    So, who is watching it ... I am

    It has more credit to it than Big Brother and I can't see why anyone watches that.

    At least this has some talent to it.

    Not sure my skates would still fit me :D Used to go skating at Streatham ice rink - pure fun, and a lorra laughs.

    I agree LOL, Ice Dancing and Strictly Come Dancing are both programmes I thoroughly enjoy.

    I was sorry to see Phil exit as he had potential, I think Stephen should have been the one on performance to date.

    I used to ice skate for fun when i was younger of course, spent my nights and days at whitley bay ice rink, been the odd time over the years and still enjoyed it.
    must admit i missed it last night as the o/h wanted to watch something else

    I used to skate as well, in my late teens and early twenties. There's a rink here so may go some time for fun and see if I can still stand up.

    Never could roller skate, though, couldn't stand up on wheels but fancy in-line skating.

    I'm glad Ulrika is gone. She looks awful these days and has no grace whatsoever. The skate-off should have been between she and Stephen, who is about as graceful as she is! The two skating together would be like a pair of woodentops! :D Hopefully next week he'll be gone!

    Besides the skating, which is far more advanced this year, I love the costumes. I particulary liked Lisa and Daniel's pink/nude combo. He's a fabulous skater and would like to see him win two years in a row.

    What brilliant skating ... so advanced for only the fourth week!

    T'other half and I are in agreement (this is rare) that we agree with the judge's at this point ...

    Stephen has got to go Kaye has got to go, prefereably Stephen as he is still a woodentop.

    I too am a great fan of the Ice Skating I think Stephen is gettting sympathy votes from his fans he looks absolutely terrified. I would not like to predict who will be in the finals I think it is going to be a close call. Jazz [​IMG] :D [​IMG]

    Thank goodness Stephen is gone ... I don't think I could have coped with him another week. And I was horrified Lee was in the run off as he has improved so much and is so graceful now, just needs to smile a bit more because he has a lovely smile.

    Now I have to wait a whole week ... :(

    I agree with you LOL but I think the standard is very high and I would not like to predict the winner as they have all improved. I am very shortly going away for a short break to Spain where I am sure the weather will be a little kinder. I will be back on GC when I return.

    Jazz :D :D :D

    Other than the theme was right up my alley and I loved all the songs, because I'm a country girl at heart, I am amazed at the the talent now coming out of these folk.

    What excellent performances by the guys ... Duncan, Lee and Kyran! Talk about getting their acts together this week. And Lisa is just brilliant!

    Being an ex ice skater, I know how difficult these moves are ... and I never got to this standard!


    I hope Kay goes because I think she is rubbish and has lingered too long.

    I agree LOL - the skating tonight was very good.

    Kay was outed - she did really well to get this far. I wouldn't like to try this comp.

    Strictly Come Dancing and Ice Dancing are two programmes I enjoy - seeing the peeps commit so much time, and do so well.
