He made an attempt at an apology but then spoilt it. Yes I agree it is a show but even Simon and Louis don't stoop as low as him, Jason just goes too far and he doesn't even know anything about ice skating. Perhaps he should do what Craig Revel-Horwood has done and actually ice skate with one of the contestants

sometimes he goes to far but most of the time he is honest.. If he was off the show we would just have Celeb pandering... even Emma does it (actually she does it the most).. she gushes all over them and then says Oh just one little thing and then berates them... I rather have honesty than a loved up fest.. maybe someone in the middle..
Simon Cowell is famous for been nasty and he has come out with callous remarks to people.. but as they are ordinary people it doesn't matter...

I quite agree but we seem to be in the minority. Karen sticks up for Johnson far more than anyone else, and she shouldn't give him special treatment. Also I think Karen should keep out of it as she isn't a judge. Hope we don't lose Jason over this...

The way I saw it too. Teacher's pet spring's to mind! I actually felt a bit sorry for Kerry ( although I'm not keen on her ) for the criticism all 3 judges gave her, and no-one stuck up for her!

I didn't feel sorry for her at all.. as Philip said, she has coined a new DOI phrase "I can't do it".... but yes I get what you mean.. nobody stuck up for her and they were worse on her than they were on Johnston

Karen Barber could be brought back onto the judging panel of Dancing On Ice, according to sources.
Former judge Barber currently serves as the contestants' head coach on the ITV reality show, but hit the headlines recently for her exchange with Jason Gardiner, in which the Australian judge snapped: "If your opinion still mattered, Karen, you would still be on the judging panel."
It has now been reported that producers are discussing whether to move Barber back to the panel in an effort to incorporate more professional skaters in the judging lineup and to allow her the opportunity to have as great a say in the competition as Gardiner.
An insider told The Mirror: "Many people were upset by what Jason said and Karen was devastated. He made her sound like she was worthless on the show and that couldn't be further from the truth.
"The reason Karen was moved off the panel was to free her up to spend more time with the skaters, giving them expert tips and tuition. She is brilliant at what she does and Jason's comments last Sunday upset not just Karen but a lot of the cast, the crew and producers.
"This week, there have been talks about giving Karen back her slot on the panel. As well as allowing her to respond to Jason more directly, it would also mean that the judging panel had more actual skating experts on board.
"It would be a kind of victory for Karen in her row with Jason, but also for the majority of viewers, who seem to be on her side and really value her opinion."
It is thought that Barber's current role would prevent any restructuring taking place this series, but producers are apparently keen to make the change for next year's run.
An ITV spokesman said: "We are concentrating on the current series and have made no final decisions about Dancing On Ice in 2012."

I think they made the right decision removing her from the panel.

Dancing On Ices heavily- publicised romance between favourite Sam Attwater and partner Brianne Delcourt is exposed by The People today as a SHAM.
We witnessed the former EastEnders star passionately kissing ANOTHER of the shows skaters, married Alexandra Schauman, while his girlfriend Brianne looked on unconcerned.
Bosses of the top-rated ITV show will be furious especially as tonights episode features recorded footage of Sam, 24, and Brianne, 30, enjoying a pre-Valentine romantic day out.
The pair who have cashed-in on their relationship with a series of magazine interviews are also due to woo viewers tonight by skating while dressed as a bride and groom.
And the Dancing On Ice website shows a picture of the couple taken for a magazine last week in bed together.
The ITV website gushed yesterday: Its just too exciting. Sam and Brianne have confirmed they are a couple.
But our revelation will lead to claims that millions of viewers who pay at least 35p for each phone vote have been falsely won over by a bogus love-story.
One show insider said yesterday: Everyone is shocked by the news. Sam and Brianne's romance has been one of the main focal points of this series.
The fact that Sam is apparently interested in another dancer only makes matters worse.
Now the big worry at ITV is that many Dancing On Ice followers will feel slightly cheated by all of this.
On Thursday night Sam and Alexandra, 30 who partners former cricket star Dominic Cork, 39 were openly kissing outside The Magpie pub near Shepperton Studios in Surrey where Dancing On Ice is filmed.
And shockingly, Brianne watched the action without any apparent concern.
One onlooker said: It was incredible to see Briannes reaction to Sam and Alexandras open affection.
It's not the way you'd expect anyone who was meant to be involved in a relationship with Sam to behave.
Sam and Brianne who has said in an interview: We clicked instantly, we love each other to bits had earlier spent the afternoon filming in London for tonights show.
The People looked on as Sam handed Brianne red roses at the Tate Modern museum. But romance seemed to be lacking and Sam only gave the blonde a peck on the cheek and hugged her.
At 8.30pm they were picked up by car from the Oxo Tower bar and driven to the Magpie pub in Walton, Surrey.
And later that night we watched as Sams real interest became apparent.
He popped out of the pub with Finnish beauty Alexandra, 30, who is married to another of the shows pro skaters, Lukasz Rozycki. Sam then cuddled Alexandra and gave her a long full-on kiss in public totally unlike the way he kissed Brianne earlier.
Two minutes later Brianne walked out to join them and watched unmoved as Sam and Alexandra gazed into each others eyes.
A startled onlooker said: Brianne didn't seem at all shocked. It was like she was in on the whole thing.
All three returned inside but at midnight Sam and Alexandra once again walked out. This time they kissed and hugged for two minutes. Brianne joined them again and the trio smoked cigarettes.
Afterwards, in front of Brianne, Sam sat on a plant tub with Alexandra on his lap.
He fondly touched her bottom while Brianne leaned against the pub door.
The trio went back inside five minutes later. At 12.35am, Sam and Alexandra emerged once again and shared another intimate moment.
Brianne came out and the three got into a waiting taxi. Alexandra was dropped off at the house she shares with Polish husband Lukasz, 31.
Sam and Brianne were driven to a block of flats nearby.
Only two weeks ago, show host Phillip Schofield asked live on air whether the pair were in a relationship.
They looked red-faced and laughed, to which Schofield said: I'll take that as a yes then.
But The Peoples suspicions about the romance were raised around the same time. A reporter at Brianne's 30th birthday party at London's Sanctum hotel noticed the couple barely uttered a word to each other all night.
But as soon as they stepped outside where photographers were waiting, they suddenly became all lovey-dovey.
Our revelations will leave Alexandra with much explaining to do to her husband, who partners ex-soccer WAG Elen Rivas, 36, on the show.
On Friday Alexandra and Lukasz strolled from their home in Walton, Surrey. They went for a coffee before separating. Alexandra walked home alone, clutching the magazine in which Sam and Brianne talk of romance.
Last night a show insider told The People: ITV will be furious if Sam and Brianne have alluded to being in a relationship and theyre not.
When Alexandra was asked about kissing Sam she said: We had a few drinks, we were being silly. Lukasz said: I don't know anything about it.

All these " romances " are confusing. I would say Sam and Alexandra were just messing about.
