Oh no, not Ruth again.

Just because her latest musical flopped doesn't mean she has to be inflicted on us again. The pro-skaters know as much about choreography as she does, and more importantly they know how to choreograph for ice dancing.

According to wikipedia, it's Jason who's being replaced. Apparently Karen Barber's husband is filling in, because he filled in for Robin Cousins sometimes on the tour.

I really cant take to Ruthie...I wish she was replaced with another skater - Jason is there to give his dancing views and thats enough.

And regarding the so called pay rise. Karen to be fair works with the skaters for the 12 weeks its on air but also weeks before.....why should the others get the same when she works longer and harder? Its not fair.

Also comparing the pays to XFactor is stupid. X is a bigger show with Cowell behind it so he can afford to pay more etc. I would hardly compare Jason or Ruthie in the same league as Cowell. ITV should have just replaced them but kept Karen and Robin.

It doesn't have to be. Ruthie was brought in because the American judge (whose name I can't remember at the moment) wasn't available.

Ruthie mentioned in an interview just before Christmas that she was doing the next series.

Ruthie is there to give a performer's perspective.

Asking what she knows about ice skating is the same as asking what Cheryl Cole is doing commenting on other people's singing. She is there to give the perspective of a former talent show contestant who has been lucky enough to go on to be successful.
