Really bad idea making this weekly, it worked perfectly as nightly viewing for a week, people will be fed up and forgotten about this long before six weeks are up!!

So these celebs are now getting a six week jolly up in Austria?! Or are they going to film it all in a couple of weeks and just play it out over six?
I loved it when it was on over a period of nights, but spreading it out is a mistake i think, ill get bored.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be interesting to see what she could do with several months of serious training.
I thought the same with Louise Hazel last year. There does seem to be a lot of talent in Women's Skeleton in Britain though. One of those minority sports where we just seem to do really well.

Really cannot see how Becky can continue with her dislocated shoulder

Not sure this years' format is going to work, once a week is too big a gap, no momentum.
And they needed to start with an exciting competitive event like ski cross or speed skate racing.

Can't see an outstanding alpine sports competitor yet like Louise from Chelsealand last year.

Anyone else think that Beth could seriously take up Skeleton if she wanted to and actually do quite well with the correct training.
Not really although she could quickly master the technique. The body types for this event like Liz Yarnold & Shelly Rudman tend to be bigger/heavier to propel themselves faster.

I am not sure Beth Tweddle will be as strong a contestant as we all thought.
The Made in Chelsea gang have a bit of a natural upper class advantage, Marc Francis is going to good at most events just from the evidence of last night.

Why are there morons on twitter abusing her ? It was Davina who looked like a Christmas tree ornament.

does anyone else think the weekly thing will be as stopy, starty as a poor internet connection?

The decision to make it weekly is a disaster IMHO. At the very least we should have had daily 'training' update programme even if it was only 15 minutes long.

The only people who benefit from the weekly format are the production staff, who get a whole season in the alps instead of just a couple of weeks!

Abusing who? Beth?
Because she's actually talented and what she does isn't easy and takes years of training?

It was reported in the papers that trolls on twitter said she looked like a grinch on the show. She looked fine to me.

Tina's out due to a fall - crew were in the ski jump landing area whilst she was doing a jump which "put her off"!

C4/The Jump bosses have had stern words with them, and offered Tina a place in 2017's line up.

So we know Tom Parker (is it?) is a substitute but he hurt himself too. Is he going to replace her or is there a female substitute too?

Female substitute on stand by is Gemma Merna, although in the reports after Louise Lytton was eliminated it indicated she would stay on for a week in case someone got injured and she needed to replace them. Therefore not sure if Gemma or Louisa will replace Tina, i suppose it depends on whether Louisa is still there.

That's not good.
I would have expected with a show like this that safety and a duty of care towards the contestants was paramount.

I wonder if the full reasons are given on the actual show or if they will try to cover their backs and be very careful about the details they reveal?

Give some people a twitter account its like allowing a toddler to drive a car.
When they go personal they tend not to have a personal photo present and the timeline seems full of abuse for people on how they look.

Actually hope Beth does well. She was brilliant on DOI and put up with a lot of hassle then

Beth is actually favourite to win the show which shows she has lots of loyal supporters. I have stuck a bet on her to win as I think she's great!

The full list is:

Beth Tweddle 9/4
Dean Cain 4/1
Sid Owen 6/1
Mark-Francis Vandelli 6/1
Linford Christie 7/1
Tamara Beckwith 10/1
Brian McFadden 10/1
Tina Hobley 12/1
Sarah Harding 14/1
Rebecca Adlington 20/1
James Argent 25/1

I agree with the safety thing and they will probably try to cover their own backs IMO
