Thrive to spite them

Did anyone watch the Next Iron Chef premiere?

Oh my, it's the Battle of the Blades results show! They're recapping things that I missed, so yay! This is soooo Canadian cheesy, eh!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha, Abby, that's awesome! That's totally a show I would watch. Who are some of the hockey players? People I would know?

TAR: OMG, why, lawyers! Also, hilarious at them rushing madly around waving a bullet at people. I really hope there's some producer with a translator trailing around after them to explain them to the bemused locals. I would be so alarmed if someone rushed up to me and pushed a bullet into my hand.

It didn't seem like the losing couple took that long at their challenge, although maybe it was the edit. And I was surprised they didn't ask someone sooner about the word.

I would so watch Battle of the Blades.

Dancing With the Stars: Tom Delay needs to stop shaking his hips. Immediately.

BOTB:

Claude Lemieux & Shae-Lynn Bourne

Glenn Anderson & Isabelle Brasseur

Stephane Richer & Marie-France Debruil

Tie Domi & Christine Hough-Sweeney

Ken Daneyko & Jodeyne Higgins

Craig Simson & Jamie Sale

Ron Duguay & Barb Underhill

Bob Probert & Kristine Lenko (out)

I only really recognize Tie Domi and I don't know all the figure skaters even, but the big hockey players and the little figure skaters are pretty hilarious.

Oh my stars! I love Shae-Lynn Bourne. She's my automatic pick for the winner. I don't know any of the hockey players, but they got a good crop of skaters. Much better than what turned up on Skating with the Stars or whatever that show was called where Llyod Eisler got with Kristy Swanson.

DWTS: So, I don't watch this show, but they had Paula Abdul in the audience tonight, and as Paula goes, so goes my nation. Great googly moogly. I will never recover from Tom DeLay shaking his red pants clad hips. That ain't right.

ETA: And I wasn't even trying to numberslut!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Ewwww. I repeat, that shit ain't right.

I'm going to write to that show and suggest that next season they get W to be one of the celebrities. Might as well go on and finish me off. Tom Delay pelvic thrusts. Why? Just, why?
