Dancing on Ice 2023.

[Elderflower14]

Apologies if there is another thread but starting one for the beginning of the show!!

I didn’t catch Mr Banjo’s look of contempt. He always seems to have a hint of stink face to me so I probably wouldn’t notice.

The panel really does need a shake up. I do miss Jason and Karen. And as bad as it sounds, I’m not even interested in what C&J say any more.

I would like to say, as I forgot earlier, that Patsy seems like a bloody lovely person.

I miss Karen but not Jason. He was horribly unpleasant to Beth Tweddle every week.

And I didn't like Karen Barber at all, I thought she was mardy, overly emotional and not objective at times. Jason was correct most of the time but the way he delivered his criticism was very mean. I think she had a bit of a sense of entitlement about her, particularly when she came back after her glow-up, Botoxed and on Chris Dean's arm! I like her as a coach instead, that's where her strengths are. Not as a panellist/judge.

Just caught up. Only Joey and Nile are really shining for me at minute. And I don't even like Joey. I don't get the fuss about carley or Mollie. Fairly slow this week barely any of them mastered the judges challenge yet all scored high. I think the right two were in the bottom and Pasty was slightly weaker. The Mr Blobby thing was just odd.

The Mr Blobby thing was nonsense, just filling time.

I can't like Joey (this is the first time I have watched anything that he is on) but I think he is doing well. Vanessa seems to always get a contender, give her a dud next time.

Also think Nile and The Vivienne are doing well. Missed Siva this week, hopefully he will be able to compete next week.

Carley is obviously the favourite with the judges. They kinda give Mollie a hard time, imo, and I wish the bloody headbanger was banned from being done on the show.

Patsy was ready for off, I think, and I presume Darren will be next to go.

Anyone watching tonight?

I'm watching... Loving the Viv...
Hate the way Holly says Tipppppppy!!! So irritating!!!

I'm watching for a bit but I have to go before the end and catch up later. I enjoyed that performance.

I'm quite shocked that I love viv as I'm not keen on men in drag, but he is such a lovely person, and a really good skater.

That was fabulous!!!

I didn't know much about drag queen's until my son became friends with some.. One of his friends won Ru Paul's Drag Race last year... Which we were both very excited about...

I can see them in the final.

That jump was shocking and he's so bloody slow!

Loving the Viv too (and also Hollys dress)
This isnt good though!

The Viv was great, Darren wasn’t I’m afraid

7.5 is a tad keen imo..

Mollie and Darren in DO methinks!!

Do not like Joey’s hair at all

Joey really gets stuck in. I like him.

Joey was okish..

Loved Siva.

Vanessa didn’t want the kiss from Joey. I thought it looked very uncomfortable. I’m not enjoying this series very much and can’t put my finger on why. I don’t think they’ll ever top Todd Carty 😂

I didn't think much of the judges challenge. Ridiculously overmarked.

It must be bad if I lose interest but I'm afraid that's what has happened. I watched the first two couples but it's just a weak line up and they haven't improved much after several weeks and hundreds of hours of practice. Every other series has had me gripped from start to finish.

What a bummer.

Nowhere near as good as the Vivienne.
