Good question - poor Lemar who was in the skate off four times did Grenade (Bruno Mars) Grin 3 weeks in a row (from 2nd show onwards) and then took a week off then went out in the skate off week 6 reprising his skate from week 4.

Raahh · 27/01/2019 20:20

Oh yes, Grenade Grin

If I hadn't known the words before that, I soon did!

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 27/01/2019 20:20

As in, we gave him a week off, week 5 bless his cotton socks!

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 27/01/2019 20:24

Yep, reckon grenade gave Melody Le Moal flashbacks so she said I'm out this year!!
(not really, reckon Matej and Melody were given the boot because their choreo/teaching wasn't rated. Shame as I liked Matej, just not Brooke. Corrie vote always fierce though!)

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 27/01/2019 20:29

Part of me would like a furore about Gem's fall though and Didi's elimination just so we can have the tabloid headline WHAT A CONN!!!
Getting my coat Gemma's cape

next week x

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 27/01/2019 20:44

I seeeee! That's the exact situation I mean (Lemar - I didn't watch last year)

How rubbish!

I'm starting to really enjoy the show now. (Some of) the routines are getting more ambitious!

MarchInHappiness · 27/01/2019 20:45

How the fuck does Jane Danson always look so permanently happy Grin

MorningsEleven · 27/01/2019 20:53

How DARE they get rid of Didi? A plague of cockroach infested piles on the bumhole of everyone who put Gemma Collins through.

It's only Jayne and Chris skating that has calmed my inner godzilla.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 27/01/2019 20:53

Skates back in.
It was quite entertaining to be fair. The whole of the UK knew that routine really well by week four Grin Lemar was getting so good at it we were expecting triple salchows. As it was, he left doing the one routine I liked to Coldplay. Curse you Donna Air!* (in fairness he dropped Melody at the end then fell on top of her a la Ruth on Strictly. Awesome stuff)
Here you go. Sorry it's not Grenade.

BlessTheLemur #neverforget *One of the better skate off routines to Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time. Love that song and it was recently sung by Titus Burgess. Lovely. With that I am off for a Brew. Night x

Rage ahh, memories Grin

Hi everyone I've been following the threads this year and last but I'm usually watching the recording an hour or so behind. I would like to vote though.
Does anyone know if the app lets you know when voting is open?

My thoughts on having a separate skate off dance are I assume they want something that shows off their strengths rather than having to do the judges' element from that week or do a slow number when they are better at fast numbers for example.

oldowlgirl · 27/01/2019 22:27

I enjoyed tonight's show - I really like Gemma & most of the skaters but really not a fan of Saara at all. Wouldn't have minded if she had gone rather than Didi.

MinorRSole · 27/01/2019 22:52

I loved the T+D routine, they are so beautiful on the ice and the choice of song fitted beautifully too. Worth watching just for them!

I hate the headbanger, my nerves can't handle it. Poor Gemma, that looked sore. Jane did my least favourite routine but I still love her!

Honeyroar · 27/01/2019 23:23

Late to the party, but a fair result tonight. I thought Jane and Didi should have been in the skate off. I also don’t understand why Saara gets high marks. She holds a good pose while pushed or lifted around, and she skated a tad more on her own, but still🙄!! I thought Gemma tried hard tonight apart from her crashing fall. I’m sure she’s fine - I have a pair of boobs like hers and they’re like air bags when you fall flat on your face, believe me!

Good show last night! And all back as you were on here I see. CakeWink

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/01/2019 13:36

Arghh - sorry I am late to the thread.

I enjoyed last night - though I had to watch it in two sections, because I started watching it late, recorded, and then dh came in and wanted to watch Vera instead - I do like Vera too, so we switched off the sparkles and went for Northumbrian murder, as a bit of a break!

Is it just me, or did anyone else look at T&D's costumes for their skate, and think they were doing La La Land?

Elderflower14 · 28/01/2019 16:40

Pictures floating about online of Arg pushing Gemma in a wheelchair this morning!

iklboo · 28/01/2019 16:46

Some idiots people are trying to claim Gemma took a dive for the sympathy vote. Certainly looked like a genuine - and painful - fall to me.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 28/01/2019 17:00

Tbh I think Gemma would be pretty brave to deliberately fall face first (I don’t think she did) so I’m not going to condemn her.

She worked hard and was a lot more subdued this week - and lost some of her sparkle in the process. I worry that she’s becoming the go to pantomime villain on all of these reality shows. We very rarely see her good side - there must be one.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/01/2019 17:54

You could see how she caught her toe-pick and went flying. I am not her greatest fan, but I believe completely that was a genuine fall.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 28/01/2019 21:53

Apparently it's her Mum's wheelchair she's borrowed. I think the accident was genuine too cos she went down at a hell of a speed. Hope she carries on now as she'd improved so much compared to previous weeks.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 28/01/2019 22:50

I don’t know why her mum would need a wheelchair. She had knee replacement surgery not so very long ago.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius - You could see how she caught her toe-pick and went flying. I am not her greatest fan, but I believe completely that was a genuine fall.

Yes it was a classic beginner error of catching your toe-pick. I have 2 dds who figure skated and those sort of falls and the subsequent bruises were common in their beginner days. So I don't think she faked the fall although I think the wheelchair is trying to get the sympathy vote
