Thanks, SkatingCanuck. It's worth a look. Will it be an "American idol" kind of thing where kids come in and audition? I wonder what level of skaters they will be looking at.

If Kristi is involved, it is sure to be a high class operation. :love:

Uhhhh....before we get too excited about this, it sounds like it will involve older skaters who never reached the pinacle during their eligible days:

***quote from the press release***
...giving twelve skaters from around the world, who fell short on their quest for skating greatness, a second chance. Watch as professional skaters battle the pressure and each other in the hopes of becoming Skating's Next Star.

Probably the Jenni Kirks and Tonia Kwiatkowskis and Tatyana Malininas of this world. Then again, if they invite TONYA to join the group, I'll watch. Wouldn't that be a hoot! :laugh:

I still consider TLC's "Ice Diaries" as the ideal reality-skating show that could exist (beside actual ISU-sanctioned competitions). Ice Diaries gives us true (not fake - made-for-TV) drama.

I wouldn't be surprised if the blonde one from Ice Diaries shows up for this.

ROTFL, Idledancer! That poor gal is *the* singlemost interesting element in the show. Yeah, it's great to see the success stories -- the BeBes and Alissas -- but Sandy's story shows the other side that we never see in the Nationals fluff pieces. That's why I have such admiration for Ice Diaries. It's REAL reality TV.
