Agree best performers and that Sean did so well (he looked soooo nervous at the start of the programme.
Hope Andi gets another chance. |

Hi Ice fans!
Is there any reason that this forum is pink? Thought that I would see what DS users had to say on tonights performances... I have a quick question... I generally despise TV tallent shows and competitions but since I am passionate about Ice Skating so I am watching this to the end. Can anyone tell me please whether the format of the programme the judges the scoring and the presentation etc is based on other shows such as strictly come dancing, X factor, soapstar superstar, or any of the other talent based programmes? I have never seen any of them and I am curious to know how unique the presentation of this series actually is. Thanks! PS Emailed the mods to see if Dancing on Ice can get its own forum section anyone in agreement try and do the same

Have to say digimon, I'm surprised as a skating fan that you didn't watch SCD. All my skating friends were absolutely hooked on it. The two disciplines do after all share a lot of factors, eg two people working together, fitness, performance, interpretation, and perhaps most important the sheer joy of dance. |

Nah, not really into talent type TV
Skating yes, but competition by phone in No. |

Did my eyes deceive me, or did PS already have the results in his hands before the phone lines had closed???
Isn't the show live supposedly? |

Isn't the show live supposedly? Digimon - another difference from SCD- a screaming crowd! Probably as there are more "real" punters there and a younger audience. |

The. idea of a dance-off - down to the judges - seems a fairer idea than SCD.

Don't you think that the public - for all good reason - are biased towards 'favourites' rather than skills shown.
I, for one, wouldn't dream of judging on the ice skating as I don't think I know enough about the technical side. |

The dance-off is a great idea and at least gives a better chance of the good skaters staying in. The public have enough power to save people, especially in these early stages, so I think it's only fair that the judges have the final say on the bottom 2, because the best couple will almost always be saved (and let's face, when down to the public, that doesn't tend to happen

Well, with the bottom two tonight, the judges definately chose the technically better skater already. It'll probably become more relevant as the weeks go on, like it did in SCD.
Plus don't forget, part of ice skating has always been favoritism, I know I suffered under it for years in my skating days (i.e. I'd get marks deducted just because I was from the 'wrong' club and town!) ... |

I, for one, wouldn't dream of judging on the ice skating as I don't think I know enough about the technical side. The larger public may then offer a fairer result as there is a complete mix of opinions and things that make them tick

Why do they get less than a minute for their routine? I counted one couple at 45 seconds!
Will the amount of time they skate get more as the show goes on and fewer contestants? It must do! The length of the programme is the same ? |

The first show did a good enough job to keep me watching and FANTASTIC to see Torvill and Dean again.
Sean was a big surprise and John was great. Will carry on watching but the big drawback is the adbreaks, I HATE the ad breaks. And I miss Len's one liners. But maybe if they can relax more into the format and we get to know the people better it'll improve. The ITV are such robbers, they nicked a celeb (Seaman) the format, and also 2 of the songs 'You're beautiful' and 'A little less conversation'!! |

The contestants chose their songs its nothing to do with ITV
ITV will pay royalties if they are played for a certain length of time |

I watched it - but was petrified someone was going to injure themselves!
Did drag on too long though, perhaps could have had less couples! Enjoyed John ,Sean and Bonni also Stefan and Gaynor's (the 2nd time) The girls costumes were a disappoint - but Tamara's was hilarious! shame she isn't in for next week to see what they would put her next week for pure comic entertainment (and to see Sergei !) |
