Dancing on Ice starts on Sunday

I thought Steph was undermarked- she did not put a foot wrong and to do what she did with a prosthesis is short of amazing.

Oti must have read comments about her dress attire- she was better presented tonight.

I can't understand when a judge praises someone's performance and says it was "perfect" and then only gives a 9. Ashley Banjo, I'm looking at you !

Yes, the right result again in the skate-off. I like Sally, but, as the weakest celebrity, it was her time to go.

Brendon is my favourite at the moment.

Feel rather sorry for Kai, (rather like I would feel if he were one of my own grandchildren!)

Yes, Sally is way behind the other skaters and both Bez and Sally should have gone before they did.

I was wincing when Regan was swinging that baseball bat around - also when Stef did the headbanger, which I hate. It almost seems like domestic violence to me. I know that's an exaggeration but I don't like seeing women thrown around.

Brendan is excellent but I have never warmed to him, even when he was on Strictly. I think Stef is amazing because she isn't a dancer and she's an inspiration because of her leg.

Poor Connor with another injury. He was doing so well too.

I loved the grace with which Sally departed. She and we all know it was her time to go.

What a great night tonight on DOI, I enjoyed watching all the couples, shame anyone had to leave.
I think that next week's semi-final will be a double elimination.
Who will they be? or is it a foregone conclusion?

WOW !!!! What a show this evening. Spectacular skating and music. Loved it. I loved Brendan's skate and also Kimberley's. I know Regan also got 4 x 10s but I thought his skate was less exciting.

What did everyone think?

I thought the one who went home should have stayed but tbh it all seemed vey close

I agree.

Another great show. Yes, I do think the wrong one went home.
Brendan was excellent and Regan, I like him more and more each week.

They're all rather good by now. I do hope that Brendan and Vanessa win.

As 2 will be eliminated next week, I'm guessing it will be Kye and Connor, and then it will be a very exciting final between Brendan, Kimberley and Regan - each of them totally brilliant.

Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, the young couple of ice skaters dancing while the votes were being counted, were terrific, weren't they?

yes they were amazing and I agree with you re who will be left!

Loved the show tonight. I feel Brendan is still a little above the others but all gave great entertaining performances. Oh wow, Lilah and Lewis!

Great to watch the semi-final tonight.
The professional skaters work hard & gave a super performance, I was really pleased to see Dan in that.
No real surprise at the two voted off, but didn't they all do well?

I look forward to the final in two weeks time.

What fantastic skating tonight. As Chris said, any one of them could be in the final. It really has been a terrific series with an extremely high standard of skating.

Anyone else watching?

Oh! I forgot that Phillip managed well, without Holly!

Fabulous show tonight. I loved seeing Dan Whiston in the opening routine too.
Right result tonight. I like Regan more and more, what a lovely young man.

I’m very disappointed with DOI. I don’t think it’s fair that they have trained dancers competing against complete novices. I know they say ‘oh skating is a different skill etc’. However, the novices have to learn two new skills - skating AND dancing, whereas the trained dancers only have to learn one - skating. The trained dancers’ performance element is bound to be more impressive! As soon as this new series started, I predicted that the final would be … Regan, Brendan & Kimberley; the 3 trained dancers. Guess who’s in the final!!! All a bit predictable and unfair, IMO. The contestants should be, either, all dancers or no dancers - a level playing field would present a much more interesting journey, and a better programme all round. Used to love DOI but gone completely off it now.

I agree LizzieDrip, it is unfair..... but if every contestant was like Bez, no one would want to watch.

I also agree with you Lizzie. Didn't Brendon fall, I was thinking he had blown his chances.

Oo, I don’t know! If every contestant was like Bez, it might be genuinely more entertaining Seriously though, if every contestant started out like Bez, it would become clear who was improving the most as the programme developed. I suppose I’m looking at, what is essentially a light entertainment show, through the eyes of serious competition - need to stop don’t I

I couldn't stand watching Bez and used to go and put the kettle on.

I suppose it depends on why you watch the programme. I watch it to be wowed by amazing skating routines firstly, but also to see how people improve, but found it frustrating when Bez and Sally stayed in but other better skaters were voted out.

Anyone watching tonight? Great routines so far.

You can see the 3 Celebs have benefitted from having 2 weeks to practice since the last show. Splendid skating from all 3.
Would like to see Regan win.
