Is anyone else getting bored with DOI?

Iam finding it really hard to get excited about this series of DOI, I have always enjoyed watching the show and went to see the tour last year which was brilliant fun and have tickets for this years too but Iam finding myself wishing this years show was over already. If it wasn’t that I like a couple of the contestants and want to see what happens with them I would probably stop watching, I already record the show and forward through more than half of the show.

Don't even think Torvill and Deans routine's have been as interesting either this year.
I'm glad someone else has mentioned the routines and their lack of impact. Apart from Hayley's routines which I've loved, and a handful of others, everything seems stale and samish. In particular watching T & D dance is very repetitive, with the same style movements and it has seemed like watching the same thing over and over again for the vast majority of their routines.
I normally really enjoy their routines but have started to wish that each week the skaters are allowed to work with different choreographers, and that we get to see a pro routine, choreographed by themselves as well as a Chris and Jayne routine.
Proper solo skating spots for the celebs
Set dances/rhythms
Partner-swapping (hehe)
Oh that would be interesting. Like in the world show jumping championships where the final four have to ride each other's mounts... hang on this is getting worse .
Dr Hilary was pretty awful...
Got the feeling it ought to be better than it is this year. Daniella is physically a better shape than Zoe and can do more but her marks have not been as good as they might be till this week. Hayley seems to be carrying the show and they are in danger of making her to obvious and giving her too much too early and too much for one routine. The males ought to be doing better than they are but they are not managing tricks or acting really good routines or lifting very well or in Mikey's case much at all. They should on age, background and fitness have been the answer to the problem that they couldn't find enough good males in series 3 and 4 but somehow they are not. The age profile looks wrong too with only really Hayley at an ideal age and everyone else too old or too young among the females and the males seem to be having difficulty getting support - possibly because they are too young for the female vote. Its true there's a lack of great routines but most series only have a few anyway and this series there's a limit to what you can do when you only have two or three teams who can move, act, lift and dance well.
While I agree this series is better, ^^^ this is utter tripe.
There were plenty of people who liked Donal for his improvement and personality. Nothing to do with Ray, who I pretty much just ignored. Donal had a strong fanbase.
Is Donal Irish?
If you have a grievance about a specific aspect of the show then by all means air it. If you have grievances about several aspects, do likewise. But to come on and say that the whole show is boring is simply neither believeable or interesting for anyone.
I feel a little mean making this point, but really, televisions have off buttons for a reason, and you might be off using yours rather than clog up a site meant for discussion with remarks about how dull you find it all.
I hadn’t really found that they were that annoying until this year where they both seem to unable to say anything negative about the show or anyone connected to the show like Jason, I was really annoyed to hear Emma on TM yesterday laugh at what Jason says as if it nothing offensive, I can’t believe they are not disgusted at some of the things he has said this year?
For starters I have explained the reasons for still watching the show in my OP and the reason why I started the thread was a genuine interest as to whether anyone else was feeling the same as me which is what I believe a forum is for? If you hate threads like this so much why have you bothered to waste your time reading and posting in it?
It's entirely possible to enjoy the forum a lot more than the show, so why drop out of the forum just because the show is boring?
As for "why are you still watching?" -- some of us aren't watching very much. We skip or FF over most of it.
I find it both believable and interesting.
They are really getting on my nerves coupled with the endless adverts :mad:
Even though I found both Ray and Coleen annoying, I still enjoyed last year's show more than this one. Most of this year's routines just don't interest me, and I don't even find myself looking forward to what might happen later.
Perhaps part of this is because of the Olympics., though. The skating is so good there that DOI suffers by comparison.
Yep...
Who go on the forums then? I can't imagine wasting precious time reading & talking about a show I don't even like!
Iam glad to hear that Iam not the only one feeling this about this series, I was so excited when it first came back this year but then I found it wasn't quite living up to the previous years.
I thought so:D
