I was truly mesmerized by how young Sean looked. She just turned 51 the other day. I know 51 isn't old, but if I didn't know anything about her I would have guessed quite a bit younger.

Recorded the show & watched back when I could FF thru all the commercials. Enjoyed Rebecca & Bethenny's performances. I thought Weir showed himself to be a true performer. I wasn't into the hair/outfit, but that's part of the pageantry of ice skating, I guess. I'll keep watching as long as I watch it from the DVR--makes it shorter! And there are just six couples, so it'll be a short run.

Bic - Sean was cast as Viki Vale but had a horse riding accident (it was rumored she was drunk) so lost the part to Kim Basinger. I didn't like Bethenny very much - reminded me of a newborn colt. Vince needs some confidence. Sean needs some coffee or something to wake up. I do have to say this about one of the Bachelor commercials - loved him getting slapped. That was just plain funny.

I don't care what credentials the Host has, he's terrible on this show. Even in the UK, 3-of-a-kind is NOT referred to (even by idiots) as a Full-House. The female judge is out of her element. Johnny needs to hit his stride. Dick is an authority on the subject, but is really slow picking up his cues. The show drags ... the celebs are not worth tuning in for. Just my opinions.

Can't stand Bethenny but since she can't succeed at much beyond reality shows, this is perfect for her. Would love to watch for Johnny and Sean Young but I just can't take these kind of shows. I have always found them to be way too dragged out.

Bethany can definitely be abrasive at times, but she has also been incredibly successful outside of reality tv.

I don't have Bethenny comfused with anyone. Bethenny is successful to a certain extent but I don't see her as big of a success as she sees herself nor do I see her as a lasting success. That's my opinion and I'm entitled to express it.

Yup, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I'd sure like to be unsuccessful enough to have a net worth of 14 million dollars

Watched the show and it definitely doesn't have the same appeal (to me) as dancing! I can barely skate in a straight line, so to me everything looks difficult, but at the same time, not a lot of it looks beautiful, like it does with dancing. And even on hulu they had that long spot advertising the next bachelor, yawn. And Wilson's right, Vernon Kay is HUGE in the UK, a few years ago it seemed like he hosted just about every other game show. He's also ridiculously tall for UK standards. We don't have the enormous basketball players so 6ft 4 stands out.

Just FYI... Bethenny has written 3 books (all of which have been well received and good sellers). She's also got a line of Skinny Girl Margaritas that she sells and is working on expanding that line. So the "reality star" bit basically helped to get her name out there, but she's succeeded on her own.

Me four. Bethenny did book signing at local Borders last year. So I met Bethenny and have signed "Naturally Thin". I think she's better than this lame SWTS show. She should be on DWTS.

I still don't like Bethenny and feel I should be able to simply state <99>. It's simply an opinion, folks. Not everyone likes her.

We are commenting on your statement "since she can't succeed at much beyond reality shows." Which isn't true, whether you like her or not.

I will agree that she is a success as a PR project. I don't agree that she will last or be around in 5 years. We simply don't agree about her and none of us are going to change the mind of the other. Can we agree on that much?

hell, i don't know if i will be around in 5 years, but I sure wouldn't mind being able to leave my kids a couple of million...but absolutely, we can agree to disagree.

I'm about 25 minutes into tonight's show and I think it's a bit better than last week's. It's more organized and flowing. I don't feel like I have been watching a bunch of fluff this time. That Johnny guy is awfully handsome this week. I didn't think so last week. I may just have to go look him up and see who he is...LOL

OK, seriously? Vince Neil FALLS and the female gives him the same score as she gives Bethenny who did two lifts and and didn't stumble once? I think I'll start treating this the same way I do Dancing with Stars, just watch the routines I want to see online the next day.

Well apparently an awful lot of people disliked her for reasons beyond skating so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise (cough ... Brandy .... cough). Too bad if she skated well though.

She fell twice and still got higher marks than Bethenny from the judges (I'm pretty sure). Bethenny really has to go next week. As much as I love everything she does, she ain't a skater! Johnny Wierd or whatever his name is, seems to have different expectations based on the sex of the celebrity, doesn't he? How odd... I am actually liking Dick Button far more than Johnny. And I.can't.believe.I.just.said.that.

I am finding Bethenny to just be a dull skater. Not bad, not good, just there. She definitely is a sparky thing on her tv show, but she is just bland when it comes to skating. (IMO)

She's very stiff and tentative. It surprises me that such a spitfire can be such a marshmallow! :-)
