayley and Suzanne.

I'm sure you actually mean that you have a feeling Ray will win because he is clearly the best skater. He is streets and streets ahead of the others.

As for being big headed, I don't find him arrogant at all but, if he is, then he has good reason to be. He is class on that ice and only an idiot would argue with that.

Now, Sam I find arrogant - misplaced in my opinion. He clearly hasn't got the popular vote either.

Beth is always criticised for her performance levels & she has improved in this and appears to be working on it constantly so she deserves credit for that. And when they do praise Beth for being good technically it comes across as a bit begrudging and as if it's no big deal. Well sorry for me it is.

Given Hayley's background she should be good at the performance/dance side. But I don't see any improvement in her skating from her series & nobody seems to be pushing her on this.

If Beth & Kyran are constantly criticised on the dance/performance skills then Hayley should be pulled up on her technical weaknesses.

Ray & Suzanne like Hayley have a dance/performance background but both of them especially Ray are fantastic skaters and are constantly pushing themselves & improving. Unless Hayley does likewise for me she doesn't deserve to be in the final and I'd rather Beth or Kyran were there instead.

No he doesn't at all. Arrogance is a very unpleasant trait and shouldn't be confused with confidence.

Sorry, that was what I meant - confidence. Just didn't explain myself very well.

When Hayley was up against Beth last night, the judges acknowledged it was "skating ability over performance" between the two of them, so they know Hayley isn't the best skater.

Beth is always criticised for her performance levels & she has improved in this and appears to be working on it constantly so she deserves credit for that. And when they do praise Beth for being good technically it comes across as a bit begrudging and as if it's no big deal. Well sorry for me it is.

Perfectly said, Tiger Rose.
