I do hope the men really will actually be wearing hockey gear.

God, that’d be AWESOME.

You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

Stephane Richer is a natural for this.

There’s my obligatory homophobic Stephane Richer joke circa 1991.

How on earth did Simpson get paired up with Sale? Lucky bastard!

It looks like the voting public is choosing “Sale and whoever.” :)

Okay … I’m curious … will this be available for viewing on the net anywhere?

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

Can someone explain to me what the hell this is?

Figure skating competition slash reality show on CBC. I’ve talked about it a few times here.

Like that dancing reality-show-thingie where one actual dancer was paired with someone who was a football player, or speedskater, or actor, or something other than dancer and then the pairs competed for – prizes, I assume, since they already had fame and fortune. But on ice instead of a dance floor.

If any of you have a woman in your house, they’ll probably be watching.

I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.

My surprising number of female readers demand coverage, so I oblige.

I wouldn’t be. This is one woman who chooses not to waste her time on any reality shows. :)

Would you talk to my wife?

It probably wouldn’t do any good. Besides, then she might become addicted to the National Geographic Channel and the History Channel instead. I’m not sure that you would like that any better. :)

Dancing with the Stars, with fewer teeth. This should be epic.

If this was broadcast in the States, my wife would definitely watch it. She loves figure skating and loves Dancing With the Stars. I know that she’s oblivious to who the hockey players are, but that wouldn’t stop her.

I vote for whichever has the hottest girl. For these purposes, I’m excluding Duguay from the “girls”.
