The bookies were hopeless. Agree about Melinda. Not sure if Gemma was worse than Roxanne at all but Melinda would have to stay over either unless they pulled it out in a dance off. Gemma and roxanne may have potential but they have had weeks to get further.
Ray and Jessica start with the obvious advantage of knowing how to skate and being musical and dance trained. Ray has a size problem as I can't see him lifting much. Jessica should have been as good as a Claire or a Suzanne but wasn't and I am not sure there's any charisma lurking in there either.
Zoe is good but I don't see how Matt can do an overheard lift or a headbanger or any of the wow moves when she's taller than him and too long for a headbanger. Girls need wow factor to match male speed.
Ellery is big enough to do lifts but not sure he is artistic/musical/ enough or quick enough over the ice or can move his feet fast enough to get near to Ray.
Looks like they found a bunch that had no really great high performers in it and then added two experienced people to give it quality but too little competition. Unless of course Gemma stays and improves a lot , Melinda has real potential and Matt finds some way of getting wow allowing for Zoe's height.........
