I can't agree if anyone is a favorite it is Haley, Suz & Beth do much higher quality dances

Are you joking?

Hayley might be a good performer, but she's the worst skater remaining. Her technical ability is never picked up on (although, Karen mentioned it tonight very briefly) which is annoying.

Hayley's performance tonight was a performance that would get a high score in a 'normal' series around this time of the competition, but against the 'best'? It's a joke that her score is higher than Beth's.

Suzanne's routine might have been a little bit messy tonight, but Hayley could never do that performance and look as good as Suzanne makes it look. Nor could Hayley do Beth's routines.

Hayley continues to get routines that are played to her strength, whereas the other two girls don't. Hayley, for whatever reason, is the chosen one, here - not Suzanne.

No they weren't. Suzanne is finally getting the recognition in her scores that she deserves. She was also finally given a routine with choreography more skilled than what shes been given for the last few weeks.

Suzanne was finally given a good routine this week and I think the judges were excited to see that. Not sure about the 10 but it was worth more than Hayley and Beth tonight.

I would mark Beth higher than Suzanne everytime but Hayley cant skate as well as Suzanne. (Beth and Hayley are my faves btw) I didnt think Suzanne deserved the 10 from Karen.

Suzanne did backward skating and was going quite fast so she can obviously skate well.

Was great to see them skating side by side in the team challenge. Beth is as good a performer as the other 2 girls.

Hayley stands still half the time and waves her arms around! She's the worst of the girls.

Exactly, poor Beth, she's not an actress so why bang on about performance. She is a brilliant skater who can dance and perform.

Suzanne really did not deserve the 10, because her landing from the final lift was clumsy, but 9 was about right.

I think Hayley is the favourite and is given choreography best suited to her. Beth and Suzanne are given inferior routines compared to Hayley and it's quite irritating but shows her up as the favourite.

Well I agree for that alone she should not have had a 10 mark from Karen.

With that 10 Karen then set a prededent! So Ray had to get a 10 from her etc.

The thing that really bothers me is that Hayley's skating ability is never picked on.

She's no where near the level Suzanne and Beth are at, so whilst Beth might not be as good as those two in terms of performance, Hayley's not as good as them skating, so why is this never mentioned?

Apart from Karen very briefly mentioning it tonight (note that she didn't compare her skating to the other two girls, though), nobody else comments on it. That's what annoys me! It's all so unfair and when Hayley is getting higher marks than Beth simply because she "performs", so what? Beth puts all her work into her skating, and is seeing no improvement (in the judges comments and scores) for it.

Really, really angry about this now
I hope Beth gets a surge of votes tonight and survives the bottom two - although, it's very rare at the final six for last place to get through. She needs to come at least second in the vote for her to make it through, although even then it's not guaranteed as it depends where the others all fall. So, her only option is to come first. How possible that is, I don't know...

Exactly Nicky goes on about performance and skating, but doesn't pick up on or comment on Hayleys non-skating. She just stands around pulling emotional faces.

Favouritism! Are you joking! Suzanne has been stitched up with the dullest possible routines for weeks and was shafted in the duel by being put up against Ray.

Totally agree!

Beth is technically fantastic and really skates well and does stuff the other girls could only dream of. IMO

I think Suzanne was overmarked but wouldn't agree about Hayley being better. Beth is definitely one of the best if not the best of the girls in terms of actual skating ability.

Beth for me should have been marked a lot higher than she was Hayley I think was overmarked and Suzanne I would have marked down a bit I certainly don't think it was worth the 10.

Really don't know what Beth has to do with the judges she is doing stuff never been done before but gets no recognition for it all the others have to do is turn up paste on the stage school smile and instantly get the votes regardless of what else they actually do or don't do in the routine. Really hope Beth pulls the public vote tonight and goes through.

It is also rare in team challenge week for the public not to reverse the stupid mucking about with the leaderboard caused by the points doubling nonsense.

Its not only skating its lifts and tricks. if you look at Melinda Messenger's routines on youtube Hayley does that level of difficulty - sometimes less of it. She then gets a dance routine - which she can concentrate on as she's not jumping, upside down, leaping, or being spun floated or held aloft between steps. Hayley hasn't even done her spins - which they used for Jai Ho - Sam did one tonight that was better than she did there too.

Beth has better lines and extensions than Hayley or Suzanne. And of course flexibility. Not keen on Nicky as a judge. And find it hard to watch this after watching The Olympics.

I saw it differently. I thought Beth looked quite stiff compared to the other two, and even made me wonder how she won her series.
For me, Suzanne was easily the best tonight.
