LOL. Saying Johnny "has issues" or is "an immature egomaniac" is the understatement of the decade!

Personally, I don't think Bethany's skating is that bad. I know I couldn't do as good as she does. I hope she shows up that little twit Johnny and wins the whole thing. These judges are all nuts.

The worst part of the show are the judges and the host. It could have had possibilities but as it is now, yup, it should not be renewed.

The problem as I see it is that skating requires a beginning skill - ice skates/hockey skates... I think most people see maybe on the Today show or Chicago's ice rinks with people skating, so it cant be that "hard" -

I know having raised 2 boys that played hockey there was always the joke that Hockey players do it on a 1/4" blade of steel ON ICE - that truly they need the speed of a basketball player, the physical game of Football and of course strategy of billiards - all while on that think blade of steel-

So, to think that you can teach an amateur actor how to dance - to me, that is comparable to their jobs to learn something for the movie...

Can you imagine a "Rodeo with the Stars" (lol Circus of the Stars just came to mind) with a star that has never even been on a horse?

So yes, I give kuddos to those that want to appear on TV with this show, but there is a danger aspect with that blade of steel, and the concussion aspect of falling...

so, for the judges not to factor that in is ridiculous (start with the lowest score is going to be a 5, seriously no one is going to attain ajudges perfect 10 here )

Well to be truly fair, too, they should've picked people with much the same skill level. Even more so that DWTS. You've got Bethenny who's never skated against Rebecca who was a teen star.

But yes, get rid of the judges. They are ridiculous.

Wow, Weir<77> says something nice to Bethanny and is harsh on Johnny. And wow-o-wow,
***spoiler***


Mosely is voted off.

That's what the judges get for giving Mosely such undeserved high marks. Having said that, I want Rebecca to win.

Would she have had a better chance against Mosely or Bethenny. Does anyone have a chance against these votes?

Wow! That's a total shocker. I thought Mosley and Rebecca would be in F2. Just goes to show that all of Weir's snarky comments backfired on him. Bethenny has a much bigger fanbase than he thought (or than Jill Zarin told him). And they rose up and defended her! (I even voted last week and I *never* vote!)

I loved Bethenny's song and I thought she did way better tonight!

But I really think that these shows that let the viewer's votes count so much aren't well thought out. Seriously, everyone was basically saying (without saying) "Bethenny sucked compared to Johny Moseley". How can anyone come out of that feeling good? Even some of us Bethenny fans know that she should have gone home.

I found myself smiling throughout Bethenny's routine. Maybe it was the song, maybe it was because she also smiled through the whole thing like she was so genuinely happy. Anyway, I enjoyed it.

Bit tricky tonight, I'd have liked both Rebecca and Mosley to go through, but tonight's result is the sort of thing that happens when you don't have good judges, and I have to admit being a bit satisfied with the result for that reason.

I enjoyed Bethenny's skate. She seemed much more relaxed and did totally look like she enjoyed herself.

I'm thinking Mr Weir got himself a talking to, after last week's rude comments.

And I dunno if Bethenny just has that many more fans or if the judges' comments from last week caused more people to vote for her, but... it sure did backfire on the judges, didn't it? And both Mosley and his pro had stunned looks when it was announced they were leaving. (Also, apparently the producers never informed the skaters of the "last dance" thing and the two had no clue what to do.)

You've got Bethenny who's never skated

She's never skated? I know she was an avid rollerblader.

I was thinking the same thing, Costacat. He couldn't have been nicer to her last night and tonight.

I'd still like Rebecca to win. She is the best and I hope even Bethenny fans can see that.

I've been ice skating since I was 5.

I suck at roller skating. I mean, really, really suck.

They are completely different.

However, when I first tried skiing at age 21, I found that I picked it up very quickly, due to the similarities.

That's what I'd heard, Keldogg, that ice skating and roller skating are very different. I used to roller skate every Friday and Saturday nights when I was a teen (back when the rinks were the hangouts for us "hoodlums" lol), and for me there's a big difference between traditional skates and roller blades, much less ice skates. My brother couldn't roller skate, but was a blur on ice.
It was on tonight? Had a 'homework intervention' with my daughter and didn't even have the TV on. What did they do tonight?

Bluejaxrock, tonight was the finale. It's over.


Rebecca got all 10s in both categories for total of 60 pts, and Bethenny did well but not all 10s like Rebecca got. Bethenny got 51 pts total.


It was left up to public vote.

Rebecca won the big golden skates trophy, Bethenny came in second.

thanks for the update Naja -

Didnt TBTB learn anything from Idol? The judges quickly realized seasons ago that if they (usually Simon) are really harsh (Sanjaya maybe?) that the public votes keep them in the contest...

I'm not so sure it was left up to the public vote. With Rebecca's perfect score, Bethenny had a 10 point deficit to make up.

Can you imagine a "Rodeo with the Stars" (lol Circus of the Stars just came to mind) with a star that has never even been on a horse?

It's been done, sorta. A few years back, on CMT, they had Ty Murray’s Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge. Ty is a huge champion bull rider (and husband to singer Jewel). Among the "celebrities" were Leif Garrett, Stephen Baldwin, Francesco Quinn, and American Gladiator "Nitro". The celebs were definitely out of their element. I believe Leif left the show (it was too hard for him) and Stephen Baldwin, I think, left with injury. It was not a great show - apparently bull riding is much harder work than any of these celebs thought it would be. (duh!!) LOL

Did the judges ratings from the final night count toward elimination? At that point they would have known the viewers votes, so all they needed to do was give Rebecca a 60, and then figure out what score they needed to give Bethenny to ensure she lost.

Exactly what I thought, Prisoner. They knew the scores, so they were able to grade Bethenny really high and still have her lose. So obvious. No way she would earn a real 10 in any category otherwise. They tried to make her fans think they were being fair but they overplayed it. What a cheesy show. Hope there isn't another season.

No. The judges scores were combined with the audience vote from the previous skate. At least that's how they did it all season. The only time they differed was the first two weeks, when it was the first and second nights' scores combined for both judges and audience, and Sean went home.

You don't have to watch it if there is. I remembered watching some of the first. I did not watch this second season.

Thanks for the info, Naja. I could watch it online, but, meh. DD and I were sure Rebecca would win-she really looked like a "real" pairs skater. I don't really like the way things were scored. Not just the judges, but combining the judges score with the voters from the previous skate? If I nailed the previous skate but tanked the current one, it doesn't make sense. Then again, not a lot of this show made sense. But it was fun to watch.

There was no "first". This show is completely different than the skating show that was a few years ago. THIS show was patterned after DWTS.

Bluejax, totally meh. Totally expected ending.

I actually went and researched the scoring system for this show a few weeks back and told Hubby the best Bethanny could do was second place. With the fan base keeping her in.

That is what happened.

Never voted, never texted.

Love Bethanny, but knew Rebecca deserved to win.

Second place has to bite Jill Zarin's backside after Jill's 'Christmas Skate Party and cameo appearance with Johnny Wier' on RHONY. So, Bethanny did win......against Jill Zaren.

I watch programs and keep myself away from spoilers.

I pop in after the shows are done.

I wish Andy Cohen had been there on the last night.

I am a huge fan of Bethenny's, but was kind of hoping she would get voted off so I wouldn't have to watch this PAINFULLY TERRIBLE show. I voted for her the first week or so, then was tempted to vote for someone else. They would have to get Simon Baker on there next season in order for me to watch!
