Are they trying too hard to make Todd funny?

His routine on Sunday was far from entertaining and the 'swimming' was just very embarrassing ....... I just thought please Todd get up and stop making a fool of yourself.

His comedy caper the previous week was spontaneous and funny, but this was just rather naff, felt for the other celebs who were at least trying.

I can't believe that he is as bad as he is. I remember seeing pictures in the papers last October/November of him skating at Ally Pally in readiness for SOI ..... how can he be so bad after spending 3 months on the ice?

I don't skate that often, takes me 10 minutes to find my feet and let go of the side, after half an hour I'm whizzing round, and I'm sure if I had skates on every day for three months I may become not bad at it. Todd on the other hand seems that he can barely skate off the ice without wobbling and a helping hand. It's a bit pathetic, come on Todd, show us you can really skate.

It really isn't funny anymore. The man has no skating ability and is becoming an embarrassment IMHO.

Todd cant skate, fact.

Not everyone can skate even if they practice for years. T & D made a big mistake with the routine they gave him. They were trying to make him look funny to compensate for his lack of abiity, all it did was make him look silly which is not the same thing.

He wasnt faking, it takes a great deal of skill to act the clown, something he just doesnt have, He is skating on stiff legs, on both edges at once which means he has little balance and no forward momentum. I wonder what his pro partner really thinks.

If you are going to clown around properly on ice you would need to be really in control of everything, balance, control, coordination, speed and have loads of self confidence. It is harder to be the clown than to skate normally.

Has Todd peaked ”

Was looking for a thread regarding this

Last week I thought Todd was hilarious, me and my kids were rolling about laughing but this week was just cringeworthy and none of us laughed, I'd have been happy to see Todd stay if he made me genuinely lol but it seems downhill all the way for him now in my opinion so yeah I'd say he peaked way to soon

I more or less agree with all you say and clowns should make us laugh but all I felt was embarrasment for Todd

I think his partner looks a bit snooty and very cheesed off with the whole thing.

I got that impression too. She must realise that she and Todd have no chance of making the Final.
