It's all over bar the dancing (on ice, of course)
"Attwater told the buxom milkmaids who read Cosmopolitan magazine that he is cripplingly shy around women - the textbook boyband tactic, the equivalent of covering yourself in honey to attract mates. The women LOVE that drivel."
Saucy Sam knows how to get the voters' hearts pumping faster and that makes him a skated shoo-in for top honours in the 2011 Dancing On Ice, says Eliot Pollak
With that little-known awards ceremony, 'the Oscars', jamming up our tabloid newspapers, news from the ice rink this week, has been sparser than tourist buses in Libya. But in spite of all this, a momentum shift appears to have occurred. You can't touch it, you can't smell it, but man alive you can cop a feel.
Having wobbled of late, Sam Attwater appears to have played a cleverer game over the past few days, and stuck himself right back in the mix. In a most thrilling contrast, Attwater has counteracted his poise on the ice by floundering like a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest, whenever he opens his heart and talks women.
First we had the pretend romance, then some serious backtracking, now he's told the buxom milkmaids who read Cosmopolitan magazine that he is cripplingly shy around women - the textbook boyband tactic, the equivalent of covering yourself in honey to attract mates. The women LOVE that drivel.
Far be it from us to rain on the parade womenfolk, but as history will tell you, he's probably lying, and in fact, has a pop at anything that moves. No matter, Attwater is running away with this, [1.86] to win, and money placed elsewhere is simply money wasted.
The betting suggests that the firm favourite to come second is Laura Hamilton, who currently lies at [3.5] on the markets. Her appearance in the skate-off last week however, has very much put the Cat Deeley amongst the pigeons. For the bold punters out there, a little nibble at [12.0] for her to be out this week may be surprisingly shrewd. For the more conservative amongst you, LH is [1.2] to be top lass, and [1.56] in the 'without Attwater' market.
Elsewhere amongst the D on I riff-raff, classy gentleman Jeff Brazier took a pop at the various cast members of The Only Way is Essex, by suggesting that they don't accurately capture the fierce intellect of the place. Instead, insists Brazier, viewers should look to Stacey Solomon and Olly Murs. Because they aren't on television enough obviously.
We could go on and on discussing Chloe Madeley's overdose of fake tan or Vanilla Ice's tears after being given the shove on Sunday night, or we could even do a paragraph or two on Holly Willoughby's anaemia. But instead the last word to Holly, who speaking of her illness said, "It was really weird waking up Monday morning saying, 'I don't know who went out.'" Incidentally, the majority of the British public share those sentiments. Just without the 'really weird' bit.

KK's gone but there's a new vacant blonde for punters to back for success. Meanwhile, will the public forgive Sam? Elliot Pollack selects this week's best D on I bets....
'Fix' talk has filled the air since last week's skate-off and the public may take their anger out on la Katona, says Eliot Pollak...
