Hello!!!

Just wondering if any of last years regulars are still posting?

Dangermoose, Funkycub, Miss Minervois, Strictly Irish and any of the other Donuts who I may have forgotten.

I'm really liking Hayley for the girls and Gary for the boys this year. Sadly there's no eye candy of Donal's standard and I think that's a shame!

hello! Funkycub and Strictly Irish are lurking around somewhere. Jeremy Sheffield is the totty this year for me! Just hope he can catch up but the three weeks off training are really showing. In terms of skating I'm liking Daniella and Kieron

I was here last year

I haven't got a favourite yet, I loved Haley's performance, was impressed by Danniella and disapointed by Gary!

Definitley missing the Donal this year

Jeremy just doesn't do it for me - maybe because he looks like he is terrified of skating and I don't hold out much hope for his improvement - though the strip for medical reasons was a nice touch

Of the boys I liked Danny and Mikey and of the girls, Daniella was great when I hadn't expected her to be and Hayley seems to be the best of the Emmerdale girls so far so hopefully Dan will be able to do something other than just carry her round as he's done with previous partners.

So I reckon there are two girls (Daniella and Hayley) and up to 4 boys (Danny, Mikey, Keiron and Gary) in the running so far.

I am a proud Donut from last year

I'm praying for Jeremy to come good - Donal wasn't great at this stage either last year so I have my fingers firmly crossed that all will be well.

Have to say I've warmed far more to the boys than the girls, but that's pretty normal for me

Same here.

I'm not holding out much hope for Jeremy as I don't really fancy him like others seem to but I totally love Mikey. Also like Danny and Gary (kind of.) Oh and Dr. Hilary

Hi, everyone, by the way!

I knew someone would start this!

Yeah, there's no one like Donal in the cast this year, unfortunately. Or maybe it's fortunate, I won't get so obsessed : )

I like Mikey. I thought Jeremy was awkward but I'm glad he stayed. I'm more than ecstatic that Bobby Davro is gone, I couldn't take another series with that fake comedic entertainment that some people love. Thanks for getting rid of him, everyone!

Hello you lot! xxx

Know what you mean Philly - the joke wore thin with Todd last year - glad Davro's been nipped in the bud.

Shame Coleen has to do the Friday show, I really dislike the woman now, find her supremely irritating. Her supposed down to earth persona is so fake.

I hope Gary pulls his socks up because I think he could be good.

Mystic Lorelei Prediction #1 - Gary WILL make the final.

He has everything going for him - he can skate, he's supposedly an actor so should be able to emote, and he has super-skate-coach Maria in his corner. All he has to do is stop feeling like a wally and relax into it and he'll be flying.

Mind you, MLP #2 states that MLP #1 depends on how much the other lads improve or don't improve over the course of the series. If Danny and Kieron continue to get better and better then it's going to be quite a fight to get into the final!
