1. liveblogging skating with the stars - night one, part six

    21:26 - eagerly awaiting “Giants With the Stars.” make it happen, ABC.

    21:28 - was that a muppet on the footstool?

    21:29 - he’s really not bad

    21:30 - was walking forward and doing the macarena also a requirement?

    21:30 - none of these people suck enough for this to be a lot of fun.

    21:31 - so much credit and…you suck

    21:31 - I actually thought that was good advice.  Well played, Johnny G.

    21:31 - I think spotting is a little advanced at this point…

    21:32 - Dick really respects you and he could be your grandpa…

    21:33 - earlier today I read a story about the demand in Russia for donations of human hair to be used as extensions…now I understand

    21:34 - can’t entirely disagree with those scores

    21:34 - “you worked really hard and they called you the worst…how does that make you feel?”  paging Andrea Joyce.

    21:35 - and now you’re subjecting me to a Bachelor promo?  fuck you, ABC. fuck you.

    21:38 - that was longer than any actual skating so far

    RE: Denis Petukhov trying to be AShib:  they said Denis caught his blade on his partner’s dress during a shoot the duck in practice and they both fell…see?  copycat!

    21:43 - Bethenny is to Skating With the Stars as Sasha Cohen is to the world

    21:44 - at least Bethenny’s funny

    21:44 - her baby’s only six months old?  jeez.  I thought she was older.

    21:44 - Jill ZAAARRIN is so jealous right now

    21:45 - stealing the term “ice husband”

    21:45 - I love Tanith’s rehearsal updates

    21:46 - did he pick this song before or after she kept getting dizzy? lol

    21:47 - it’s like watching a bunch of Tom Z skaters. so slowwwwwwwwww

    21:47 - that guy looked familiar.  who was that?

    21:48 - her hair is so enormous, omg.

    21:48 - Dick is such a creeper, as always.

    21:49 - ohhh his voice’s coming back…”you just had a bay-beeee”

    21:49 - ew ew ew ew ew ew self-promotion

    21:50 - Tanith looks so awkward, lol.

    21:50 - TAH NITH

    21:55 - the merciful final segment

    21:55 - her hair is smaller now. somebody flattened it.

    21:55 - this scoring is arbitrary.  so - it’s a wonderful replica of real competitive figure skating scoring!

    21:56 - Sean & Denis were not five points better than Bethenny and Ethan

    21:57 - phones open for 1 hr…get to it, kids.  or vote on your “laptops”

    21:57 - just realized I spelled Jonny Moseley’s name wrong tonight.  I’m sorry.

    21:58 - hahaa and…nobody moves!

    21:59 - will we be subjected to more Johnny frippery next week?  oh, probably.

    21:59 - Vince Neil is gone, no?

    21:59 - he says “jidges” too

  2. liveblogging skating with the stars - night one, part five

    21:00 - the boys will always have it easier because they just have to stand there and hold on

    21:01- yup definitely the best so far

    21:01 - still into that ice circle

    21:03 - is it just me not hearing him in a while, or does Johnny sound really uncharacteristically masculine

    21:04 - Johnny is nameist!

    21:05 - awww it’s like watching little kids taking lessons at the Galleria! 

    21:06 - more commmmmmmmms >:0  this show is clearly cut from the DWTS cloth

    21:10 - shoot me now. he better take that shit off at some point. he can’t REALLY skate with it. 

    21:11 - oh good. commercials were his fault, though. he had to go change.

    21:11 - I would give this like a 4 for artistic expression, tbh.

    21:12 - how long till Yuna is on this show?

    21:13 - ohhhhh plugging USFS Learn to Skate.  ic.

    21:13 - Budig has an advantage because she’s skinny.

    21:13 - dangerous….tricks?  like what?

    21:14 - i wish they would’ve shown us skate fittings

    21:15 - millions is ambitious, IMO

    21:15 - graphics are better than on DWTS

    21:15 - she looks constipated

    21:17 - someone tell gymnasts to cut their leotards like that

    21:17 - okay I think she was overall better than Johnny, even though he was faster and less stiff

    21:17 - don’t lie Tanith

    21:17 - ….how did Johnny even have time to watch them?

    21:18 - that wasn’t funny, Johnny.  I believe you have a weave, though.

    21:19 - Tanith looks appropriately chagrined

    21:19 - Ne-Yo + pretty girl = ARTEEESTIC

    21:20 - that practice rink is so tiny

    21:21 - Motley Crue pictures, lol

    21:21 - ahhh the ubiquitous USFSA jacket…I’m home.

    20:41 - who picked that Y&R clip?? omglol

    20:41 - it’s not called “Kneeing With the Stars,” Denis

    20:41 - oh, that Blade Runner thing is going to get old. she’s cocky.

    20:42 - this lady’s hats…

    20:42 - “white carpet”?  really?

    20:43 - who does Denis think he is, Alex Shibutani?

    20:43 - live music not necessary for skating, guise.

    20:43 - can’t believe they just cheered

    20:44 - that was a pretty nice pair/dance spin

    20:44 - is she crying??

    20:45 - bunnies frolicking aren’t exactly what I’d call “elegant,” Weir-do.

    20:45 - $10 on the fact that Johnny does not compliment any of the other (non-Russian) skating pros

    20:46 “take off your girdle and let ‘er fly”…………..speechless, Dicky.

    20:47 - “don’t forget we’re live” haha as if I could with all the awkward pauses!

    20:30 - at least this show is good for MOAR Keauna
    20:31 - she needs to teach him to straighten his legs at least once or twice
    20:32 - not bad, though. I think she is a very good, strategic choreographer.
    20:32 - ohhhhh Dick.  never stop being you.
    20:33 - he’s already in on the spirals.
    20:33 - I hate Laurieann’s haircut
    20:33 - and she shouldn’t get to comment on his skating skills, since she has none
    20:34 - Johnny sounds like Evan.
    20:36 - shit, I missed the scores.  Sorry.
    20:36 - 5 per line, hahaha.  The Palin Effect.
