Judges Comments
ASHLEY ROBERTS: You are so good, you are jumping and flying and swinging and changing ways.
KAREN BARBER: It is still looking promising for you out there. It was amazing. Never have we had so much content, changes of direction, a little of the edge work is a little scratchy but I thought it was amazing.
JASON GARDINER: What I love about you Ray is that now you are blurring the lines between the pro and the celeb. I canโt fault you, it is delivered with such panache. Everything you do is so awe inspiring. I forget you are on ice.
NICKY SLATER: I think if I had been here from the start of the series I might have been warmed up to a ten but I saw six jumps here, it was a little scratchy and it could have been faster. The last two jumps in particular that was really strong. It was a fantastic performance but it wasnโt perfect yet.
