![]() ![]() The only moments I remember from last week are the bit in Beth's where she was holding onto the back of Lukaz's neck and they sped across the rink (that was a WOW moment as I'd never seen it done before), and a bit from Sam's where he did a pretty complicated lift with Vicky when flying. I remember the music from Ray's...but that's it. Don't remember music from any routines, and nothing else stood out. Flying is a waste of time - should have been props weeks ON ICE!!! The only reason I've been talking about Hayley's routine is that I couldn't believe she got 40 for it. Personally I thought it was boring, but nothing much interests me in the flying. |

IMO all of the flying routines were pretty forgettable this year (I hate flying anyway, but over the years the only routines I remember are Suzanne's and Ray's original routines).

And I couldn't understand why Beth won in the first place - maybe the fact that she won a bronze medal in the Olympic Games had something to do with it. |

I think they got too lost in the music.
Hayley was fortunate to be accompanied by a very haunting song, which added to the performance so much more than Arthur's Theme for example. |

Think the song clinched it for them. I honestly believe that any of the others could have performed to that piece of music and would have got the same result.

Ha, ha. She (Hayley) can only beat him on the flying.
She will never beat him with actual ice-skating that's for sure.I have just noticed that my clip of Hayley's flying on YouTube has had 1586 hits. It looks as if once again the doomsayers are going to look foolish when the overall winner is announced. It reminds me of when all those who predicted disaster for Denise Van Outen in SCD ended up with egg on their faces. |

She won't need to if the public like her best. After all, that's how Beth won in her year.

Even if the gbp vote her the best it doesn't mean that she is. Most of the public know little about ice-dancing so they really are not good judges. Hayley will know that Ray and Beth are better than her even if she does win.

I thought it was a good routine and she seemed to effortlessly fly through all the positions. However, Beth was much better as Chris rightly pointed out. The men were awful though, especially Ray.

Did they?
IIRC Louis Smith won.. For being male - which favours Ray. With 2 female challengers in the last 3 - which fits Ray For having the journey story - which favours Beth who has actually traveled much further. The SCD judges backed the story at the last minute and overspun it - the DOI judges are ignoring Beth's story. For having opposition which was too experienced, or not that popular - which doesn't seem to be running as a factor against Ray or Hayley. For being a gymnast , and being able to add gymnastic wow factor. This would work better for Beth as the skating allows more wow factor than dancing set steps should, and her ice dancing is better than Louis' Latin or Ballroom. The olympic effect has worn off, but Beth has gained fans since because of DOI. DOI hasn't really thought of how to use her talents though. |

I won't mind a bit if Hayley wins.
Speaking as a 'non-skater', I enjoy watching her and Ray skate the most. I think DS will implode if that happens

For the weakest skater to win a skating competition would make a mockery of it - what a way for the final show to end

That's just the point - it isn't just a skating competition but partly a popularity contest, else how would Beth have won?
Let's face it, while people may have (possibly reluctantly) accepted the victories of Darren Gough and Chris Hollins in their respective Strictly series, would anyone (and I mean anyone, apart from a few die-hard fans of said celebs) really want them to win an all-stars series of SCD? Well I feel the same about Hayley and Dancing On Ice. |
