Dancing On Ice - Week 2
Okay, Fred has described this week’s opener as the girls being ‘sizzling hot’ and Frankie says she is ‘feeling spicy’ (so it’s either raunchy or Spice Girls themed??!) so I have high hopes for this routine!
The opener
EEEEEE, shades! And I was right, Spice Girls!
It can’t be easy to skate in shades.
Ooooh, funky twirl thing for Jayne
And funky double death spiral thing!
I’ve seen Frankie’s outfit before with Chris last year (I feel it’s connected with Ricky Martin… and the ‘incident’ on tour)
No Kristina though :o(
Heeee, funky routine!
I think I’ll have to re-watch it lots to notice everything!
Pre show ramblings
Coleen’s probably the weakest skater (from what I’ve heard) but is very popular…. I have NO idea how this week will go. The girls all seem good!
Is Jayne losing her voice AGAIN??
Oh Donal, wax your chest!
Shiny purple, I like it!
OMG I correctly predicted the order of the first 3 girls! Make that 4. OMG make that all 6!!! Scary. (I pre-write all the names below ready for comments then reorder then when I know what order they’re skating in).
Zoe looks a mess. Did she get to make her own outfit, Blue Peter style?
Haha, they didn’t make Mel wear the horrific yellow dress from last year, even though Michael had the matching shirt.
Hello silver glitter bra paint on Jessica!
OMG Todd can’t even stop!! Get him off the show. I don’t care that he’s not competing this week - HE MUST GO!
[adverts]
A little too much blusher, Ruthie?
Roxanne and Daniel - Take a Bow (Rihanna)
[T] I think I like Roxanne. And I realised this week she’s from Cumbria, so that’s an even better plus!
I will not be defeated! That’s my phrase!
Linda and Emily would have fallen more if they’d ever let go of Dan.
[S] Lacking in confidence but a good, clean routine! Just a little slow maybe. Some nice acting though, and the timing of the action.
Couldn’t we have had Fred in white trousers instead of Dan?
[J] [15] Reasonable. And fair I think.
Melinda and Fred - Love Song (Sara Bareilles)
[T] I think I like Melinda too. And she’s with Fred, so… bonus.
[S] Why does Fred always have evil back crossrolls in his routines? I’m trying to prove they’re pointless!
I liked that. Needs some work, as you’d expect, but it was good! One bit on one foot seemed a bit lacking and fillerish, but a minor point.
[J] [15.5] About right. Could have been 16 maybe.
Fred’s all shiny. *calls* Make up!
Maybe Ruthie will kill Jason.
Awww, Suzanne in the audience.
Hehe, I love Frankie!
[adverts]
Awwww Graeme in the audience.
Coleen and Stuart - Dream a Little Dream (Not sure whose version… Mama Cass??)
[T] Stuart’s so helpful… Never!
[S] What’s with the green skirt?
Oops, stumble. Not bad but I bet she’ll get a comment about Stuart pulling/pushing her round the ice.
[J] [12.5] Crying already?! So much higher than Todd!
The Boys
Has Mel’s hair got redder again?
*giggles at Frankie*
Has Ray wet himself? Damp patch!
Todd really needs more practice. He’s so far behind the others. Though really he could just leave.
Zoe and Matt - I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Whitney Houston)
[T] I haven’t yet warmed to Zoe, but Matt is great. So we shall see…
Has Matt had a haircut despite all our love for the hair?! No, it’s okay. Just a little snip maybe.
Matt hug!!
[S] Weird camera work.
A bit wobbly in the middle but the best so far tonight, definitely.
Tsk, I already made the Blue Peter comment up there ^^ Slooooooooow!
[J] [18.5] Yup, the judges agreed with my comments.
How can she keep her eyes open under that makeup?!
[adverts]
Gemma and Andrei - The Power of Love (Jennifer Rush)
[T] Not sure about Gemma. No reason to like her yet!
Ewwww, Aggie’s vile silver and gold outfit!
Ooof, fall!
You tell her Andrei!
[S]Should Andrei not be in pink too? That was okay. Lots of lifts.
[J][13] Wow, that’s low. I expected more from her.
She looks like she might cry from the stress!
Jessica and Pavel - La Isla Bonita (Madonna)
[T] Right, she’s done a skating thing before, so she should be good…
Yay, Pavlov!
I want a Pavlov hug!
[S] Wooooo, that was really good! And she wasn’t depending on Pav the whole time. Gotta be highest tonight.
[J][21] OMG crazy score!
Yes, YOU’RE Nicky. Silly boy.
I’m not quite so invested in tonight with the male pros, but want Fred and Matt to stay please.
The Skate Off
Awwww, Matt looks so cute in the lineup!
Recap and Backstage Bits
Fred’s been powdered!
Stuart’s all legs!
Matt can lay off the tan for a while… he’s about right now, but any more and he’ll be orange.
Ugh, I didn’t notice the back crosscuts (?) by Jessica before. Damn them!
Boys’ Chat
The expected mutterings about the girls being better. Yes Todd, you’re right to look worried.
Judges
Blah blah
Results
Coleen’s safe, as predicted.
Jessica’s safe - had to be with those scores
*chants* Mattmattmattmatt!
YES! Zoe and Matt are safe.
Why does he draw it out every week? We KNOW you won’t narrow 3 down to 2 til after the ads Phil, so get on with it.
[adverts]
Come on, save Fred!
Noooooo, Roxanne and Dan.
Melinda & Fred vs Gemma & Andrei.
Melinda you really have to pull out all the stops, we can’t lose Fred. He’ll get upset about going out in week 1 (for him) again!
Melinda and Fred - Okay, that was good. Please let Gemma screw up.
Gemma and Andrei - Oh no, no stumbles.
I fear they’re gonna save Gemma. Unless Jason and Ruthie didn’t like her lines.
NO no no no no no no no.
Ugh, tears. And she’s very annoying.
Karen - YES! Melinda.
Nicky - YES!!!
OMG come on….
Jason - YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Safe.
Ruthie - Melinda
Robin - Melinda!
Clean Sweep!
OMG that was stressful. Can we stop Gemma talking now please?
