Poor old Melinda, doesn's she have a thread of her own yet? On tonight's performance, I think she deserves one. Sadly, people seem to feel she doesn't have the fan base to survive, but Melinda you impressed me tonight, well done!
I thought Melinda came across very well - and skated much, much better in the dance off. What I didn't like about her was her eye make-up - it looked like her eyes were nearly shutting under the weight of it all.

Agreed, though I was sad to see Gemma go so early; and I also agree about the make-up. I didn't think it was flattering and it must have been hard to wear. In Zoe Salmon's case it looked like she had radioactive bats perching on her eyelids.

That's the problem with these competitions, poor skaters/dancers etc. get through based on the fact that they are/have been soap stars or pop singers. I'm not saying she's the best skater, but she shouldn't have been in the bottom two.
Well if she ends up in the bottom two for the next few weeks - the judges would save her agianst a fair few of the others (she would probably win against Todd, Coleen, Donal or Roxanne....)
I think Melinda should have gone over Gemma. Melinda was far from stable on her feet and basically pushed and dragged around by Fred much like Coleen was. Best thing about Melinda's routine was the jump.

I've just watched this again and Melinda was pretty good on the ice.
I thought Gemma looked really unsteady on the ice. I thought Melinda was better than Roxanne, Gemma and Coleen
i thought she skated quite will, and she came across much better than i thought she would. thought she'd be one of those people you just can't warm to but she seems quite nice.
