John Barrowman in Dancing on Ice

[lindapinda]

John Barrowman has been voted out this week!! Anyone else gutted? I think the judges got it wrong this week.He might have had a weaker performance this week,but,he is undoubtedly,the better dancer.

[Peri]

Hi Linda - my favourite is out. I am not only gutted but totally enraged that Gaynor is still in. The judges haven t a clue. John should have won - did you see his face ?

[lindapinda]

Oh Peri-I'm just so mad honestly! I don't understand their decision at all. I was saying to my niece there,that I don't think I'll have the heart to watch it again...he put so much into his performances! He was the life and soul of the show.He was soo disapointed :-(

[Peri]

I know what you mean. He seems to be a person you would take to very easily. After coming top last week. But what are the judges like - they kept going on about Gaynor. What do you think of her or who do you think should go out.

[lindapinda]

Well I actually thought Gaynor was ok,I would probably have said it should have been Stephan. He just never seems to have any real heart about his performances. I think Gaynor always manages to do that.The actress in her,serves her well. Hubby has just come down from xboxing,and can't believe it either!

[Peri]

So who are you up for now ?

[Drisgirl]

I'm just not interested anymore.His Amarillo dance was brill and he put his heart and soul into everything.

Bonnie will be out next week as they appear to going in reverse order!!!

[littleoldme]

Dear me, you ladies do take this sort of thing seriously, don't you? :-)

Dunno why the hell I was watching it - reality TV? Involving celebrities?? Ice skating??? Eeek! - but watch it I did. I felt a bit sorry for David Seaman having to start again with a new partner after he broke his last one, but I found myself rooting for Dame Kelly. Not the best skater, certainly not the most elegant, but by cracky she's a feisty wench who doesn't stand any nonsense from the buck-toothed goon in the middle of the panel, Mr Predictable Ratings-Winning Nasty Judge (see Nigel Lythgoe, Simon Cowell etc).

I hope she eats him.

[Peri]

Drisgirl you are so right. And littleoldme you dont take it seriously at all. Do you? Im afraid Im not a fan of Kellys.

[lindapinda]

I would want Bonnie to win,but as I said before,my hearts not in it anymore! I just said to himself there,I'm just not going to watch it next week! We're watching The Pianist now,maybe talk later?

[maggie01]

I didn't see the voting but I am surprised he is out. He has been really good up untill today, when I think nerves kicked in. I thought he had a good chance of staying till the end. I think it will probably be Bonnie Langford who will win now.

[everworried]

Hi Gang,

Yep the world has gone mad??? I wont be watching anymore it seems a bit fixed now.

keep well

Well I guess that if the public don't pick the phone up to vote....then they don't get through. It's probably a case of "well they were good they'll be safe" (reminds me a bit of Maria in the Xfactor..tho I WON'T go into that <g>) John had a good score from the judges & certainly wasn't in the bottom...

I'd love to know how they calculate the public votes against the position they sit in at the end of the show.

Anywayyyyyy all that aside...I kinda like Gaynor & Sean...I know they aren't the best skaters...but I always prolly go for the underdog! (btw...I tried ice skating years ago...was fine going around the rink at speed looking like a demented windmill...but had to use the barrier to stop..or indeed anyone that looked big enough to stop me)

Hope the cat is well linda <g> (the jack lemmon film turning into a cat discussion if you had forgotten)

[lindapinda]

spikey!!..I knew your name was familiar !! Apart from my cat name that is!!..Looked back..oh yes!! Another film fan and cat person :-) Cheers Debs and Fang !! Appreciate the reply!

[zipadeedodah]

I'm so annoyed John went last night - he was lovely, and was one by far the best man in the competition! For some reason I just don't like Bonnie and not too keen on Kelly either. I like Gaynor and Stefan, but still think John should have won!

[Joe Shmoe]

What puzzles me is if three of the judges thought that Stefan was worth saving more than John why did they give him a much lower score in the first place? I think they are all doing great just to get on the ice. But I really thought that John was the most skillful Male contestant and thought he would win. How wrong was I?

[lindapinda]

Thanks for all the replies folks. Thats a good point Joe!! Some judges eh?

[matty2670]

I think John Barrowman was by far the best contestant. I think he should be on TV more and I'm glad Dr Who has boosted his career. He's actually getting his own Dr Who spin off show. In case you're interested, I'm a 37 year old man. And surprisingly, I'm not gay.

[PAWSABELLE]

I'm miffed that John went too, he was on GMTV this morning and wasn't too happy about it, although he did say that Jason was one of the most honest judges!

I like Stefan but don't think he's good enough to win, I don't want Kelly or Bonnie to win either, so will probably root for Gaynor or David.

[suzyq53]

Sorry, but I think you are wrong about Gaynor. She's got talent. If you are talking about the poorest skater, it should have been Kelly Holmes who went out. I'm certain she's only still in because the public feel sorry for her after Jason was so rude. I'm so angry because if Kelly had been voted into her rightful place as poorest skater ('cos let's be honest here, she's a great athlete, but she can't skate to save her life!) then she would have gone out and John and Stephan would both have gone on to skate another day.

[Joe Shmoe]

Exactly!
