i cant ruthie

The sent the other judge back to Russia because her English was appalling. I have no problem with Ruthie, her and Jason are there to score the performance rather than the skating. I just wish they would remind the monkey'sin the audience of that.

Dear Buddha, please send me a pony and a plastic rocket.

Jason is a judge and he is not a skater either. He and Ruthie are there to judge the performance!



Cats rule, dogs drool!

I notice the studio audience are starting to react to her.
When they were announced at the start of the show, there were audible boos for her.

I understand that she's judging performance. But she's so fatuous about it.
She states the breathtakingly obvious - "You've got to control your nerves" etc.
She's just repeating what the coaching staff are telling them everyday. It's hardly constructive.

And what was she about voting to save Todd tonight, for his "performance".
For a start he's an actor. But what I saw wasn't acting - he was hamming it up, big time.
She had scored Ellery's performance higher than Todd's in the first instance and as neither of them improved on their earlier performance, she should have voted to save Ellery.

Seriously. I don't see the point of her on the panel at all.
I think if they must have a 5th judge, why not a previous contestant?
That would bring a different perspective to the judging panel and would be someone who could empathise with the contestants.
