I can't believe that Coleen has gone through again, roxanne skated a lot better tonight but lost the popularity vote.

Agree with you Ann (see reply on another thread) I thought Roxanne was great tonight.

l'm with you there Ann re: Colleen..... l think the programme is becoming abit of a farce, it puts me off watching it now:o((

jude

Yes i agree with you Ann
i watch it every sunday and i find like Jude it's becomming a farce
cos people are'nt voting for the skating ability .but for
the person ... i know Coleen is well liked, but her skating is not up to the others .

Its becoming a bit of a joke now, like Strictly, the better ones are being kicked off first! Colleen is in the quarter finals now........... something not quite right there methinks

Maybe it is time she appealed to her supporters to vote for the best skater. Roxanne was very gracious about going out and she is in the show that will follow but it is sad that she should try so hard, and she had improved, only to go out. it could equally well have been Ray.

It is all about money though, the more votes for Coleen, the more money for ITV. (Or is it going to charity?)

Ann

Why on earth is Colleen still in??????
It must be all these voters who like her on Loose Women,,,,so its nothing to do with skating at all?
Its a farce...she should retire like John Sergeant did,

I quite like Coleen (as a person) and have mentally urged her on but must agree that she should have gone out this week, in fact I did think she should have gone out last week and not Melinda. I was not surprised that Roxy was in the skate-off as for some unknown reason at least a couple of panel members make it damned obvious they don't like her !! However, I was surprised Zoe was in the skate-off. I enjoyed her routine although I didn't consider it worthy of a 6, but the public don't really seem to be fully behind her. I don't know why but must say here that she irritates me personally - she seems so full of herself but then others would describe that as a bubbly personality. There must be something as she certainly didn't deserve a place in the skate-off. I can't see Coleen lasting any longer regardless of how many Loose Women supporters she has. People who have been voting for those now gone will presumably transfer their votes to their 'second choice' and hopefully we will end up with the best three skaters in at the end.

I hope that you are right margaret, I too like Coleen as a person but hope she goes out next week.

Well, an interesting evening on ice tonight. Ray his magnificent best as usual, ruthie being over-generous to Zoe - as usual, Jessica giving a competent showing, Donal very good but I thought a bit hesitant at times and Coleen doing her best skate of the series albeit WITHOUT the compulsory unassisted jump !! Having said that Zoe's jump was barely a jump but she still got high marks. Much as I admire her determination and resilience, I still maintain Coleen's time has come but I am not sure who should be in the skate-off with her. It's all in the lap of the Gods - or should I say the British Public !!

Fingers crossed that the public see sense. yes Coleen did very well tonight and her arm must have been painful but she really ought to go out. I think it may be Donal in the skate off and i hope Coleen will be with him.

I was pleased to see that Colleen had improved tonight and that even Jason paid her some compliments. I think she should go out tonight because there is no comparison between her and the others. Not sure who I think should be in the skate off with her possibly Donal or Zoe.
Ruthie is really getting on my nerves with her biased marking - it is easy to tell who are her favourites, and she even had the nerve to disagree with Robin tonight.

Anyway, we will have to wait and see what happens later!

Frances

i want ray to go what ashow of! lol

Cant believe Coleen has been kept.Got the sympathy vote or fixed. annie

Words fail me.... well nearly !! Coleen through again. Much as I found Zoe irritating and 'full of herself' she was a much better skater than Coleen. It really should have been coleen and Zoe in the skate-off with Zoe saved. Ah well, that's life I suppose. I bet Ruthie's choked !!!!!!!

I thought ray was really good tonight, I did think he was cocky to start with but I think that is a bit of nerves showing through. he is a really great skater now. No way should Coleen have gone through and Zoe gone out but, unless they change the rules that is what will happen. Not a skating contest but a popularity contest, makes a bit of a mockery of it really.

Oh yes, even then Ruthie voted for Zoe against all the other judges.

I think that Ray is naturally talented and it is a sheer joy to watch his partnership with Maria.

Donal has improved week by week and I enjoy watching him and Florentyna also.

Colleen's not still in is she????
Surely she must realise that its not because of her skating skills....How many more weeks have we got to watch her being dragged around the ice by a partner half her size..What a joke,,

Coleen should have gone,weeks ago.
My OH thinks they same as Stray...Ray is a show off. He is good though.
