Fantastic!

Worst result possible Beth cant perform and Hayley cant skate. Ray can do both WAY ahead of either of them. Shows what a joke the show has become

I think Ray will get a big boost from being in the skate off and end up winning .

No it's not because after tonight poor result people who don't normally vote will next week to see that the best skater wins! The Champion of Champion Final has been devalued by not graving the best line-up.

Very true - but then it is not really a competition is it?

It is a joke of a show, the judges have made sure of that.

I expect it will be Beth and Ray. Ray will get a boost from being in the skate off this week, and finals tend to attract voters who haven't voted throughout the series and will vote for the better skaters, rather than people they have formed attachments to.

No matter what happens in the quarter and semi final the best person normally wins in the final. I've voted for Beth previously but will vote for Ray in the final.

People will vote for Ray next week,. This week it was all about Beth and Hayley and the bias from the judges. I'm pretty sure Ray will win.

As much as I'd like that I think Ray will win, don't want him to as find him slightly arrogant/cocky.

Whilst I know Hayley isn't a great solo skater I love her partnership with Dan, with him she is great.

I really hope so Sam and Ray are my favourites and have voted Sam up until now knowing Ray was safe.. I voted Ray tonight as knew Sam was a goner so wasnt going to waste my money. Hope for Ray first, Beth second and hayley third.. Her flying routine tonight was a joke she hardly touched the ice

Hope so it will be the best final two ever in this show.

I hope so. It would be a travesty if the best skater didn't win.

It's possible.. But I think Hayley & Ray with Hayley taking the crown.

Very hard to tell as we still don't know how the voting is between the girls. I'd say it's now a question of which girl will join Ray in the bolero as he should get the votes on the night to at least come 2nd.

We know Beth is popular but we don't know if Hayley is equally popular - eg would she have also avoided the skate off had she been in Beths position tonight? We just don't know yet.

I can see this going any way which is exciting at least even though Ray ought to win.

Well in the absence of Joe Pasquale and Todd Carty - yes it will.

I've lost the will to watch now. Even the thought of the entire panel spontaneously combusting following a Beth win isn't cheering me up. Much. And if Pollyanna Jazzhands takes it... no I can't actually bring myself to finish that sentence.

Also Beths could be influenced as much by her comparatively lower scores and comments. Things could change in the final. But I also wouldn't be surprised to see her win. Either way this is my ideal final 3 and Ray being in a skate off means nothing is definite here

I would love an all girl final. But I think Ray will get a rebound vote next week.

Ray will still win this easily, tonight was complacency, nothing more nothing less. The Public assumed he was safe, hence the surprising skate off.

Although despite the travesty of seeing Ray in that position, i thought it was good tv, seeing a shock such as that!

Just shows you got to vote if you want the best skater to win!

I like Hayley and Beth, both are very good, but like i say Ray will cruise home, he will be relentless come finals night and come out deserving winner!

Totally agree. Tonight's result was the best thing possible for him.

People won't assume he is bound to win now so will cast their votes accordingly. Cos he deserves to win as he is by far and away the best skater left.

I'm hoping for a Ray/Beth final with Ray to win - and I think that's what will happen.

Maybe not. Judges marks don't count next week so there is no having to vote for Beth to save her from skate off. We also don't know who Sam voters will change allegiance to. If Hayley rolls out Jai Ho next week that could be the vote clincher

The viewers have always voted for the best in the final.

It pains me to say that because Clare, Laura and Jorgie were my favourites of their series, but on the night, Kyran, Sam and Matthew performed better and deserved their win.

Tactics seem to be left behind once the final comes around, and the majority tend to vote for the best. It's not always the case on other reality shows, but on Dancing on Ice, the *best has always won, in my opinion.

Ray will get a boost and will out-perform both of them. I imagine tonight was about getting Beth to the final for a lot of people. They knew she would be screwed if she hit the skate off, so Ray was able to be 'sacrificed' in the knowledge that he'd be saved by the judges.

*Best meaning on the night - not overall!

I hope not. It should be Ray and Beth in the final two. I am happy for Ray to win, but also happy for Beth to win.

I be gutted if it is because Ray should be crowned the winner
