She was appalling. She hardly danced at all. Am I missing something??

She wasnt appaulling, she did what she could with the choreography chosen for her by T & D which is fair play. No she didnt skate much, and frankly I was saddened to see that, but she performed the routine set for her to the best of her ability and acting experience. I have adored the Blues Brothers for a very long time (dont know who murdered the song alas!) but he did have a few wobbles and I knew that would go against him. Lets hope T & D concentrate on her skating (as opposed to acting) abilities over the next few weeks. The routines are set by them and I see it that its up to them to deliver.

A bit odd.Last week she skated solo quite well but I reckon the constrictions of costume and choreography this week precluded that,which left..not much really lift was O.K. I suppose.

I agree with the comment about costume, whilst it played the part it was hardly Ice Dance - she must have been concerned a blade would go through such a long skirt.

No. She eventually got on the ice, and was either pulled along or lifted up.

ITV have obviously paid a lot of money for her and Corey so need to keep their Hollywood stars

That dress was a fright - waaaay too long for a novice skater, and i agree she didn't actually do much this week compared to her first outing - and (I think) paid the price by being dumped in the bottom 2!

The right one went though (lovely though he was) although IMHO - Rosemary should have been there with Mark rather than Charlene.

I might get slammed for this - but I think the fault lies with Jayne and Chris. It was as if they didn't know what to do with her. They gave her a bad song and a lacklustre routine.

Throw in that ridiculous dress, which should have shortned considerably and Charlene was reduced to being a tribute act. She is better than what Jayne and Chris made her look like

Already it seems as if they are devoting their imagination and time to their show ponies and saying right forget the rest if they get through - fine - if they don't - whatever

Yes she was overmarked and that is why she didn't get the public vote.

She should have gone last night, she is not doing too much skating and it appears from the faces and comments, she is being a bit of a diva

I was so disappointed how bad she was when she gave such a beautiful performance during week one. I hope she improves next week or it will be such a shame that all that promise turned out to be a fluke.
