Skating With The Stars, 11232010

Now that Dancing With The Stars is in the past, there is a new show that emerged, " Skating With The Stars." Since there was nothing good to watch, I decided to watch it. I was surprised to see that the celebrities can skate! Wow! They must have picked those with previous skating experience, although I was not sure who they were! The professional skaters are also not known, at least by me! They are not the skaters that are well known. Why? Perhaps, the well known professional skaters are very busy, or perhaps the producers are not giving a very good incentive to join the show! Who knows??? Whatever the reason or reasons are, it is here, it is already a signed and seal deal. Just keep quiet and watch!!! I wonder if Skating With The Stars will give the same thrill, excitement, and controversy that the fans experienced with Dancing With The Stars??? I guess, we will have to find out, won't we??

Here are the skating pairs: The first pair is Bethenny Frankel/ Ethan Burgess. Frankel was the first runner up on Apprentice: Martha Stewart, a natural food chef and has appeared on The Real Housewives of New York; Burgess is a 3 times USA team member and has won medals in skating. Frankel was not bad with her skates!

Next pair: Brandon Mychal Smith/ Keauna McLaughlin. Smith plays Nico Harris on Disney channel Sonny with a Chance, and McLaughlin is from Hawaii and partner of Ethan Burgess. Smith can really skate!!!

Next pair: Jonny Moseley/Brooke Castile. Didn't Moseley won medals for his skiing in the Olympics? Castile is now a coach and choreographer in Detroit. She was the 2007 US national champion with partner Ben Okolski. Never heard of Castile nor Okolski!!

How about Rebecca Budig/ Fred Palascak? Budig is on All My Children as Greenlee Smythe and Palascak is married to Melanie Lambert, another skater!

Sean Young, a movie actor and Denis Petukhov. Petukhov and Melissa Gregory represented th US in the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Vince Neil, a rock singer with Tommy Lee in Motley Crue. Is he the oldest in the group??? His partner is Jennifer Wester who trained in Italy and Switzerland!

All I can say to the pairs is that they were not bad at all! I was surprised... I thought that I will see a lot of them falling and slipping on the ice. Impressive first day!! I might watch them! Has any of you know and heard of the skaters??? Any comments????
