I was flicking around tonight and came upon Cirque by chance, so I missed a bit of the start. Dwaine Chambers had just finished and Antonia Okonma was about to start, so here begins the round-up!

Antonia Okonma

Bad Girl actress Antonia took the bungee this evening, but the VT they ran didn’t show much confidence - she has a fear of heights and got motion sickness from the activity. The performance was a bit stilted, but she did a lengthy spin toward the end.

Phillip Gandey said “you looked tense, just let yourself go and you will be fantastic”. Louie Spence was less supportive “I found it a little bit uncomfortable, you over-rotated a lot…it was bad”.

Ritchie Neville

I haven’t seen old Ritchie since he was extracting money from teenage girls with the rest of 5ive. In fairness, he was selling records at the time…

Anyway, the VT sequence showed a very clumsy Ritchie, but his mascara-clad performance was a massive improvement - like one of those kids at school who claimed not to study, but aced exams because he was secretly swotting like crazy.

Doing the ‘balancing on a plank’ trick otherwise known as the roller roller, it wasn’t a bad performance. While Louie enjoyed the act, Phillip said “the whole act was dance, we had about 30 seconds and that was it”. Gaby rose to his defense though.

Stacey Cadman

Stacey is freakishly driven - she takes rigorous notes on each performance and says it’s not about getting the act right, it’s about exceeding the judges expectations. Tonight on the double-trapeze, she effortlessly worked through the routine with flair and precision…all with a smile on her face!

Gaby Roslin raved about the performance, saying she’d raised the bar. Louie gushed about her movement and Phillip was also positive - “the tricks were excellent, that slide to the leg catch was very daring…if you’re as good in a ground discipline then you’re a circus star in the making.”

Isabella Hervey

Still on the double trapeze, the cutest ‘IT girl’ in the show did an amazing job, if not quite as fluid as Stacey. Crass mark of the night goes to the commentator for “I wonder if she’ll be doing that move at her next dinner party…put me down for an invite!”

Phillip said that she needs to believe in herself, and Gaby echoed this. Louie was much more positive with an enthusiastic “ding-dong, well done!”

Dean Holdsworth

Dean returned to the show tonight after a technical error resulted in him being voted off - good choice of song The Boys Are Back In Town. I have to say, a far more confident and accomplished performance compared to Ritchie’s roller roller experience.

Louie and Phillip complimented Dean on being able to pull off a difficult trick, and Gaby was full of praise for his pizzazz.

Shane Lynch

When last we saw Shane Lynch, he was escaping Sophie Anderton’s advances on a tropical island. We’re big fans of Shane at Unreality TV, and we know he’s an intense and very capable guy.

Tonight, Shane took the bungee to the strains of Eminem. He was confident and flamboyant, and looked very professional. Gaby said that she was disappointed by the performance, and that she was left wanting more. Louie claimed it was a safe performance - more interesting than the others, but safe. Phillip felt it was unstructured and asked if Shane was actually following the advice given by the trainer.

Princess Tamara

Polish Princess Tamara took on the double trapeze with some beautiful choreography - there were some amazing moments during the performance. Another cracking comment - “The last time we saw royalty hanging like that was in the 16th century - but she’s doing it voluntarily!”

Phillip said “this evening you showed a confidence that was missing last week.” Gaby said it was very sexy. Louie complimented Tamara on an engaging performance.

Kyal Marsh

Neighbours actor Kyal showed confidence on the roller roller, going so far as to skip while balancing on the roller. He finished off by doing a hand stand!

Louie gushed about Kyal’s performance, saying that he couldn’t wait to “see what the boy from Down Under can come up with next week”. Wipe your mouth Louie, you’re drooling! Phillip praised him for standing out from the crowd. Gaby gave the soundbite - “absolutely sensational”.

Hannah Waterman

Hannah took the bungee, and she was in her element. Where Shane was strictly up and down, Hannah’s performance was much more experimental.

Despite being patchy in places, the judges were all full of praise for Hannah’s performance for being entertaining. Of all the contestants, she was the one who had all the audience chanting.
