Was beginning to despair
and then Mikey came out to skate.
The quality of the 'talent' this year is awful! there's only 3 or 4 semi decent skaters! Not a patch on last year. Mikey, Daniella, Gary - best we have. And they are not that great. |

Last year there was only 3 - Jessica, Ray and Zoe
Donal wasn't great to start with but grew throughout the series. I would say 'm enjoying this year so much more, mainly because its close + there's about 5-6 really good skaters |

I actually enjoy watching Mikey and Daniella better than Ray though. I like to see the celebs progressing not just coming out as brilliant on day one and never changing thereafter

I disagree. I think that whilst this year there are more bad ones than last year, I also think that there are more good ones.
A lot of last years were very much average, and also, at least this year theres some sort of competition. Last year we all knew Ray Quinn had won from the first episode.. I see no appeal when the main question for that week is if someone gets a 29 or a 30

I actually think this year is better than last year because there are a lot of people who are real contenders, rather than one or two (mostly one really... Ray) obvious winners. Tonight wasn't the best example because a lot of them didn't skate at their best.
Series 3 is my favourite. Chris was very good but not so good that he didn't need to improve, and Suzanne ended up being brilliant. |

I like this series more than last year,as its a close contest between a selection of the skaters.
Hayley Tammadon did well tonight, she stumbled on the required element but I thought she was good. Mikey was quality and I liked Daniellas performance. gary Lucy also impressed me! With regards to the rest i wasn't that thrilled!, it's pretty painful to watch in truth |

Not really, she's carried most of the time, just very confident and has a good friendship with her partner.
:yawn:- you are obviously not watching, she skated on her own more tonight than the rest of them put together.

I'm actually quite pleased that there isn't one clear front runner for a change.
It makes things less predictable. |

Agree with those who are liking this year's more because of the competition.
Hayley may have been top so far but she's not that much better than the likes of Mikey & Daniella. I think that a top 4 is starting to emerge but Danny & Kieron still have the capability to catch them up again. I think it's sometimes a little dangerous comparing with previous year's as you always think of them at the end of the competition whereas this year we are only in week 3 if you disregard the boy/girl only weeks. |

Really? Danny, Kieron, Mikey, Gary, Daniella and Hayley are all good imo. Heather surprisingly good, a few other good "middlers" then a large group of dossers who need to be culled.

I feel the opposite about the competition, barring an injury it looks like a foregone conclusion to me that Mikey will win.

Hayley has the support of the divas plus unlike a lot of his previous partners she can really skate so that will be a difficult combination to beat. Also, Daniella seems really popular too & has really won over a lot of people. |

I think this years' competition is certainly a lot closer, no Ray-type frontrunner yet, which is making it much more entertaining to watch, in my opinion.

Mikey is very popular & this combined with him being a good skater will help of course. I think he will probably get to the semis at least but if 1 or 2 others start to get ahead then he might not get the votes come the final. There are still 8 weeks left.

It is early days I guess. |

Hayley, Daniella and Mikey are excellent. Gary and Danny are good, Kieron's not bad - I think there's enough talent this year.

I'm definitely appreciating the openness of the competition on the show, there's a front four couples and I think any of them could win - I would've included Danny in that but seems he might not have the public vote after this evening. |

Its nice for a change to see all the contestants start off at more or less the same level and to see how some progress more than others. As opposed to having one or two that has already had skating experience in previous years.
