Dancing on ice 2019

[sheepdog]

Since a thread hasn't been started yet....the contestants lined up for Dancing on Ice have been revealed during the last days. You might have missed with the ever so exciting Conservative Party Conference taking all the headlines but if you're like me, you probably don't care either.

Anyway:

(replace personal info with 20**Personal info**)

So next year you get to witness:

Gemma Collins: some sort of reality show regular who's claim to fame is being on a contrived reality show. so claiming the Z-lister status of the show. Quote "I don’t know how they’re going to lift me up and how fast I can move around the ice, but I really want to give it a go!". Somehow I don't think thats going to happen. 

Richard Blackwood: another celeb looking to remain on TV after leaving Eastenders. Apparently has played the role of Donkey in Shrek the musical. 

James Jordan: yes, the Mr Bad Attitude from Strictly has found a job! Big advantage but lets face it, everyone is only going to tune in to see him fall and fail. Then there's the potential showdowns with Jason adding to the tension....

Brian McFadden: has he got some book or record deal coming out soon? At least his appearance fee will cover his drving fine

Saira Khan: runner up of the Apprentice series one and probably its best success. I'll expect her to work hard and do very well as that's her nature.

Ryan Sidebottom: Cricketer apparently. Looks rather like Sean Walsh currently on Strictly so maybe nobody will notice if they swap....

Melody Thornton: another Pussycat Doll. Is there some sort of backstage agreement that there must be at least one PCD member on UK TV at any given time?

Joe Mangle Mark Little : Ah the ever popular Mark is back on UK TV. Serious rival to Todd Carty's legacy of comedy. Will he be better that Cheryl Baker from last year? We'll find out soon enough.

Jane Danson: Token Coronation Street entry. Cue lots of former Coronation Street videos wishing her good luck every single week and lets try not be surprised when they partner her with Dan Whiston (he's being creative director so may not be skating).

Obviously we'll be getting the obligatory Love Island entry at some point...

Apparently they've brought back Karen Barber as Head Coach so with James Jordan and Jason Gardiner involved this might be worth watching. Sadly ITV are sticking with The Gopher and Wannabe but who will they get for the commentator?

Saara and Hamish Beautiful routine much better than the first. Liked Saara's solo skate too. Better performance. Loved it and deserved the 38.0.

[Glory1]

Wes and Vanessa Good skate, nice performance but not great. He's done better. Scored about right. Something was missing.

Wes and Vanessa (Never too Much)

A good skate. Missed the double salchow. To be honest though, Vanessa undersold his performance ability. It's either too much or too little with him. Shame really

Scored 36.0

[Glory1]

Brian and Alex Okay skate but he's not on a par with James and Wes. Sorry overmarked in my opinion. Not that great a skate. But what do I know 

[Cleoriff]

Brian and Alex (Then I kissed her)

What a lovely routine. Stayed in character. Well done to him. Jason gave him 9.5 for his performance.

Having said that...he was overmarked really. He scored more than Wes, which is never right.

Scored 36.5

[Cleoriff]

James and Alex (Do You Love Me)

Absolutely bloody superb. Best skate of the night. I love that song.....

Wow just wow....

Scored 40.0.

[Glory1]

James and Alexandra Excellent, fantastic and I loved it. 4 10s again and so well deserved. He is de man!!!

Re the voting. Rather stupid that you can't vote again via the app?

[Glory1]

Well it should be James, Wes and Saara in the Final in my opinion. But what the public think.....?

I agree. You should have been able to vote after each of the group of dances, though I would have voted for James each time.
