Dancing on Ice...the lighthearted thread!

[FuzzyPuffling]

Here we are!

I asked on the last thread but it got lost in the midst of Gemma-gate and that rather overinvested Mnetter ...Does anyone know why they have to do a random skate-off routine as opposed to repeating their routine from the main show a la Strictly?

Didi’s got a few years on me and I wouldn’t fancy risking my bones on that ice.

Anyone else think Gemma is setting up to quit due to injury?

Bye bye Didi.

Well done Octo! (& Fuzzy)

Well done Octo. Good call, my eight legged (tentacled) friend.

Didi probably didn't really expect to stay this long, really.

I’m interested to know the answer too, Gareth. I would have liked to see Didi’s original routine again. Although her stomach muscles might have done enough work for tonight.

We'll not hear the last of Gemma and her injury all next week.

Didi is so gracious.

Scream that wouldn't surprise me.

I'm not sure why Gareth.

For variety?

Don't say that Screamqueenz the papers would have nothing to write about.

Well that's it for another week, my icy chums!

Thank you everyone. I'm off to BBC1. See you all next week.

Well that was all rather enjoyable! Thanks one and all!

Right, I’m off to find something substantial to eat. I hope you didn’t get through ALL that booze on your own iklboo....

👋👋👋

See you next week. Hope my shopping arrives soon before I starve to death.

I'm off to Cull the Midwife.

That's a bit extreme, Fuzzy

Poor midwife

Myimaginarycathasfleas and Tinsel -

I like the variety but what happens with the couples not in the skate off? Do they get to keep their skate off routine up their sleeve or do they have to learn a new one (with new music) every week? Because whoever gets saved (like Saara tonight) would surely have to learn a new skate-off routine in case she's in next week's skate-off? And on and on if she was unfortunate enough to be nominated week in, week out!

My other bugbear was that I'd rather the couples put everything into their main routine to produce more consistent results. Especially in the early weeks when they're learning and struggling with taxing lifts and footwork! I'd rather watch one well-executed routine than two wobbly ones

I think they keep the same skate off routine.

I think they keep the same 'save me' routine all series. They can alter it though as they improve. What a faff.

last year , iirc, the skate off dance was the same every week- because didn't we get very familiar Lemar's routine?

It does seem strange not to repeat the dance you have just done though.

Well the midwives seem to change week after week, and I don't know what happens to them, so I am assuming the worst.
Midwife burger anyone?
