Reading the interviews its even more balanced with people in and out of practice balanced too. Clare and Kyran evidentally skate once a week together with the others having not skated for varying times. Duncan is at the other extreme not doing last year's tour either.

Clare might well be the best female skater now, since she seems to practise more than Suzanne.

good article on Christmas special with pics !!

Someone must have been at it !!!!! The Christmas special. Give us a sneak peak of how it all went !! Cant wait for Christmas day.

Loving the Christmas skating outfts.

Holly's certainly blooming!

Boobies.

Those are boobies, Holly.

Suzanne's is vile!

I meant the female professionals

Doesn't Clare usually skate with Andrei, not Pavel?

Arrrgh i love Pavel




I forgot how nice his accent is as well

It's so great to have DOI back on TV, can't wait for the new series! I thought Duncan & Maria were really good, but I preferred Clare's routine and I loved the colour of her outfit

Yes he must be doing something else.

Jason's mark was absurd - it just kept the boys in the race. Zaarah was Duncan's pair so either she has to get much more than you would expect or the boys will pull back the 1.5 easily.

Me too .

No, no, no, no, no! *starts sobbing*

I thought we got away from the mark debates with the end of SCD...obviously not.

yeah this was the first thing i noticed when she skated on at the beginning

anyone noticed Karan?!?! she's clearly had a face lift...she looks ten years younger

She's looking really good, so is Ruthie. I like her hair longer.

Chris and Jayne's routine was so lovely, they're amazing.

THis is what always bothered me about Chris and why ultimately he didn't win. I never felt like he was dancing with Frankie. It was either Frankie chasing Chris, or Chris chasing Frankie, or Frankie dancing next to Chris, or Frankie watching Chris dance, or Chris picking up Frankie... I never actually got the feeling of "Chris is dancing with Frankie".

I was just thinking the same thing. Watching them, it seems to chris its more like its a race and who can get faster. He is a very good skater but i like more partner stuff, it looks better.

And whats with him painting his face

i'm sorry but it really doesn't look good IMO

Oh, I see .

The next season begins Sunday 11th January with thirteen celebrities taking part .

I cannot wait!

Chris is very very good, was a bit surprised at the two 6.0's though I spotted a stumble or two

So far I've preferred the Team Torvill routines, hope they win!

That was not a 6 performance. He put his hand down on the ice at one point, and his timing was off in several places.
