The reason I ask is because just comparing last Sunday's show alone, she marked Hayley's solo higher than Beth (8.5 vs 8.0) and then marked Hayley's pair skate a 10.0 whilst giving Beth an 8.0?. Compared to last series, Ashley was usually the one to give Beth the lowest score more often than not so what do you think her problem is?
Does Ashley have it in for Beth?
I don't think so, I think it's just because Ashley has no knowledge of ice skating so judges pretty much entirely on performance, so Hayley obviously comes up on top.
I agree. I don't think she has it in for her, but Ashley is a dancer, she's looking for a dancer (on ice), and Beth is no dancer.
I agree with all replies however, it is supposed to be about ice dance. She should try to judge some skating though.
I agree with what everyone else has said. Shes a performance judge so Hayley comes out on top compared to Beth.

I think so too. Sad really since she takes all advice on board and never answers back.

This is exactly what I was gonna say.

This. There's absolutely no reason at all why they'd 'have it in for Beth'
The judges take a lot of consideration into performance which is why she sometimes suffers in the marks, fair enough if you don't agree with that but it's not them having some inexplicable problem with Beth and feeling the need to mark her down as a result, it's simply a different judging criteria.

It's obvious they don't like her for some reason or another. They didn't even clap when she won last year - says it all really.

I didn't remember that being the case so just checked, their reaction was fairly subdued but they DID clap.

Pretty sure that was more out of disappointment at Matt not winning? There's absolutely no reason at all why they'd have anything personal against her...

Ah yes I've just checked and three of them did (although they didn't do a good job of hiding their anger!) but Jason just sat there looking pretty mad. Even if they did prefer Matt, they could have at least looked happy for Beth. It seems like a rather odd reaction if they did actually like her
Of course we will never actually know how they feel personally but it is obvious they have favourites and Beth has never been one of them. Whether that's because they're anti-Beth or pro-everyone else like I said, we'll never know.
