Mikey
Gary (Maybe a little biased towards him due to the incredible hotness.)
Hayley (I prefer Daniella as a person and usually as a skater but I really enjoyed this routine.)
Daniella
Sharron (just an endearing routine)
Emily
Danny
Tana
Keiron
Heather (Ugh)
Don't wanna rank them, just too much hassle for my poor head to remember all the performances in detail...
Mikey and Danniella stood out. I think my favourite was, oddly, Sharron - I was delighted by her improvements and thought they managed to capture the sense of the song rather well. Plus I liked Dr Hils' efforts this week. Hardly good, but not a disaster.
Didn't like Emily or Tana at all, and was a little disappointed in Kieron - maybe the pressure of going first got to him.
Everyone else had rather 'meh' routines IMHO. Looking forward to when T&D aren't just chuntering out routines for loads of people and can focus a little bit more!
Daniella
Mikey
Hayley
Kieron
Sharron (yes! so improved .. )
Danny - he can do better, though ..
Heather
Dr Hilary (again, yes .. improvement!)
Tana .. improvement but still not great, even though I like her!
Emily. Same level as Dr H and Tana, but
a) has a performance background, which Tana doesn't.
b) is young and fit, which Dr H isn't
c) moans a lot - which Tana and Dr H didn't.
Never been previously keen on Daniella for various reasons but she seems to be doing really well and Gary is coming along really well..Mikey is another good one..Danny v easy on the eye (not that the show is entirely about that, you'll understand!!)
Daniella - Great costume , great skating and presentation - generally underrated at the mo.
Mikey - Fun song presented well. Soft knees, good skating. Look forward to seeing more from him.
Gary - Don't understand why he's not getting more public support
Hayley - bit frenetic for my liking but lots of energy. Needs to get off her toepicks and use the blades to show what she can do.
Sharron - it was slow song which suited her and she skated well - lovely 360 degree twizzle turn on her own - best of the night. Jason needs to get real and stop letting his prejudices do the talking.
Danny - lively and reasonable skating but a bit messy and uncontrolled
Kieron - needs to learn more control and to 'lead' rather than always looking to Brianne for the next move but getting there. Awful costume though.
Tana - looked pretty and like she was enjoying it this week but very tentative and stiff.
Dr Hilary - for his huge improvement from last week
Emily - Nice presentation in lifts but skating is weak - love Fred though!
Heather - was it the leg socket or has she reached the limits of what she can do in this comp. She looked uncomfortable through it all and no flow at all.
