Dancing on ice 2011 jason gardiner vs karen barber Fight.

[@scarletteloise2737]

I’m fine with him being the ‘villain’ but the difference between him and say Craig on Strictly is that he crosses the line and says things that are genuinely hurtful to other people. It seems as though he gets genuinely angry if you don’t agree with his opinion.

[@theresenydahl9531]

I totally agree with you, well said!

[@aaronwilkins1843]

No the difference is Craig does know what great dancing is and used to dance to a good level himself whereas Jason could never skate

[@BossySwan]

Jason had a disaster dahling

[@leahsbullshitcorner5814]

Scarlett Eloise craig is a genuine sweetheart, and is cruel to be kind, but i agree with you, jason crosses the line

[@MHTrains]

It’s clearly a Disaaaster

[@scarletteloise2737]

Call Karen sensitive all you like, but that comment overstepped the boundary.

[@ReginaldForman]

wizardmongeau did that comment over step the boundary?

Jason Gardiner was a nasty toxic bully. I'm glad he got his comeuppance by Karen coming back to the panel and him being replaced by Louis Spence LOL!

[@rockie0708]

Euro-African but he came back again. And the entire show has always been shit.

[@Eurafrican]

***** yeah but at least there was a year in between where he rightfully went back to obscurity and he permanently is now that the show's been cancelled LOL! #Kharma

[@rockie0708]

Euro-African that's true. I can't stand that Jason, he's a horrible person. He is fake and a bitch.

[@ColinSmith11]

Robin is just sitting there saying "lets not go there" hahaha

[@Amiie0x]

@surethom She's passionate. She cares about the contestants, she's there through the journey and the hard work, hence why she gets emotional!

[@bpoleary1]

I'd actually love to see him on the same panel as Len Goodman. Len would absolutely destroy Jason whenever he says things that are nasty or offensive.

[@sawsy100]

I thought Karen was gonna slap him across the face. XD To be honest, he has to be strict so that the contestants will get better but I think he's too mean.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

+Hev i wouldn't blame Karen if she ever wanted to do that sometimes

[@cartoonducksandsport]

Jason is an actor or something and Emma is a singer!What are they doing there? Robin is the only one who actually knows anything about iceskating!

[@hairgeek95]

Karen is a skater also

[@spinout3]

thank god jason gardiner is a judge on this show. he gives a true opinion no matter who the celeb is. (never heard of some of them) karen barber knew she was going to have the audience behind her for defending a war hero... (does being in the army make you a celeb now?)... i mean, i am not knocking the troops that risk their lives for others...but being in the army does not make you a celebrity...

[@onedaylikethis]

Now I like Karen. But I also like Jason and his wonderful hat collection. But which is better? There's only one way to find out..... FIGHT!!!! This was tv gold :D

[@MrSoggydong]

I find it amazing how a few comments has made the show alot better

[@MsLKSF]

Firstly, WHY IS SHE CRYING ??? jason is right, she does get too emotionally involved. Its only an entertainment show its not the end of the world !!!! Jason was out of line to say what he said but Karen was so childish and unprofessional to confront him like that on live tv ! even when Jason was apologising in the results show, she was sitting there like a spoiled brat ! Seriously keep the arguments for behind the scenes !!!

[@thepowerofyourtrueself4794]

He was not acting professionally either to make that sort of comment that was from the place of his ego, as he was angry that someone challenged his opinion, I am just saying it was not just Karen. Best wishes

[@ellenmurray4544]

Jason is nasty makes Simon Cowell look like a fairy. I like him though, makes for good viewing lol

[@lilmissfruit]

The thing i'm most shocked by is that people still watch this show!

[@ellenkingsley]

Was it because of this argument that Jason Gardiner got fired from DOI

[@chilled87]

Why did Karen have to get involved? Jason said his opinion and said he would like him to get better and better I dont see why she had to get involved???

[@kylebaird7851]

It's funny that jason yet again has caused the same thing again in 2019 version with Gemma Collins and nothing has changed at all what people are saying about him is right he deserves a slap he needs to be off the show for good

[@SeanParkerGaming]

I actually respect Jason Gardiner for the comments he made yesterday and my reason for saying this is 'I have watched Dancing On Ice for several weeks now & Karen Barber always seems to belittle him after he passes comment. That's just my opinion.

[@emilysgottalent4806]

The way I see it Jason is just so full of passion and discipline, when you go to a dance contest or an academy you're going to get teachers or judges like him

[@HostageK1ll3r]

Jason Gardiner, a poor man's Simon Cowell.

[@HisNameWasCrazy]

You call that a fight?!

[@newcamnoddy]

I’m fine with comments being honest..but Jason dies have a nasty edge and goes too far and thinks he’s invincible..well done Karen for asking him the part about being on the panel...again I appreciate his opinions..and for entertaining ITV will always have him on to create media interest..but he just doesn’t like Karen..a bit unprofessional to display that...I’ve had an Area Manger done that the past..very poor display of character in public..bullying is the word actually

[@brendansmith3851]

Stopped watching the show when he left. Hilarious 😆

[@biteme9371]

He's such a horrible, nasty, toxic person. He always ruined the show for me. There's no entertainment in seeing a bully lord it over people. I could never stand him.

[@surethom]

Karen does get over emotional, but then Jason went a bit to far.

[@drasonmeerrkat2617]

Whether Jason Gardiner has a brain has baffled the medical profession for years

[@002lisamarie]

Lol !

[@GHANA2000023]

Jason should be slapped for what he said to Karen. He had no right to say it.

[@generaLRager]

Its like Strictly Come Dancing, Craig is boo'd all the time but his comments are 100% accurate. If the judges kissed the asses of everyone who entered then they'd all reach the final. The show is suppose to be about who is the best dancer not who is the most popular. If your not good enough to make the final then you shouldnt be there and its down to the judges to say as much. Craig and Jason are the only 2 judges who actually judge based on ability and not popularity.

[@benfarmer-webb1016]

I'm fine with Jason being the pants villain cause every panel needs one. It's when he goes too far and starts telling others their opinion doesn't matter.

[@generaLRager]

She was saying the same thing though, that his opinion on this was wrong, its the same outcome she just worded it nicer than he did that's all. He gave his verdict and then said why he gave that verdict, she didn't accept that but that's not her position to say that, she isn't on the judging panel, he is. I do agree he went too far with how he worded what he said to her, but please lets not play the victim card and cry about words. Take what the judges have to say and improve on it, if they are judging the outcomes and not Karen then the contestants should be listening to the judges who say "you aren't quite there, you need to do x, y, z" having someone like Karen saying "you are doing amazing, well done" and providing no critical feedback means he will peak and not improve.

[@scarletteloise2737]

generaLRager the difference is that Craig seems genuinely nice underneath. Jason seems genuinely arrogant.

[@generaLRager]

.. this country but that doesnt mean people should give him sympathy, im pretty sure he'd want to be treated just like everyone else and not be given special treatment. - Dont take this the wrong way, Soldiers who give their lives for this country should be honored but they shouldnt be put on a show like this and be given that special treatment. Jason is 100% correct, the other 2 judges should be the same as him and not just ass kissing those they like.

[@davidfearis7335]

What I don't get is why they allowed Emma Bunton on the panel she hasn't even attempted this show before so what does she know

[@barryxf]

Imo Jason is on the panel as his outspoken comments boost ratings, just as Craig Revel Horwood on Strictly, Simon Cowell on XF and BGT (although Simon isn't really all that bad)....and Ann Robinson on Weakest Link. The 'nasty' judges can be just as entertaining as the acts themselves and always boost ratings which in turn boost revenue for TV shows in terms of phone votes.

[@weeny76]

Jason is right, I would rather someone told the contestants the truth instead of telling them they "have been on an incredible journey".

[@generaLRager]

People can say what they like, now i dont actually watch the show but i've seen the odd dance and from what Jason says he's pretty much 100% on most things, the difference is HE is the only one who will tell the dancers the truth. They are there to Dance on Ice, if they arent performing or improving then why shouldnt they get told as much? So he's a Soldier, that doesnt make him GOD he's just the same as everyone else he shouldnt be treated any differently. He was injured whilst serving this..

[@Azoria4]

jason doesn't know much about skating but I agree with what he said to be honest... she's fine as their coach but why sit there each week and cry over them? she seems redundant... bit harsh to say it out loud though haha.

[@he32her]

Jason has no class, he's spoiled & cruel & should have known better than to throw cheap, spiteful remarks at a lady who endeavours to extract the best from her charges. However, he clearly believes in what he says, the caustic remarks make for 'good tv' hence his inclusion on the show. That said, the powers that be might do well to remember that the public do not like bullies and may decide to take their patronage elsewhere if his vicious comments are left unaddressed and a full apology not made

[@DukesFan01]

Jason just picks on everyone else because he has no talent whatsoever. All he can manage outside of DOI is that stupid fashion stuff on This Morning and even then he's not that good. He needs to be taken down a lot of pegs.

[@liamholmes9169]

Jason is such a good judge, he's only being honest with the skaters, and being constructive. and gives praise when it's due. some skaters arguing back is not the way. like Simon Cowell, Jason is the most honest judge. he gets a hard time but he was the best judge on the panel by far. He spiced things up and was entitled to his own opinion and not to be shouted down.

[@EJM659]

Totally agree! I stopped watching when he was no longer judging, it went really rubbish. I'd want to impress Jason the most out of all those judges because he's the one that is honest and says it as it is. I loved him

this is something that has been doomed to happen for along time but before he can be sacked he has to have the warnings to see if he can change his attitude, if after 3 he's still unchanged & rude then remove him don't forget craig revel hallwood is kinda the same on strictly

[@sassysoph9614]

jason is just so horrible, what does he know about skating anyway? Emma bunton and Jason should just be kicked off the show because they've never skated, Robin cousins on the other hand knows a lot about the sport and so does karen barber. so its really jasons opinion that doesnt matter. karen barber has a good heart but jason doesnt seem to have a heart at all.

[@SilverLining97]

Was that it! I thought it was like a big bust up. James is harsh, but you find there's I'd always that judge that treads lightly over the line between constructive criticism and rudeness. James's comments aren't always rude, but it's the audience that intensifies his comments which basically gives off the impression that he's a nasty piece of work.

[@benfarmer-webb1016]

It's Jason not James

[@percivaldrive]

his initial comments were probably fair, and the producers' motivations behind bringing this man on the show are questionable, clearly making bitchy remarks on live tv is not professional, but he is entitled to his professional opinion, they are probably as fake as each other, lets not forget this is a show designed to entertain rather than a professional ice skating competition

[@46Crazyk]
