So we have our first shock exit tonight with Edele leaving after she was in the top half of the leaderboard - it just goes to show that nobody can be guaranteed safety.


The next show will hopefully be on Saturday. The details for week 2 will be in the next post.

Week 2:

The theme for this week is "Dance Crazes!". That means that you need to pick songs that have dances associated with them. Examples include "The Birdie Song", "Agadoo" etc.


Song choices need to be sent to me by 8PM FRIDAY


As a side note, there will be no more double eliminations

Update: the show will be moved to TUESDAY. Toni, Val and Eliza need to get their songs to me as soon as possible please. Note the theme above.

Still need songs from Toni, if I don't get anything by 6pm today then the rest of you can send me suggestions and she will get a 5 vote penalty.

I'm aiming to get the show up either tomorrow or Thursday, depending on how long it takes me to get RC sorted

Ok guys, I didn't hear anything from Toni so feel free to send me suggestions.

I will now aim to get the show up either late tonight (so having an overnight vote) or tomorrow afternoon

Toni has sent me her songs, and the show will be on TOMORROW

Sorry it took me so long, it's just been one of those weeks.

Welcome to the second live show of Ice Stars! Last time, we lost both Edele & Sylvain and Sammy & Mark in a shocking elimination. This week, the remaining couples must perform to a "dance craze" track - how will they do? Let's find out!

Today we start with Team Val.

Scott & Vicky - "Land of 1000 Dances" by Wilson Pickett

Robin - 5.5
Jason - 5
Katerina - 6

Making a total of 16.5 out of 30

Judges' comment: Katerina - Scott, that was a fast and fluid performance. Your lift work is great, now you just need to work on your feet to make sure that they're always precise.

Sally & Andrei - "Vogue" by Madonna

Robin - 4.5
Jason - 3.5
Katerina - 4

Making a total of 12 out of 30

Judges' comment: Robin - It's a shame Sally as you were doing well but you didn't get yourself in the right position for the big lift and so it just looked messy, and it seemed to put you off for the rest of the routine.


Next, it's Team Eliza.

Liz & Dan - "The Ketchup Song" by Las Ketchup

Robin - 3
Jason - 2
Katerina - 3

Making a total of 8 out of 30

Judges' comment: Jason - I was hoping that you would excite me Liz but it just wasn't there. There were too many stumbles and you weren't in time with the music as your skating was just too slow.

Max & Maria - "Agadoo" by Black Lace

Robin - 4.5
Jason - 4
Katerina - 4.5

Making a total of 13 out of 30

Judges' comment: Katerina - I don't think this theme week suited you Max. You seemed uncomfortable throughout and the technique that you normally have in abundance wasn't quite there tonight.

Oliver & Susie - "Oops Upside Your Head" by The Gap Band

Robin - 4
Jason - 4
Katerina - 4.5

Making a total of 12.5 out of 30

Judges' comment: Robin - That was a decent skate Oliver. The tricks were great and the performance was good, you just need to up your speed over the ice a little.


Time now for Team David.

Jamie & Brianne - "Gangnam Style" by Psy

Robin - 5
Jason - 4
Katerina - 5

Making a total of 14 out of 30

Judges' comment: Jason - That was EPIC in terms of entertainment. Your actual skating has improved a lot from last week so I'm impressed.
