Was anybody there tonight?

review of opening show from Manchester Evening News http://www.manchestereveningnews.co....phones-6892424 first win to Ray

What Were the scores and who was Ray against in the bolero?

I know ray got full marks

I see an Interview with Suzanne and Gareth, where they said that they were not skating Bolero this tour, the audience will vote on their routines. Only Chris and Jane will skate Bolero as its a special anniversary only they should skate it.

Oh makes sense. I wonder if there was a guest judge? I can't wait until I go

Only three judges?

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

Hayley scored a 9.0, shame we can't see the rest.

I was looking on YouTube and I found some videos from last night's show in Manchester:

As Robin said, it actually translates better to the bigger rink

Thanks for those

I've watched them and written the scores down

Judges: Robin Karen Nicky

Ray and Maria:

10.0 10.0 10.0 total 30.0

Kyran and Nina:

9.0 9.0 9.5 Total 27.5

Hayley and Dan:

9.0 9.5 8.5 Total 27.0

Beth and Lucasz:

8.5 9.0 9.0 Total 26.5

Suzanne and Matt:

8.5 8.5 8.0 Total 25.0

Gareth and Brianne:

8.0 8.0 8.0 Total 24.0

Bonnie and Andrei:

8.0 8.0 7.5 Total 23.5

Joe and Robin:

7.0 6.5 6.0 Total 19.5

I actually preferred Bonnie to Gareth, but she had a slight stumble so maybe they marked her down a bit.

It's only the beginning of the tour, so as time goes on I'm sure some of the lower scores will go up.

Joe doesn't half know how to waffle

Not only does it showcase Ray, it also shows what a brilliant dancer Maria is as she has to match him

Who is doing the presenting/compering this year?

Jayne and Chris.

Even more excited for when I go now

I heard they are announcing the winner at the beginning of the second half of the show with no final 2 etc and no boleros, anyone able to confirm this?

This is true.

Suzanne - Black Velvet- 8.0 8.0 8.5- My score 9.5
Kyran- Love Me again- 9.0,9.0,9.5- My score 8.5
Beth- Hey Brother- 9.0,9.0,9.0 - My score 10.0
Joe- Mission Impossible- 7.0,7.0,6.0- My score 3.0
Bonnie- Devil Gate Drive- 8.5,8.0,7.5 - My score 8.5
Gareth- Patience- 8.0,8.5,8.0- My score 7.5
Hayley Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy- 9.5,9.5,7.5 (Yes it is not a spelling mistake!) 9.0 from me

Ray Maleguena 10,10,10 and I would score 10.

Third- Beth
Second- Hayley
First- Ray.

I am gonna miss doi. :cry

I was there this afternoon, what an amazing show! I have been every year and although our seats weren't particularly good so I didn't get any photos or videos it was definitely the best. The only bit I didn't really enjoy was Joe Pascquale (sorry, I am miserable!)

I dont know how much to post so I am putting spoilers...



Ray was amazing although he had a stumble in his second routine. I also loved Bonnie and Andrei's Devil Gate Drive.

Another highlight was

I don't think I'm going to enjoy Joe's performances either because he isn't a great skater and there are other skaters that I would rather see on the tour. The judges actually seem to be very generous when they're scoring him...?

If possible, would you be able to let us all know that the second routines are? I know all the first ones from YouTube videos, but I can't find any videos of the second routines. Thank you in advance

Any info about the pro routines

If you go on YouTube and type in Dancing on Ice Live Tour 2014 Video 1, or Video 2 etc. through to Video 24 all the routines are there including the opening and closing routines!

Ray has won all three shows so far so I would be amazed if he did not win most shows and win the Final Tour!

What were the scores for show 3?

Don't know any scores but Ray has just won the Sunday matinee - four out of four so far! Wonder why Hayley is not doing Jai Ho? Thought that might giver her a better chance with the audience although Rays routine and skating ability would still be in a different league!

Karen, Nicky and Robin

That was Saturday afternoon's show.

Nice to see Karen and Nicky back on the ice together!
