Actually you can't rely on the GBP at all.

They got it wrong in the first series....well in my opinion anyway.

I think Zaraah and Fred have guts and determination in spades and will feel they have nothing to lose this week!! That will free up those nerves from Zaraah's point of view and they'll turn in an inspired performance - I have faith!! And will send votes!!

Of course there's always the chance that the majority of the GBP may not agree with your views. Not everyone will agree with you you know.

Suzanne and Zaraah will be bottom I think.

For your sake I hope you are right but history shows that Zaraah does not do well under pressure, usually her skate off dance is poorer than her show dance. I am not sure she handles nerves well but won't mind if I am proved wrong

Chris will win (And well deserved) but I think Zaraah should at least come 2nd or even 3rd, All of this is in my opinion!”

The show is "Dancing On Ice" not "Cirque de celebrata". Being graceful in the air means very little in Ice Skating if you cant skate well. Take out the lifts and take out the parts where shes in hold with Fred and thus being supported and you have routines that last from 5 to 20 seconds, and not 5 to 20 seconds of high class skating but skating thats as wobbly as a weeble (If that refernece goes over anyones head, weebles are a kids toy that are charachters that have a rounded bottom instead of legs, this means they wobble under the slightest touch)

Without a solid skating base shes simply unable to be as techically good on the ice as anyone left and infact even alot of those who have gone

Off topic I know - but "weebles wobble, but they don't fall down."

I think this is a lovely attitude to have but I'm not sure it will hold true. I would have thought that last week being in the skate off with Greg would have made her relax- after all it was fairly obvious Greg was going to go- he was 4 points behind her (i think!) on the leaderboard, but she still seemed to let nerves get the better of her.

I think that Zaraah will be the next to leave unless she does an amazing performance... however even if she is at the top of the leaderboard I think she will still be in the bottom two because she just doesn't have the same fan base as the others.

It would be interesting to see Suzanne vs. Chris though... who would the judges pick???

Personally I would like to see Gareth go, it's not that I dislike him, but I don't find his performances very entertaining or exciting.

I agree with you - although whether you mean you think Stefan or someone else should have won I don't know. I felt that Gaynor only won series 1 because of Dan and I was rooting for Stefan who did great with the actual skating part and did the best 'props' performance (ever in my opinion). I wasnt' keen on Bonnie either as she seemed to rely on her partner and her dance experience and skated very little so we never found out whether or not she could.

With Zaarah it seems she should have the same advantage as Suzanne in being trained in dance but she doesn't seem able to capitalise on it the way Suzanne has, or to combine it with the tricky footwork and surety in her skating as Suzanne has (when choreography has allowed).

So while Chris has taken a solid skating base and added some great dancing - though not yet enough of a partnership to be a dead cert to win and Suzanne has added the skating skills to her dance prowess and Gareth is making steady progress in both skating and dance, it seems Zaarah hasn't lived up the the potential we saw in her first week.

So I think Zaarah will be next to leave as she doesn't have the wow factor of Chris's skating or of Suzanne's routines, nor has she shown the progression that Gareth has, which makes it hard to find a reason to vote for her.

If she is in the skate off against Suzanne she has a chance of staying. I would prefer Suzanne to go. She reminds me a bit of Lisa Scott-Lee from last series- a bit too desperate to win

I don't agree, Suzanne is far superior at skating/dancing that Zaraah. Some of Suzannes moves make you go WOW and hold your breath similar to Chris attempting the axel but I can honestly say Zaraah has never made me excited,

I think to get people to actually to pick up the phone and vote you have to do something to make them think they saw some thing special. Zaraah has been in the skate offs 3 times, Suzanne has escaped them despite scoring less than Zaraah last week so that in itself shows how the public are reacting

See I'm the opposite - I hadn't voted til Zarrah joined and she's what made me vote. I like watching the other three and if you ask me to pinpoint what I prefer I probably couldn't tell you.

Personally I think Sunday is not set in stone and anyone could leave - even being top of the leaderboard won't protect anyone.

IMO, I think this series has been a travesty from the start. Chris was always going to be the winner, otherwise why put a skater into a competition with non-skaters?

If I didn't know better I would swear that the show was designed to showcase him.

Personally, I would like to see Chris go as, if you think about it, he was the only skater in a non-skater competition; that's called cheating imo.

I agree with you, nothing is set in stone and we could be in for a few surprises on Sunday

Thing is I like them all, Gareth is my favorite but any of them will do Some of these comps I have desperately not wanted a certain person to win but this time I will be happy with the outcome no matter which one steals the crown

Me too! and last week I thought the judges over marked him, putting him above bothe Zaraah and Suzanne, who both skated better IMO.

I hope Zaraah makes it through and Gareth goes out.

I hope Gareth stays, I love his performances, he is doing proper ice dancing and he has improved a lot. Robin knows what he is talking about when he praises Gareth precise foot work.
