1. I like Katherina and I don't like Louie - expected it to be the other way around.
2. Good skating for week one!
3. Chris and Jayne are starting to look ancient.
4. Charlene is the surprisingly likeable contestant; Chemmy is irritatating me already ..
5. Jorgie is the female Ray Quinn - no-one else will be able to catch her up.

1) A female presenter on DOI without her willougboobies hanging out
2) Good job Sylvain burst his biceps when he was putting her down rather than holding her above his head.
3) Jorgie was incredible
4) Chemmy's accident
5) Mark, Sam's gonna beat you

Ray was on a different level that year - he got 23.5 in week 1

1 Sam was ahead last year but Laura and Chloe caught up
2 Andy A could be very good if his skating catches up with his dance skills
3 I don't miss Emma but it seems strange with no Holly
4 Looking forward to seeing how Chico fares
5 Hope they don't introduce any 'twists' this year

1. Chemmy was scored too high, the two Andy's and Charlene were both underscored
2. The only celebs I have taken to so far are Mark, Charlene and Andy W
3. Chemmy is really really irritating me, I can see her being a "shock exit"
4. Think it will be Charlene and Heidi in the skate-off tonight
5. Think the better skaters will be next week.

1. I never in a million years expected to see one of my favourite ever skaters on the DOI panel. Katerina Witt is knowledgeable and delightful.

2. Charlene and Chemmy were my joint favourites tonight. Both have a wonderful attitude and approach to life and they skated so well.

3. Mark and Sam are irritating me already.

4. Unpopular I'm sure, but I thought Holly was over-rated. I could take or leave her. Much prefer Christine.

5. Would like less pop songs.

I hate it when they have new songs that I don't know!

1. I much prefer the judges this year
2. If I was Chemmy I wouldn't want to watch the accident footage either
3.For an American soap star Charlene was refreshingly normal
4. I like Christine
5. Jorgie was good but not in the same league as Ray, but she is def a contender

1. There are another 8 celebs to skate next week which includes the favourite Matt Wolfenden so its more than possible that someone will equal or beat her.

2. Liking Louie and Katarina as the new panel additions as long as their judging remains consistant think we have a great panel.

3. Charlene was better than I thought hopefully she will have the fans to last a few weeks.

4. Not really as impressed with some as I thought I would be in particular Chemmy I don't like the I want people to know my story thing as such.

5. Scary hair and wardrobe again with some contestants. Jens hair ( I know she wasn't skating but what was going on with that) and Seans shirt looking like it belongs at a funfare.

1. Shame about Sylvain, think looked better with Heidi.

2. Laila's annoying me, why did she agree to do it when she clearly doesn't care if she's there or not.

3. Sean in leather look trousers.....really?

4. For me Charlene was a surprise, quite likeable and a reasonable skater.

5. Wish Laila had been skating tonight, would rather she went than any of tonight's celebs.

I was really upset for Andy. Why did they put most of the good people on tonight. There are three in next weeks performance who IMO are dud. Laila, Sam and may I am being unfair on Rosemary Conolly (I like her) but Laila why even sign them.

1. Katarina was one of many surprises tonight. She's a class addition to the panel.
2. The jazzed up music as the stars skate out one by one "lets meet our skating stars" is irritating the hell out of me. The original from a few years back was perfect. Its got so much stuff and noise added now its terrible.
3. Charlene was another surprise. What a lovely fun lady. Lets adopt her
4. The jury is out on Christine and Louis for now but its not a negative either.
5. Its still the best reality show on the box. The only one that really puts the stars under pressure. Heidi is a pretty big name from a very successful girl group - yet she was pretty much alone and vulnerable as she headed into her skate-off - and knowing the public did not back her. Its tough stuff and a great show!

Just one thought

It was dreadful

Sorry this is the Five thought thread. The one thought thread is down the road.

1.Love the new judging panel
2.Charlene is my favourite, was looking forward to her as Matt G is my fav pro but her skating was top notch
3.Andy shouldn't have been eliminated tonight
4.Glad Heidi was saved, nice to see Andrei make it past week 1
5.Missing Holly

1. I thought Jayne looked terrific in the dress she wore.
2. Far too long between announcing who was through.
3. I thought Chemmy and Sean are a well matched couple.
4. Andy W surprised me - he wasn't as bad as I thought he would be!
5. I really like the new ice panel.

what can one possibly miss about the airhead Dolly apart from the obvious?

'puts the stars under pressure?' What stars?

Oh come on. Give them some credit. They could be over sitting on a couch on Celebrity Big Brother playing games and talking.

1. I like the new ice panel a lot - and for someone who was very alarmed when I heard Louie Spence was on the panel, this was a pleasant suprise.

2. Jorgie is amazing and I really like Charlene.

3. Looking forward to Laila next week. I love her!

4. Christine was absolutely fine in her role! I don't get all the hate - give the woman a break. Holly is a nice enough girl and I do prefer her on DOI than to on This Morning, but Christine did a nice job tonight and should be proud of herself.

5. I'm starting to dislike Philip Schofield. I feel guilty as I'm not even really sure why...

1. Loved Katarina and Louie on the panel; they did an excellent job of being constructive and fair.
2. Christine looked absolutely gorgeous and did a good job. Holly who?
3. Matt looks like the cat who's got the cream and who can blame him? Jorgie is fantastic.
4. Having switched off half-way through the last series, I am hopeful that this series will restore my love of DOI...
5. ...but if they continue to have so many ad breaks, I'll have to start watching it on i-player.

1. I think this series could bounce the show back to the Kyran/Suzanne/Chris years
2. I love the panel; I hope they continue judging in the same way
3. Jorgie was graceful and lovely to watch
4. Felt sorry for Mark but he was out of his depth and he knew it so...
5. ...Andy A deserved to stay tonight

1. Jorgie's very good but there have been better (and there still could be better).
2. The standard (Mark apart) wasn't bad at all.
3. I think the overall standard next week will be lower which will be an even bigger kick in the teeth for Andy.
4. Charlene's sweet and her skating's not bad at all. I'd like to see her get through a few weeks.
5. I don't buy the "the celeb's aren't responsible for the choreography" argument when applied to a female who's constantly being carried round the ice. I reckon there's generally a reason that T&D won't let their skates touch the ice any more than is absolutely necessary. Give us more basic skating in week one and fewer lifts (from any of them). Show us a baseline.

1. Love Katarina
2. Don't like Louie
3. Think Jorgie's brill
4. Laila already cringeworthy without skating
5. Totally bored of Philip's "after the break" gag.

tbh I'm pretty sure they mark alot lower than they used to these series. Robin said Jorgie's was possibly the best first skate ever yet in series 2 Claire Buckfield got 24.5 for her first skate which is 6 more points than Jorgie, and watching Claire I think Jorgie was alot better

1. Loved the opening number - well done to Jayne, Chris and the pros for getting the show off to a brilliant start.
2. Great that we have a lot of familiar pros back this year, especially wonderful to have Matty G back. Missing Colin, Isabelle & Katie though and get well soon Sylvain. Still really miss Fred & Mel too.
3. Gutted for Andy & Maria & very undeserved exit IMO.
4. Heidi..if you want to avoid another skate off I'd suggest you let go of Andrei at some point.
5. Already dreading Laila beying beyond awful but getting voted through. Her attitude is annoying me, don't understand why she is doing the show.
