I'm not keen on it, I'd prefer to see another standard skating routine to be honest.
The flying can look very good but there's just never any skating in the routines, or much dance to be fair, it just seems like the celeb get swung around - albeit gracefully - touches the ice for a second before being lifted again!
I'd prefer the final to have maybe one new, old favourite and Bolero. Maybe even one slow song and one fast out of the first two to show what they can do in both styles.
What does everyone else think?:)

I'm with you, they are beyond pointless. Its bad enough when some routines in normal shows consist of pretty much lifts alone but when you add to that wire work that encourages even less skating I find myself wondering why im watching. Its supposed to be about skating not flying around on a wire, if I wasnted to see celebs doing stuff like that id watch Cirque de Celebrata

I do think some wire stunts can look really good, series one i probably loved it but then last year i was bored by it.
Dancing on Ice not Flying on Wires!;)
I'd rather see a new routine incorporating ALL of the compulsory elements, an old favourite and a T&D routine which varies each year.....
That would be great actually.:D
I actually quite liked props, particularly the one with the table (I think it was Greg and Christina?).
I'd think they should be judged on one fast routine and one slow - it would shut up people like me
I liked Props in series 1 and 2 but they took it too far this year.
Bolero is the big one as thats what they won olympic gold with - thats the one their most famous for. Any celebrity coming in and getting to the final two and then having to choreograph and perform something else would be a let down seeing as for 3 years now the finalists performed it so they can't really change it.
Everyone says Bolero was the first to get perfect 6.0s but it wasn't Barnum was - Bolero got more 6.0s than Barnum in the technical side of things as well. I think M&M got one 5.9 for artistic impression.
So did I loved Bonnies flying rouitine
It's not skating but acrobatics.
I really thought they could come up with something new.... especially as we already know Chris will win, Suzanne 2nd and Zaraah 3rd.Would love it if my prediction is wrong but would be more :eek: if it wasn't.
That's my view. It's bizarre that it's not part of the show till the final and then it plays such a major part. It favours the girls too, and like the unfair distribution of props it detracts from the skating.
I would prefer to see new routines, one fast one slow in the final. Also I'm a bit bored with the Bolero as no one gets anywhere near the original. :yawn:
They could do a showcase like in SCD, where they pick and choreograph everything.
Yes I agree on all counts.
definitly agree. im not even keen on T&D doing it. as said not much skating involved and all the professionals can do is skate around them.
Didn't he fly to Angels or something on the tour? Can't quite remember but He was very good, definitly had the Wow factor to it!:)
As for Bolero.. it's classic and I hope they keep it for next season (hopefully !?!)
No flying.
No Bolero.
IMO, flying shouldn't be part of the show at all - it just has too little connection with ice - and I'm tired of Bolero.
