He's just poetry in motion, isn't he? The other contestants are just not in the same league.
Even when I've seen others (Kyran, Suzanne, Sam) do things that Ray hasn't done/can't do, it hasn't mattered because what Ray's done is so much smoother, better performed and better put together than anything the aforementioned have produced this series that it's irrelevant. As for anything that Beth or (hahahaha) Hayley has produced - erm... well - I really don't know what they're looking at. I have no issue with those who admit Ray is best (overall) but prefer someone else (even if I don't understand why they do ). I am totally baffled by those who think either Hayley are Beth are best overall. Usually I'd let opinion reign. However, here, opinion is completely wrong.

However, here, opinion is completely wrong.I agree with you too about Rays performance and for me, its so close to perfection that it is difficult for him to improve. Yes, you could add in even more technical lifts...I'm sure he'd cope with them as hes mastered fantastic lifts already and has the work ethic and confidence to learn anything, but I just feel that any more lifts would detract from the beauty and fluidity of his performance, the dancing on ice part, which is what is so beautiful to watch. Having watched a few of the clips from the tour, I think the one area where he can improve is on the bigger ice rink. Jane Torville mentioned that so many celebs struggled with it, while others thrived on it. Ray has got great speed on it, which just makes his performance even better....which is why I'm so excited that I'm going to see it live

People can be critical of the panel but Jane and Chris's credentials are beyond question, so when they say he could easily have been a pro had he chosen such a path, I rest my case.

Because Maria was skating with Gary Lucy who was runner up that year so Ray had to change partners and dance with Alex.
I suppose it was only fair to Gary, but I somehow felt a 'winner' would be given precedence over a mere runner-up (who I never liked much anyway ![]() ) so it seemed a strange decision to me.

I have said it before and will say it again - it will be a travesty if Ray doesn't win as he is the best skater and dancer and rarely puts a foot wrong. What time is the final on tomorrow? I have to go out at 7.30 but hoping the lines will be open so I can vote for Ray before I leave.

It's on at 7 pm. They might open the lines at the beginning, they do that on X Factor sometimes

It starts at 7pm but whether the lines will be open then, who knows? I hope so for your sake - and Ray's of course.

Interesting that he's wearing his Flamenco shirt in that clip - suggests that is what Ray and Maria are skating as their favourite routine.

Irrespective of who is voted to be the winner, Ray and Maria will be the winners in my eyes.

Thanks for the clip, Patti-Ann. Well said Ray - was that a hint when he said "I'm going to get back on the bull..."?

Ray isn't as tall as Kyran or Sam so even a small height/build difference in his partner could limit what lifts he can do with Maria. |

Wonder if it's the flamenco routine from this series, or their 'Bailamos' routine from their original series, or a mix of both?
