Dancing on Ice

So, the festive season is now officially over and we are firmly within the new year. 2010, and all its potential, lay before us and this can mean only one thing. Yep, Dancing on Ice is back.

Dancing on Ice is very much a guilty pleasure of mine, and one of the few things that ITV produce that I will watch live. I am not sure what it is about the show that attracts me to it. It could be the lovely male ice skaters with their delightfully tight pants and revealing costumes. It could be the combination of music and dance to produce delightfully entertaining routines. Or it could be the fact that we have celebrities on ice with razor sharp blades on their feet - it is literally dancing with death.

First week is over and it was ladies night, with the lads strutting their stuff next week. From what I have seen so far I think that it will be a very tight competition. 2009 gave us the wonderful Ray Quinn, who from his first performance was clearly far superior to any of the other contestants. This year I am not sure that we have a presumptive champion. There are a couple that have the potential, but as will anything they could be cut down before their prime (just like Sinitta this week).

Hopefully after the lads premiere performances next week I shall be able to make some predictions on who I think will be in this years final.
