I've read it - I thought Sam's hair looked odd in the pic with Ray then realised I think he's wearing a cap
![]() I wonder who the elderly couple are in the pic at the bottom - it doesn't say? (Maybe Ray's grandparents?) |

Very nice blog, he comes across very well. Very nice about Sam, although Robin said Sam was one of the best technical skaters not the best.
Ray clearly thinks Sam was the better technical skater, which further shows he is not arrogant or cocky |

It's safe to say that I've been given a brutal wake up call. This competition is far from over and I need all the support from people voting at home that I can get.
Translation: I thought I had won this show with ease.Wow, he really does think the world of himself. After his "shaken to the bones" comment at being in the skate off as well, I'm hoping he doesn't win now. |

The good thing is that a) he'll come back fighting on Sunday and b) it will cause his complacent supporters to lift the phone now they know he needs the votes. |

"Robin and Jason saved me in the end but Robin said that Sam shouldn't have been in the skate-off as he was technically the most talented skater left on the show."
Translation: The public were wrong putting Sam in the skate off over Beth and Hayley. "Robin was right, it wasn't fair but it's not just about the judges' decision the public votes clearly hadn't gone our way." Translation: I shouldn't have been in the skate off. He's so smug, I know he's the best skater left but criticising the public's voting choice and saying others should have been in the skate off just tries to put Hayley, Beth and the public in a bad light but in my opinion it just puts Ray in a bad light. |

Ray is a bit uneasy now because he thinks it might come down to who is the most popular, not who is the best (which he certainly is).

Just because you make it up does not make it true.

He is the best skater and dancer but to me he comes across unlikeable. I normally back the underdogs in these shows or someone who doesn't have much skating / dancing experience prior to being a contestant.ETA: I mean before their initial series, not this one obviously as they all have previous ice dance experience through their own series. |

I've found Ray more enjoyable this series - I really didn't like him in Series 4 but I think he's very deserving of winning (even though he isn't my favourite) due to his skating / dancing skills.

![]() Personally I prefer watching someone progress over the series who comes from no ice dancing background and progresses over the series like Donal for example. |

Maybe there is some confusion with Chris Fountain who was an experienced ice hockey player before DOI? I appreciate that Ray started at a high level because he took to ice skating very naturally and was naturally talented so his progress may be less obvious to some but just to reiterate Ray had NO ice dancing background AT ALL! |

I think he doesn't come across as likeable as the two girls but I'd say he's improved his skating and dancing this series compared to the high level he achieved in his series. To me Ray is less likeable than the others but he is deserving of the trophy as he is the best skater and dancer out of the contestants. Mind you, if Chris Fountain was in this series I think he could've got the title of Best Skater but sadly we'll never know.

If this was 'Big Brother', I'd be supporting the nicest, most likeable personality. It's not, so I couldn't give a flying fig about who out of these three likeable people is the most likeable! I also don't care who's had the biggest journey, etc, etc. This is about who's the best ice dancer. It would be a travesty if that person doesn't win. Your BIB says it all!
