Skating With Celebrities

I'm not the only one watching this garbage, am I?

Who'da thought Jillian Barbarie would've found her niche ice skating? I was thinking it'd involve stilettos and a pole.

I am too.

She is quite good, she skated as a child too.

I am rather impressed by a lot of the celebrity skating ability as a whole.

Is Nancy Kerrigan preggo?

She started as a skater. Not fair, she's a ringer. If you lived in Los Angeles you could have heard her talk about it ad nausem on Good Day LA. God how I hate that show.

I can't tell if Kerrigan is pregnant or not. She looked sorta chunk around the middle during their practice, but looked pretty slim during the actual performance.

And WTF happened to Bruce Jenner's face? His nose is all pointy now and he looks waxy.

Bruce ruined his face with lots of PS.

I was curious how Coulier would do because he's played ice hockey for years. Another with an unfair advantage.

I could be mistaken, but I think all of the competitors have some kind of background in skating....

Laurent · January 25th, 2006, 05:21 PM

Yeah, I heard Debbie, er, Deborah, trying to defend her skating by saying she'd never picked up a pair of skates until a month or so ago.

Coulier's ice hockey past may not be helping much. He and Kerrigan were thisclose to getting booted this week. They were only saved because Todd Bridges fell during their routine.

Anyone else still watching?

The finale is next Monday (Feb. 20) between Jillian Barbarie & Kristy Swanson.
Bruce Jenner and his creepy Michael Jackson nose finally went home this week.

I keep missing this show damn it. I forget its on Mondays and then when I do remember its over and 24 is on.
Who are you hoping wins Laurent?

Laurent · February 15th, 2006, 01:52 AM

I'd like to see Kristy Swanson win. Jillian Barbarie already knew how to skate and it doesn't seem fair to have her out there wanting to do triple axels against someone who just learned to skate. Plus, Kristy seems like she's really trying harder and wants it more, since she split her chin open trying some crazy death spiral move.

Did you happen to see the pairs skating on Monday night on the Olympics? The pair from China I was sure it was over for them when the lady didnt land her jump and she went splat on the ice. You know it had to hurt. One leg went behind her the other went out to the side like she was doing the splits. But the ended up getting the bronze medal. They did make up for it. AMAZING

Laurent · February 15th, 2006, 02:01 AM

Yes, I did see that! It was horrible. I don't know how she didn't knock her knee out of socket. I can't imagine how much it must've hurt to land on your girl parts, either. She never flinched though! I thought they ended up winning silver, but I might've been mistaken?

Personally, I think the Russian pair won based primarily on tradition and not so much their skating, because I wasn't really impressed with them.

SammysMom · February 15th, 2006, 02:05 AM

I could not stand the way the Russian chick was looking, just so full of herself. You are so right about them winning the silver. I knew they came in second and for some reason I was thinging bronze maybe cause Im watching the recap of the days events. I dont know if you are old enough to remember Torvall and Dean from the 1980's. I loved them.

Laurent · February 15th, 2006, 02:21 AM

Yep, I remember them! I liked them too. They were pretty theatrical, even for figure skating.

SammysMom · February 17th, 2006, 09:55 AM

Has anyone heard about Kristy Swanson and her partner like having an affair?
