Dancing On Ice 2022....

[Elderflower14]

Just starting a thread ready for tonight's show....

Yes, fair play to him.

@Fireworksatforty are you sparkling?

Amazing, I'm so happy

Did anyone else hear the chanting... I didn't want Brendan to win but there was no need for that!!

I thought it was really close, but I’d have picked Brendon personally. I’m glad it was those two in the final though.

I would totally have picked Brendan - definitely wanted him to win although Regan is great so can't knock him.

I loved Jai Ho - Hayley was phenomenal doing that and there hasn't been a routine to challenge it since in my opinion!

The best two were in the final but I wanted Brendan to win. I thought his props dance was the dance of the season and his Bolero was the better of the two.

I expected Regan to win as he's been favourite for weeks. I don't begrudge him his success - he seems lovely.

I wish I had a river I could skate away on? More like a river I could be carried away from.

I’m sorry. The ramped up ‘modesty’ and ‘oh l’il ole me?’ stuff? If there had been a river full of bull I’d have dumped you in it myself. ‘The song got you in the feels’? And yet you made me feel Nowt. Again.

Brendan was my winner. Just lovely. The brollies dance - no words. Just beautiful.

I’m glad for Regan though. Loved the Step in Time dance. Joyous.

Thoroughly nice chap by the look of it. And he was fab. So I cannot grudge the win.

I just loved Brendan more. And he is my winner.

The brollies dance was one of the greatest things I’ve seen in any reality type show

I was on the edge of my sofa watching the brollies fly through the air, the skate was perfection

What people would you like to see do it next year

Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson.

Not sure about skaters though…

I enjoyed the final. Thought it was very close between Brendan and Regan.
Watching the pros, it occurred to me how strong the men must be to lift fully grown women (albeit thin ones!) over their heads the way they do.

@BoodleBug51

Brendan and Vanessa's Falling routine was just stunning, def the dance of the season for me.

When you look back now at Jai Ho with Daniel and Hayley, you realise how far the contestants have come on. She was carried/in hold for 99.9% of that routine and it was raved about for some reason.

Toe picks on ice, and being carried about. She didn't skate much.

Really enjoyed the final. Was happy to see Regan win, I loved him from the start, but at the last minute would have been happy for either of them to win.

They really need to shut the audience up. The booing of so-called low scores throughout the series, and at the end, it was impossible to hear what anyone was saying.

Great series, well done to all of them.

It was definitely the best series ever.
I hope they get similar next year.
My three favourite were people I'd never really heard of! (Connor, Kye, Regan).
Regan is my favourite winner since Chris Fountain.

Chris Fountain didn't win. But he should have.

Oh yes, you're right, he didn't.
Neither did Perry Kiely, he should have won too.
Chris was my favourite until now though

I really liked James Jordan too and didn't expect to.

It was unbelievable that Perry Kiely didn't win, he was incredible, doing back flips on the ice

Ray Quinn was always my favourite winner, he was brilliant.

I could never take to him, same with Hayley Tamadon.

Hayley is in the news at the moment for her fiance cheating. They've split up. I remember this happened to her when she was on Dancing on Ice but then she had an affair with then married Marcus Brigstocke who cheated. What a sad merry go round.

Ray Quinn is fitting carpets in between stage work.

I think it was Chris Dean who said Brendan had the best ever first performance. Better than Ray?

My mouth fell open when Joe Swash was announced as the winner instead of Perri.

I really felt Perri was robbed.

Totally agree. And then they got rid of Joe's partner as a pro the following year, which I found really odd. She was one of my favourite pro's as well.

The difference between the votes was about 1.5%.

I don't really remember Joe so he didn't make much impressive on on me but I liked his partner Alex, and Perri was great.

I adored Perri. He took on every challenge and more besides. He was so likeable as well.

I actually could not believe he didn't win.
