I almost called Johnny a bad word in front of my 11-yr old daughter. She saw the look on my face and my stuttering so she put her hands over her ears...lol I refrained, but argh!

Bethenny simply said it the way it was (another skater fell and got compliments? or some such thing)...so Johnny Wierd had to save face. Much nicer scores this week, interesting. Love Bethenny, but still don't think she skates all that well, lol

Color..yes, it was the 2006 Olympics. He is a piece of work for sure.

I didn't think Vince Neil did as well as Bethenny tonight and they raved? What is up? He did the small jump and basically stayed on his feet.

I am NOT understanding this scoring at all.

I honestly never think that people aren't fair to others because of jealousy, but this show is kinda shaking that.

I think it is maybe a tiny possibility that some of these people are has-beens, and Bethany's star is stll rising.

On Ellen this week Bethenny asked the viewers to "Sanjaya" her through the season. That's what I'm doing. Voting for her just cuz I like her. She can't skate worth beans but the show's a joke.

Bethanny may not be able to skate as well as the skier, the soap star, and the tween show star, but imho she's better than Vince. Vince is much stiffer in his movements than Bethanny, but they gushed all over him. wth?
I loved it when Bethanny finished her skate, after cutting it too close to the edge of the rink and almost falling, she said something like "ok, this week you have something to blast me for." And her excitement when "we got a 7!" lol OMG, how cute is Bryn? What a doll!
WRT Brandon's injury, I didn't hear what it was and/or how it happened, but was really ticked about Weir's comment that the kid should have been there to perform. 'Doctors have told me not to skate, but I go out there anyway.' Uh, yeah, cuz you're a professional. And what was with LaurieAnn's score for him-a 9? Seriously? So would she have given them a 10 if they'd done the routine with no mistakes tonight? Yes, the routine looked great, but they didn't skate in front of an audience and judges, so they didn't have the nerves. I did appreciate that Weir and Dick deducted a point or two for that reason.
I'll watch until Bethanny's gone, then I'll be gone too.

This show is a total joke:

1. Johnny Weir gushing all over Vince Gill and berating Bethenny.

2. The high scores Jonny and his partner got, even though he two-footed his jumps.

3. The high scores Laurieanne gave Brandon and his partner, based on the rehearsal skate.

Brandon didn't have an injury, FWIW. It looked like he had an illness of some sort, if he was hurling leaning over the ambulance stretcher. I was glad to see both Dick and Johnny W deducting points for the rehearsal skate because of the fact that it wasn't in front of an audience or TV cams.

While I understand the "you have to go out there and perform no matter what" philosophy, there is a huge difference between performing in competition and performing on a farce of a show such as this one. (A really close friend is a drummer and one night he had to perform. With a bucket right behind him. Every time he put his sticks down, he turned and hurled.)

And what is up with Dick and his TSA/x-ray reference? Once again, he blew his pre-written lines. Seriously, the man needs to be put out to pasture. At least this week he managed to get his scores and paddles to match.

I'm watching but I can't stand this show. I think having both Johnny and Tanith perform is a bit narcissistic, to say the least.

And Laurieanne has no business judging ANYTHING. I'm not super familiar with her work, but the woman is a royal piece of work. This isn't a dance competition. It's a SKATING competition. Of course, I'm sure real skaters wouldn't be caught dead judging this show! :-)

Button is past his prime and should not be commentating on "real" skating competitions (which he isn't). He's just allowing himself to become a joke being part of this lame show. Bad move for him.

Bethenny tweeted:

OMG.after show I told judge:dude,I don't take personally.this is silly.I'm40&on skates.who cares:he said he's feeling it is personal.

Has Bethenny really said anything negative about Weir's judging? Sure, her fans have (including me), but she's been very much of the "I'm just skating to have fun, doesn't matter what the judges say" mentality. Weir is the one who is saying anything about it being personal.

She did kind of say something about the negative comments at the beginning of her reel last night. I think that's what Johnny was commenting on.

That said, she has a right to comment on the judging, especially when someone else fell (not once but twice) and got higher scores than Bethenny did.

As for Johnny claiming it's not personal? I call bull. Especially in light of his friendship with Jill Zarin. No way is he not doing this on a personal level. His low scores for her, I mean.

I agree with all of you on how unfair the judging is against Bethany. My daughter watched it with me for the first time and was flabbergasted that they gushed at Vince after seeing how they talked to Bethany. She asked me of the judges are high. :-)

I didn't know about Weir's relationship with Jill Zarin. How can he even be a judge? I guess they wanted him for his name because it sure isn't for his judging talents.

Last night when they said the "Olympic star" was gonna skate, at first I thought it was gonna be Weir. While I love Tanith/Ben skating, do they really need to have the host and judge skate? Is this a promo for them? Can't they do like DWTS, and have OTHER people skate? Or the pros?

Well, this show is a joke and from what I hear the new singing show that is on has had some great reviews and so I am done with this and going to watch the other. Maybe if they had some real skaters judging this it might be more enjoyable, but these yahoo's are awful. I don't blame Bethany for saying what she did as she truly isn't being judged fairly. I think they are loosing viewers quickly.

LOL. True, that, Kona!

And yeah, no one I know is watching this. No one I've heard of is taking this show seriously. I bet this show will never be back.

I started watching till the unfair judging of Bethenny, and now I'm done with this show. It's a shame that a show can go so far down the tubes because of one judge.

Costa, you said what I was trying to say so much better than I did. I wasn't sure, though, what was wrong with Brandon and was going by my daughter's info that he was injured. So he was sick? Yeah, that's something I'd like to see-skate, jump, hurl, skate, lift, hurl...lol
Count me as one of those who don't get the whole Johnny & Tanith skating stuff. If we're to compare this to DWTS, then I wanna see Tom B. and Brooke B. dancing. Also, I don't know why LaurieAnn is a judge-this is a skating show, not a dancing show. Again, comparing to DWTS, there are 3 judges who are involved in some aspect of dance. I'd love to have 3 judges on this show who are involved in some aspect of skating. Would love seeing Dorothy Hamill as a judge. Methinks she would be the "Paula" of the panel.
I'll watch until Bethenny's gone. I caught a bit of the singing show on the other network, and that's going to be my "flip to" during SWTS.

I haven't been watching. Is Brandon a "pro" skater or a "star"? Who is he?

He's a disney guy (the star). He's the one who's very good, as he has a lot of roller skating experience.


So if he's out it's just down to three... good job the finale is next week! Really the only result based on skill is Bethenny out this week, then the female soapstar top and the remaining guy second next week.

They should have had more stars and more training before the start, so that the skill level was a bit higher. I'm surprised how disappointing the show has been, I was really looking forward to it.
