I taped this last night so I could watch Lost. So is it the majority opinion here that its worth my time watching it this weekend?

I'm going to watch this show because I LOVE figure skating and enjoy shows like this, but I must say I am happy there are only 6 pairs because I don't think I would watch it much longer than that. I am so impressed with how far the "newbies" came, buy unlike dance, they will not progress very quickly in the few weeks that the show will be on. It was great to see all the skaters and it will be fun to see how everyone does each week.

I thought that Scott and Summer did a great job co-hosting the show. There wasn't alot of inane yakking and the pace was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to tune in next Monday. Lexie - watch your tape, you will love it!

Depends on how valuable your time is Lexie.

It was okay but I wouldn't describe it as tremendous entertainment. But I did like it.

I liked it...wasn't blown away...but it was entertaining.

I thought Todd Bridges routine was the most entertaining and Dave's routine was a bit stiff.

Jillian got cleavage points.

I wish some of these celebrity competative shows that require learning and training would not do eliminations. Instead, they should just keep track of the scores from the professional judges and then add them up for a winner at the end.
Or if not the actual scores, the placement scores (ie 8 points for first, 7 points for second, 6 points for third, etc) cause you are judged against your peers and some do better some weeks than others.
Still should end up with the best winning at the end, but no one is "eliminated" and the public isn't going to make it a popularity contest.

Kona, thank you for so perfectly stating what was a kinda cloudy thought in my mind.

I love "Skating" and I love "Dancing". And I just hate it when these people work their guts out and get eliminated.

I love your idea, Kona! That way, maybe the most improved could win something. Does seem kind of wrong to put someone like me (never ice-skated before) on the ice versus someone who seems to have quite a bit of previous experience (such as Jillian & Dave).
I loved Todd and his partner - guess I love seeing skaters overbalance/try to balance/almost fall. They had a lot of energy too.
Wow, I thought Dorothy H. looked mahvelous! Where is Dick Button? I think he'd be better than that Simon Cowell wannabe.
Overall though, I liked what I was able to see of this show (was flipping between that and NHL game, lol) and will tune in for the rest.

Blue, I agree that Dorothy looks as good as she did in '76 and her hair is still great! I remember about every girl in high school having her hairstyle after the Olympics!!

My dad was just saying the same thing last night -- just keep the scored cumulative and don't eliminate anyone. It certainly would make for a different show and would give everyone a chance to hone their dancing/skating skills. TV execs, are you listening??

ET had some of the stars on tonight and Tai said that her fiance David Brenner encouraged her to go on the show. Good for her!

still not sure how todd bridges got on here. sure, he got an acquittal, but that doesn't mean he was innocent of attempted murder charges.
all of the kids on 'diff'rent strokes' had such turbulent lives outside the series. coleman's adopted father robbed him blind, todd was all kinds of trouble, and dana plato committed suicide when she was only 34.
i am kind of enjoying this show--mostly dorothy hamill--but still wondering how todd got on here.

Tabby, it's obvious how Todd got on this show...he has been skating on thin ice for years!

LOL Huk!

To be fair, "acquitted" (not guilty) is all our legal system will allow, no one is found "innocent".
And Dana Plato OD'd accidentally, and some felt that her "boyfriend" was actually negligent in her death. Such a shame all around.

LOL also to those who keep referring to John Nicks as a "nobody" or "Simon Cowell wannabe". John Nicks is the top pairs coach in the US and has much more credibility in this sport than Simon has in the music industry! He coached both Tai and Randy and Meno and Sand. Oh, and you might have heard of his top female singles skater - SASHA COHEN.

huk, LOL!
alisons, i agree about 'acquitted', but repeated incidents don't spell 'celebrity' to me! seems like they dredged the pond for this show.
all that aside, i love ice skating and dorothy hamill (peggy fleming was my all time fave), so i'll continue to watch.

TV alert for Canadians. We are getting the second show tonight at 10pm due to election coverage tomorrow night. You may want to check your local listings for this show.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think it is still on the American channels tomorrow, but this makes it easier to record without conflicts.

I guess we should be careful not to "spoil" the show here for anyone watching in the States.
