Dancing On Ice, Steve Backley Voted Off
Another great weak of skating, which culminated in Steve and Zaara being in the the skate off. Zaara is actually great so I can only think its her relative obscurity - she had a small role in Corrie - which led to her being bottom two. Paired up with the lovely Fred, they performed again. Fred, as much as I like him, seems only capable of one expression - that of a slight simpleton, smiling for no particular reason. In fact his smile was only lost when he appeared to be held in a choking old by Zaara’s thighs.
Gareth was very good this week, and his unique move was great - far better than Chris’ lazy effort called the “worm” which wasn’t very unique and wasn’t well executed. Chris got great marks again but really it seemed a little too ragged this week and there was one part where his partner seemed to goto grab his leg and it just wasn’t there.
Greg was simply Greg. Jason said he had the “charisma of cardboard” which was perhaps a little bit harsh. He also said he would quit the show if Greg was in the final, which probably helped Greg no end.
I think the judge Nicky has cottoned onto Jason’s trick. Give the lowest mark you can and you’ll be called to talk more, and probably get a pay rise. I think Nicky has his eye on that centre chair for next series!
