Maybe it's you who's had a few too many!
Don't worry, you've got the ruby slippers near you as protection - mind you quite how you get the one Toto os drinking out of his paws is different matter altogether!
Those flying monkeys were flipping scary!!
Almost as bad as the Child Catcher in Chitty.
**shudder**

lol just because I live in wine country doesn't mean I'm permanently on the sauce - but the thought of Todd doing a paso could certainly encourage me to find a bottle and a corkscrew; it would be the only way to cope!

I'd have to get my husband to hit me over the head with the bottle!
...but only after we'd emptied it!

There seem to be a number of people who are keen to wreck DOI for both the viewers and the contstants.
Why bother to train yjust go on flounder around on the ice and people will voter for you. Might just as well cut out the weeks of training and falls and just do it the easy way, just do something silly

Must admit I find it hard to believe Todd trains all week and then skates as badly as he does - it looks like he's hardly trained at all imho. His performance is the level you or I could be at after a day or so training, especially if you can hold on to your partner all or most of the time.

No lock Todd in - I want to see the others skate!

Totally agree with this.
He can't even skate backwards on his own yet and he's supposed to have been training 5-6 hours a day since October. I think NOT

Exactly. He's not at all comfortable on the ice. I wonder if there is something going on we don't know about. I don't mean a conspiracy theory kind of thing. It is just that sometimes with this kind of show we find out afterwards there was a reason for something - like Gillian Taylforth's bad knee when she was eliminated from SCD.

Someone mentioned a few days ago that Todd had a bad ear infection last year and they speculated that perhaps it might have had a long lasting effect on his balance?
Alternatively, perhaps he just can't skate very well

That's the sort of thing I'm thinking of. Something he may not want to share in case people think he is looking for the sympathy vote. I don't doubt he is trying, but I just feel there has to be a reason he is SO bad at just moving on the ice, let alone 'dancing' on it after all this time.

To be fair, Todd has never even hinted at that himself and nor has anyone else connected with DOI. It was just speculation on the part of forum members here on DS.
oh gawd, I just had to re- read those last few posts to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me..
I hope I don't smell a Get Out Of Jail Free card there... you know, one which some will twist into a Todd Was Robbed scenario if he did have to withdraw.
Oh no, I don't think I have the strength to go through it again!

I'm definitely speculating - I have nothing to base my comments on other than Todd on the ice.
