It definitely doesn't have the spark of the previous series, but it definitely seems to be very contentious, especially with the continual voting for Lemar plus the fact that Donna Air never gets criticised for never skating on her own yet Cheryl Baker comes under constant fire. Have to say I do admire Cheryl for giving it a go. To start skating at 63 takes a lot of guts, and she's definitely trying hard, but I do wonder if she's a victim of her and her partner's popularity as she could stay in for quite some time.
I think the smaller ice surface plus the poor routines, wild lighting effects, random use of props and no set skills means this may be the last series. Such a shame as it used to be great.
