I hope whoever you are backing to win that people actually pick up the phone and vote because otherwise you cannot complain if your favourite does not win.

I also hope that people genuinely vote for who they believe is best performer/skater and not just to get back at judges as it is not the conetstants fault if any (mainly one) of the judges can be a bit of an ass at times.

Why can't we complain? What's going to stop us?

Fortunately for me, I can vote for who I think is best and get back at judges at the same time.

Jason will be getting ideas above his station, when he realises just how influential he has been on the voting.

I'm sure he's well aware. Programs like this use controversial judges to boost phone vote revenue.

The OP is right, ignore the judges and vote for who you think is best.

Meaning Beth?

Why the assumption that any vote cast for Beth is 'to get back at the judges.' Has it not occurred to you that her supporters think she is the best.

Exactly. Getting bored of everyone assuming her being in the final is due to the fact she's got some sort of sympathy vote.

No I don't mean Beth but if you look not just on this forum but others there are a lot of people who are clearly stating that they are voting just to get it "up" the judges rather that for the best performer.

If you think Beth ,Ray or Haley is the best then vote for them but don't vote against anyone just because you are annoyed at the judges that is all i am saying.

I'm sure her supporters do think she is the best but I believe she did get a big sympathy vote last week. Anyway we will soon see.

Good for you at least you are voting for the person you believe is best and not just out of petulance, i hope everyone does the same.

Well the judges praise Ray (justifiably) and praise Hayley (unjustifiably) so the only finalist they don't praise is Beth - so I think it's very clear that votes for her will get up the judges noses and despite your denials that's who you're referring to.

As for reasons for voting that is down to the individual.

I'm voting for Hayley and Beth because I prefer watching them to Ray. Nothing to to with the judges. I would just rather one of the girls won
