I'll really miss her. Donal should've gone by right, even tho he's my player in the sweepstake hehe.

I think I'll support Zoe now.

[beanny]

Going to miss Melinda but she was obviously going over Jessica!
Still supporting Coleen and Ray!

Hopefully the Donal will go next week followed by Roxanne.

As i posted for SCD (because DOI has the same 50% judge 50% vote) here is something that was posted on DS which is a tally of how the scores actually affected the public vote tonight and why Jess was in the bottom 2.

The 1st number is the score from the judges, the 2nd is the public vote score and the last number is the total (kind of saying who was in the bottom 2 with combined score)

RAY 7 3 10
JESSICA 6 1 7
ZOE 5 7 12
ROXANNE 4 4 8
MELINDA 3 2 5
DONAL 2 5 7
COLEEN 1 6 7

So this means that Zoe would be polling the most votes, with Colleen 2nd and Donal 3rd, so this is obviously based on likeability, Ray and Jess arent popular with the public according to this.

Edit- Wait it works one other way and its if you swap round Zoe and Ray(Zoe having 3 for public vote and Ray getting 7) but i feel that Zoe gets more public votes from the public, as Ray apparently is seen as too "arrogant" to be likeable,i dont think Ray is getting the most votes... so I still think its the one poosted above.

I don't think DoI use the ranking system SCD use - I think they add the judges score together to give a percentage from that (so Jessica's would have been 24.5/(Total of all scores), then add the voting percentage.

However, they've never explained this and there are numerous ways the results could be combined, resulting in numerous possible outcomes.

It is the SCD ranking system- it was explained on the ITV2 show a few years ago when they used to do that

Well you'd have thought after the controversy last year when the inevitable happened on SCD they'd have dropped it.

Considering the ridiculous disclaimers they now have on competitions you would think they'd be much clearer about the combined voting process - at the very least having a page online to explain it all. The actual T&Cs don't expand on the 50/50 system at all - they just say in the event of a tie, the viewer vote "in general" takes precedence:

P.S. Good to see the Ice Star thing back - I was thinking that had been quietly dropped in the hope we'd all forgotten about it from last year. Would have been better though to show this before the Skate Off results, which not only would mean lines could stay open for the first 15 minutes of the show, but would also give the show a much better structure too.

Thing is, Jessica is the second best skater, after the pro, Eddie Munster.. So the judges should keep saving her.

[SammyAyee]

ray was great .
melinda and jess shouldn't have been in the skate off. it should have been coleen and donnal.but i'm glad melinda went she didn't stand a chance against jess.
