If there is any justice, and if the viewing public actually put their glasses on...................

yes she will be out next week.

It'd be nice because the competition would be thrown wide open but I want Kelly to go before her!

just want to add that i would like bonnie out as well although i feel i must also add that i have never been a fan of ms langford and have a bizarre desire to throw things at the tv when she is on

However when you are a light as she is and an complished dancer then it must be incredibly easy for your gorgoeus fit partner to pick you up and sling you around! Thought that part of the routine was magnificant (but he was doing all the work imo) and when her skates were on the ice it was all over the place, stumbles here & there.

I hope she goes next week as it will make for a very interesting competition. I also thought Gaynor was good tonight and liked David's & Stefan's -bless him- routine's and felt for him when he fell at the end but was so pleased he wasnt in the skate off, makes a nice change

It isn't going to happen as this competition mixes ice dancing with pairs skating to get maximum entertainment but I would like them to have a week where no lifts are allowed at all - where the celebrity skaters have to skate the whole routine - that way we will be able to see who can skate now and who is just relying on their partner to carry them round.

As I say though I expect the programme makers would think that wouldn't be so entertaining and therefore wouldn't do it but I would love to see that.

Exactly what I had been thinking Maddi.

Was also wondering if they could make the compulsory element a longer section of freeskating totally on their own with maybe a couple of jumps at the end of it. That would sort them out.

I too think it would be a really great idea to have a skate only performance. I don't think Bonnie would be the only one to suffer if that was the case. The best two skaters imo have gone - I believe that was Sean and John. It would be really interesting to see the others have a go. With so few left, they could have two dances next week!

won't happen. Even if no-one voted for her next week and she was in the skate-off, the judges would put her through anyway. For that reason, I am not voting for anyone on this show because its clear from the start the Bonnie is the favourite to win. If I remember correctly, one of the judges said that the Bonnie was so good that she could compete in the European Championships!

Unlikely as they are skating a cross between pairs & ice dance

On today's teatime show she was asked by a member of the public if she could skate as well on the ice as off the ice. A tactful way of saying can you keep your feet on the ice instead of being thrown about. Her reply was that she could skate very well and it was because she was skating so much faster than the others (and doing much harder moves) that it gave the impression that she wasn't skating much. Work that one out??????

I'd pay good money to see that! Not only should lifts be banned but no guidance from the men - no being pulled around by one leg. etc.

Of the evicted skaters John and Sean could have done it - they did a lot of solo skating anyway. Of those still in it only Stefan and David could bring it off. The men have had to get used to alone - but the females? Gaynor would be the best, but none of them spend as much time on the ice as the men.

BRING IT ON.

Despite popular opinion I'm not convinced Bonnie is such a hot favourite. O.K. the judges constantly put her at the top of the leader board but we don't know the order of the public vote, thus we don't know where she finishes overall.

In Strictly Come Dancing Zoe Ball was top of the leader board week after week, it was only as the number of couples dwindled that, what many of us suspected, became clear. The public didn't like her.

We could see Bonnie in the skate off quite soon! Accompanied by Kelly - I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven.

yeah but the problem with the current set up - though i suspect it will have to change when we get down to the last 3 couples - is that the judges have the final say and the way they are judging bonnie she'd have to fall at least a couple of times to not get put through...i mean she nearly fell at least 3 times on saturday and nobody saw the required element but they still marked her 2nd
