So, we have at least another week of "Dame" sulky Kelly to suffer now!

"Pandering" is the word.

Ohhh how wrong are the judges!!! They've now got it wrong two weeks in a row!

Clearly money well spent there ITV

Sorry, but she was better tonight imo...yes she deserved to go last week, we ALL know that, but it's irrelevant really if you're judging on individual performances and not past results.

Kelly's performance was good tonight, as anybody could see who isn't totally biased against her.

She was far far better than Sean or Bonnie.

so why didnt the judges use that rule the first couple of weeks?

I didn't think Kelly was that great tonight. She came over better because it was a slow, quite simple routine. At the start of the routine she was basically just being towed along by her partner, so it was easy for her to look graceful as all she had to do was glide.

Exactly, who can forget she's a Dame with two gold medals? Certainly not us!

Everyone does forget the fact it took her 20 years to get them though... obviously not that good.

What so everyone who didn't like her performance is biased?! I personally think she looks tense and nervous the whole way through and is far from elegant!

The only reason Sean and Marika have been voted down is because they can't do lifts, which isn't their fault... if she was shorter or he was taller, they probably wouldn't have been in the position they were tonight.

Kelly has been poor from day 1 and I can't see her getting much better.

What the hell has pandering got to do with it, why would they even bother? Jason has given Kelly the most stick out of everyone by far pretty much, but even he saved her tonight and I feel certain he would never have done that if he didn't think she deserved it over Sean.

We've already been here, and I have no idea...that was the rule Phillip Schofield stated several times from day one, it obviously didn't get through to the judges, but in the last 2 weeks in particular they've taken that rule fully on board I think.

Funnily enough i knew even before the skate off that Jason would save Kelly if it was at all reasonable to do so.

It was his chance to show the public that, for all his previous criticism, he has Utmost Respect For Dame Kelly And Her Enormous Achievements In The Field And At Heart Is A Decent Man.

Or maybe he just preferred her performance

He did say though, and this seems to be bending the rules again, that he thinks Kelly has the most potential...

I'm really fed up with that result.

Sean and Marika really do "skate" together. To me they do what ice dancing is about.

When I watched the Olympics when Torvill and Dean were in them, I seem to remember the pairs doing all the acrobatic stuff more.

Maybe I'm wrong but the dancing with Sean was so good.

Kelly looks like shes in need of winding up half the time.

Another good call by the judges imo. Kelly was better this week than Sean - he was wobbling about all over. She actually looked very graceful (and I didn't think I'd ever say that!).

People on here are very biased. Judging purely on the performances in the skate-off, the right decision has been made every time imo.

Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't make them biased.

I thought Kelly's performance in the skate-off was weaker than her earlier performance and also weaker than both of Sean's performances. I thought Sean's unassisted jump was also better... just because Kelly did two, doesn't make it good.

Ive got to say that i do not like kelly and love sean but from a purely performance viewpoint i would say that kelly did just shave it. I was hoping she'd trip or be terrible but ive gotta give her credit and say she did do well.

is that us back to her masculine physique again?!?

Fair enough - we've all got different opinions, you're right about that I just feel that this forum is very anti Kelly and it appears very biased that people were criticising her being put through tonight when she did seem (to me...and the judges) to be much better this evening.

I thought she'd be out the first time she had to do the skate-off because she has been weak previously, but tonight was the correct result. In my opinion of course

u should train and get some quicker then her then.

see you in 2024 i guess

I can't believe we have to suffer another week of Dame Kelly and her attitude

I didn't see the results show. Am I right in gathering that it was between Kelly and Sean and Sean went out?

Yeah. Sean lost the vote 4-1 to Kelly.

Yes once again the chronic judges vote off the strongest skater for the second week in a row despite both strong skaters perfoming the better of the two in the skate off in the last two weeks, how crap is that.

We the public are being conned week in week out by the programme makers,producers and the judges etc in the phone voting.

They want to keep viewing figures up to make it look good, tell me this why dosen't the public have the casting vote to decide who actually goes, for sure it would not be who the judges vote for each week thats for sure.

Judges should have their say on performance then give a mark according to performance and thats it let the public decide and only then will we have a proper winner.

For sure next week the next strongest skater to be out will be David and Pam, the judges are clearing the way for a Bonnie victory even though she dosen't skate as well as the others as was proved with the poor performance she did tonight. All she seems to do is fly in the air, her skating skills aren't as good as some of the others.

The format has to change big time if there's another series in order to reflect true skating and dancing performance. The public ain't daft and will keep the better skaters in as it makes for better viewing not like the judges voting out the stronger dancing skaters. Sean and John were absolutely Sha#ted big time by the judges not the public.

Anyway thats enough of the grumping all smiles from now on, well just till the next show when it all kicks off again.

It would be interesting to see if it was the judges who picked who were in the bottom two and then the public had to vote someone out, whether results throughout the series would have been the same.

I'm inclined to think they might even have been conveniently arranged to do so.
