I've noticed that tonight's show is billed between 7.10 and 8.10pm.
The following two Saturdays are also billed as one-hour shows.
So what is going to happen in the extra 15-minutes I wonder?

I can't really see the general format changing too much, there will have to be another AD break which will take 2-3 mins up, the rest of the time could be taken showing more interaction with the other contestants and perhaps the audience. We know that the shows take up to 2 hours or more to film, so there is a lot of the recording that we don't get to see.

It's going up against the final of the ice dancing on ITV tonight so it will be interesting to see how the viewing figures compare to recent weeks.

If there will indeed be three adbreaks, where will they go? We're so used to breaks before or after the eighth and fourteenth boxes now.

I predict a break after the first offer is rejected, then one before the third offer, then one before the seventeenth box (the last before the fifth offer) is opened. I'll probably be totally wrong.

I think I'm going to miss it.

Yeah, i'm so annoyed with that, because i watch em both, but i'm gonna have to pick dond...i'm getting a 'sam' vibe for today...

watch ice dancing on itv2 tomorrow methinks

I really like Sam, but I hope she's on for a bit longer yet so I still have four favourite contestants.

Well nothing should be changed at all, It takes them around 90 minutes to film one show. (Its trimmed down to 45 for TV) so all they have to do is trim to 60 minutes instead of 45.

i'm gonna enjoy this one more probably now. seems like 45 mins goes so fast...
