January 7, 20187 yr Author Poor Candice, I don't think she was THAT bad, but I knew she'd be in danger of the skate off before this even started because people just don't seem to like her :( Her and Stephanie are my two fave celebs from the whole line-up yet I'd have said Stephanie or Antony for skate off based on the routine. I think Candice had it harder with a slow routine,you have to think about all the grace and poise a bit more whereas I feel like on both this and Strictly it's a bit easier to cover it up with some energy. She shold have gotten more than 13 anyway. Perri was the best for me alongside Jake. Kem was better than I expected, I thought he'd get like 10 yet the Love Island hype would see him through for weeks, but I can't be bothered with how thick he is, it's not amusing at all... The show itself was ok, didn't drag as much as I thought it might but it didn't feel hugely exciting. I guess it never did though, it's just nice to have some light nice Sunday viewing that always conincides with having your tea and just wanting to sit and watch TV of an evening. It just felt a tad cold compared to how it used to, Torville and Dean seem like such awful judges, I'll let them settle in a bit but they seemed so bland and pointless, and suited coaching better. They seemed to have very little to say about anything despite being by far the most qualified to do so, Ashley Banjo wasn't much better either. I miss the snarky digs between Jason and Karen :lol:
January 8, 20187 yr Strong viewers, it will be interesting to see how much of these viewers they can sustain.
January 11, 20187 yr Author The commentator has quit after just one show :lol: Apparently he "couldn't make it work with his diary" but it probably has something to do with the fact that many fans thought he was a huge reason why the show felt a bit off :lol:

He really is like that all the time, off putting for the racing viewer. Who would you get to replace him?
January 14, 20187 yr Author Ridiculous first elimination, even Torville and Dean said that Candice had a better skate off despite voting her off... What's the point of performing again as the bottom 2 when you're just gonna overlook it? Christ they are awful judges. Max was brilliant, really liked Donna and Alex too. Disappointed in Brooke but I think she's likable and known enough to get through a couple of times til she improves.
January 14, 20187 yr I like Dean but Torvill has been really disappointing :( The right decision tbh, Lemar had a much harder job having had literally a few minutes to be able to focus on the skate off while Candice a whole week (they should've just done their earlier routines) but even beyond that he skated much better and wasn't just dragged about.
January 21, 20187 yr I thought last week was right but that was just ridiculous :/ Stephanie shouldn't have been there at all (bloody Anthony :')) after improving so much but in the skate off he stumbled badly and STILL got through, I think they should just put it to the public vote instead of having a head judge. Jayne and Chris gave the same scores for almost everything as well :lol: He did the same skate off routine as last week as well so that gives him an edge already :/
January 21, 20187 yr Author Yeah this is just cementing that T&D don't work as judges. I get that they are looking at the ice skating side and Ashley and Jason are the performance side but I'm fed up of hearing about "moving over the ice", i know it's ice skating and that's important but there is NOTHING entertaining in people skating across the rink. I think it was better than they were choreographers because the routines had a bit more to them, with the pros choreographing it feels much more limp. You can see the technical improvement in a lot of them but the majority feel so limp and passionless however good they are at skating from one spot to the other or whatever. I'm not saying that Steph and Candice were Hayley Tammadon level queens of the ice but they both improved a lot (Candice from first week to skate off and Steph from first week to this week) and seemed ready and willing to do whatever to work on what the judges had said. Lemar did the SAME routine as last week, and was still worse than Steph. The fact Torville and Dean both said Candice had a better skate-ff routine last week but still voted her off, and this time they saved Lemar who stumbled makes a mockery of even having a skate-off. As they do stringently on Strictly, it should come down to the skate-off alone, if they've essentially made their mind up without the skate-off routine, why bother even having that chance to save yourself?
January 29, 20187 yr Author This is an absolute joke now, Lemar skating the same Grenade routine AGAIN :rofl: f*** me, no wonder he beat Perri there, feels like he's done it more times than Torville & Dean have done Bolero :lol:
January 29, 20187 yr Apparently they all only have one save me skate and they add more to it each week (or time they are in the bottom). I’m over it.
March 11, 20187 yr Author Jake won in week 1, which is part of why this series was a bit limp :lol: It's been so obvious the whole time.
March 11, 20187 yr I have enjoyed the series and am delighted for Jake. Was a bit disappointed there was no scoring tonight but bar that i enjoyed it and the right person won.
March 11, 20187 yr Jake has been the highlight every time I have tuned in so a worthy winner for sure!
