I wasn't impressed by Props Week this year - the props were completely new and different from previous years and were mostly silly gimmicks which had nothing to do with skating skill. A lot of them were used with the skaters standing still, which is pointless. The whole thing looked like "It's A Knockout On Ice" (if anyone remembers that ghastly show). I liked Jorgie and her streamer the best - it had to be manipulated right throughout her performance and she did it brilliantly.
I preferred the old props, especially the table and chair which had to be moved around the ice, and the umbrella which must be the clumsiest object ever invented and was a huge problem to control.
