Why they persist with the split launch and split skate off where one contestant gets a week to prep and one gets two minutes I don't know. The launch show leaves you feeling short changed as a result.

Strictly learnt their lesson, as I remember back in the days when Brucie was host, they split the launch, but usually over two consecutive nights, not over two weeks if I remember right - better having a full launch show.

The reason DOI can't or won't do one launch show, is that with the amount of ad breaks, their launch show would run until 9pm and drag on for a long time.
