Dancing on Ice 2009

[Marian]

Anyone watch last night? I think they are quite an interesting group of celebs this time. Unfortunately due to the darts final I missed the main show and just recorded the results show which I saw this morning.

Yes I watched it--very entertaining--but Todd Carty should have gone.

Ray Quinn was amazing--is there nothing that he cannot do--he won an award for acting at a very young age--lots of Dancing Medals---2nd in x-factor--and on track for winning the Ice Skating-before the girls have even danced. He is favourite at the moment.

All the girls seem really young-apart from Colleen, who is I am sure the oldest-and I think she may go first, as she did not sound very confident.

[Marian]

I remember Ray Quinn as a young disturbed boy in "Brookside".

That is the programme and role for which he won a Tv award--as best child actor, as I recall.

[Marian]

Looks like Todd Carty will now become the 'John Sargeant' of Dancing on Ice, and Ray Quinn looks like being the winner already.
I thought Melinda did well last night after being in the skate off last week though.

[Marian]

Well he didn't last as long as John I don't think but at least he was voted out fairly and was good entertainment for a few weeks. Bye Todd!

I do not think it is completely goodbye to Todd, as he has been signed up for the "Dancing on Ice " tour.

I think I have figured out why he became so popular--everyone at home watching, would see him skate and think---"That is exactly how I would be on the Ice"--or in my case I would not even be able to stand up.

Some of the others make it look so easy, and Todd has reminded evereyone that it is not !!!!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Jason said he could see Todd being carried out in a body bag
Mind you that humorous disappearance Todd performed was perfectly judged right near to the tunnel...a fantastic Norman Wisdom skit... Brilliant

I guess a lot of people thought so-Philip said it had 1.5 million hits on Youtube in a week.

[Marian]

Well it was the final last night and a worthy winner in Ray. He was the very best from the beginning and I was really pleased he won.
I thought Jessica would have come second, but Donal had had such a terrific journey and had lots of fans so I suppose he deserved his 2nd position too.
Marian

[mariana44]

It would have been a travesty if Ray had not won last night-especially after getting 2 sets of perfect marks.

I think Donal was a good second--Jessica was very good--but not quite exciting enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series, and especially the final show last night.

[Sandra]

Yes it was a great final and a smashing series.Sunday night will not be the same until 'Strictly' starts on a Saturday night.
Has anyone ever been to either the skating or dancing 'live' tours?
Did anyone ever buy the Ray Quinn debut CD after the X Factor?
A bit raw but a great selection of songs.

[mariana44]

Yes, I bought the Ray Quinn cd--I was surprised to learn that he has been dropped by his record company. I bet they are regretting that decision now, with the high profile that Ray has now.
