What I learned from BOTB last night …

i liked the beat, i'll give it a 5.6

1. My apologies to Pants, you wont need to become a Canadian citizen to ice dance with Sid because this season they have graciously allowed a US judge, JR, AND a Russian couple – Valerie Bure and Ekaterina Gordeeva – she’s the only figure skater I had ever heard of. I would predict that they would win this because they simply blew everyone else way with technique. chemistry and movement, but there is no way in h-e-double hockey sticks that Canada is going to let a Russian couple walk away with the title for their highest rated show. And since the couples are voted on by both the judges and the audience, it will be a Canadian couple that wins – Sorry Valerie but you are a hottie-boom-ba-lottie! You can ice dance with me any time!

he dances like the wind

2. The Canadians have engineered some kind of Austin Powers figure skating fembot because these chicks either have some kind of death wish, are on death row and being forced to participate or have already been dropped on their heads so many times they don’t know any better because there is no way in hell I would let any of these guys touch me let alone throw me in the air or twirl me like a swizzle stick in a cocktail – many of which I am sure they are still throwing back! (OK – except for Valerie … move over Ovi …. yes, I just said that!)

3. Theo Fleury is the Mickey Rourke of Ice Dancing with his guyliner and black fingernail polish. I can’t believe I just wrote that but I did. And you know what, he looked kind of hot and he skated well. His program wasn’t as hard as some of the others but his presentation was great.

no guyliner here ...

4. Georges Laraques did an awesome job and is my sentimental favorite for pure heart, lovability and the fact that JR said he had the biggest a** on figure skates!

yoga butt is good!

5. Which brings me to JR, you just never know what is going to come out of his mouth from out right flirting with the figure skaters – particularly the Russian cutie to telling everyone oh, wait that’s #6.

6. When they started to announce the guest the judge, Mr. Cherrie started to go into apoplectic shock and I knew what was coming because there is only one man who can cause that kind of anger in Mr. Cherrie. I had to put a pillow over his head and sit on him but that didn’t stop the hockey Tourette’s that spewed forth about how Brett Hull cheated to win the Stanley Cup for the next hour and half. JR announced to everyone that after his wife had met Brett Hull she was so smitten with him she made him name their son after him. Really? OK, I may have to take back everything I said about JR in my last post. Being sensitive is one thing, being PW’d is another and then admitting it on national TV is just plain well, I am so tragically devastated I can’t even go there. Or maybe they have an open marriage and their son really is Brett Hull’s.

7. Next week I predict a caribou or musk ox as the guest judge. It’s Canada … They gave us BOTB! Why not?

i can ice dance like nobody's business!

  1. I’m voting for this guy: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/22697601

    Saw this in ’04 with my dad on our cross country road trip. He went into the men’s room, then came back out yelling, “Shannon, you gotta see this!” Everyone in the store was like “WTF?” until I went in and started howling.

      That would have totally creep me out … we should make a hockey horror movie with that guy as the killer! But use Theo as the red herring/hero!
