I couldn't see another thread so I thought I'd start one

It’s just been dire this year, the main source of conversation has been about who has dropped out and why the judges have got such sour faces!
I’m not enjoying it because I don’t know who most of the professional skaters are nor half of the celebrities.
It shouldn’t have gone ahead really.

Sunbird24 · 17/02/2021 08:58

There’s a curse for sure this year, but it’s not the same one Strictly is rumoured to have...

TheChosenTwo · 17/02/2021 15:39

Someone just posted this on Facebook, I won’t click as it’s a scum link, but going to google now to see if there’s any truth in it...
Actually no one I know has posted it, it’s just been suggested to me as something I might like to follow (I wouldn’t).

But they weren't 'axed'. They tested post for Covid & so surely had the same bye chance Hound did?

iklboo · 17/02/2021 16:16

Positive, not post.

Papergirl1968 · 17/02/2021 16:36

Hmm, speculation in the tabloids, and “sources” being quoted as saying that Joe-Warren Plant and Vanessa are being brought back as they were expected to win.
I’m confused as to who Faye is skating with. Hamish was injured so she was partnered with Matt, but now Hamish is quoted as saying he’ll be back on February 28.

Maybe Hamish will be back for the pro-skaters skates. But can’t be Faye’s partner as his hand injury means no lifts or other couples elements that involve his hands.

CharityDingle · 17/02/2021 17:29

@OutwiththeOutCrowd

Faye is always very gracious about the comments she gets. (I think I'd be getting a bit sulkier by now if I were in her position, given the seeming bias against her shown by the judges!)

Yes, they really must be disheartening, the comments she gets.
It seems to be, 'well you're the best so you need to be better.'

And not giving her and Hamish any credit for what they have done. I think they were undermarked , especially last week.

RootyT00t · 17/02/2021 19:09

I think after his last two years Hamish may well tell them to shove it

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 17/02/2021 19:38

I think anyone with a hint of common sense would tell them to shove it.

I’m not sure how it has got so rotten but it has.

Though I’m of a mind if one couple get to return after being out, then others should too. (If they wish)

Bring back GBell and watch the reaction I say!

HappyWipings · 17/02/2021 20:03

If they're bringing back a previously eliminated couple they'll probably have vote.

LIZS · 17/02/2021 20:04

Was it Hamish who got the brunt of Caprice's irritations?

HappyWipings · 17/02/2021 20:19

@LIZS it was.

EvilRingahBitch · 17/02/2021 20:42

I do feel that once your highly trained and fit professional athletes are giving themselves disastrous injuries by putting on their socks then the time has come to admit that your show is under a curse.

Who was it who performed the ritual do you think? My money’s on Caprice.

Coleen

HappyWipings · 17/02/2021 21:07

Or Sinitta. I bet she's still bitter about going out first.

EvilRingahBitch · 17/02/2021 21:11

My first thought was genuinely that you meant Coleen Nolan - she looks like a woman who could hold a grudge for a long time, and probably thought that her position of Queen of People’s Hearts would sweep her to victory despite her total inability to stand upright on ice without support.

That’s probably less convoluted a motive than Coleen Rooney though. Talk me through your thinking? I’m open to all motives however batshit.

LIZS · 17/02/2021 21:11

It has become as farcical as The Jump.

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 17/02/2021 21:20

I think I’m with you evilringah

There is a little dancing on ice rink somewhere (in the style of blue peter’s Tracey island) and all sorts of weird and wonderful things are being done to it...

Just waiting for the grin twins to have a major wardrobe malfunction and we’re done!

Coleen Nolan and Rebekah Vardy!!!

I agree about Nolan. Kim woodburn is batshit but Coleen lost me at the setting her up on loose women.

Papergirl1968 · 17/02/2021 21:23

We will see re Hamish (bloody spell check changed his name firstly to Hampshire and then to gaming!)
Ahh, Caprice! How could I possibly have forgotten about her and her diva antics?

TheChosenTwo · 17/02/2021 22:25

Oh my god, talking of sinnita and her being given the elbow first, remember the hoopla of Pamela Anderson being on and her going out first too? Or am I making it up that she was on there?!

You’re right TheChosenTwo. Pammie was on DOI ages ago when she was past her peak but still had massive name recognition factor in the UK - arguably the most famous person they’ve ever had on? (Jason Donovan being a close second - but I’m not as on top of my DOI stats as I am SCD so I may have forgotten that time George Clooney did the show).

Huge build up, completely mediocre performance - not even memorably shit. What I’d forgotten until I googled it just now is that she was beaten in the skate off by Keith Chegwin

RAOK · 19/02/2021 00:18

I think they’ll cut their losses and discontinue this series (or at least they may as well.)

PrincessScarlett · 19/02/2021 16:08

So Joe-Warren and Vanessa are back after previously being out. Looks like the one week break has been orchestrated to enable them both to recover from covid.

But, surely this is very unfair on the others who have had to pull out due to injury or covid? No-one else is being invited back.
