Of course it's a popularity contest, if it wasn't it wouldn't be on TV, it'd just be a dancing on ice competition. But it's a television programme, which immediately means viewers pick favourites, and since its all done impersonally (i.e. through a television) they pick those they "like" over talent. It's happened throughout time with TV programmes like this.

You're probably right I am being patronising but it is the truth. And sometime the truth hurts.
It's not a popularity contest, it a dancing on ice competition. That is why it is called " Dancing on Ice' and not "Vote for the most popular failed Celebrity on Ice". It's a talent show. It is billed as a talent show. But the British public just don't understand.
