Dancing on Ice

Channel 9 have managed to do it again....

In the ever-increasing world of broadcasters wanting to do a reality show where they can make some bucks by having people call in to vote for their "favourite"-whatever, the "Fuck off, already" Eddie Maguire crowd are trying to cash in on another celebrity-based show.

I know that Channel 7 has run a couple of seasons of this sort of thing with "Dancing with the Stars" but I refused to watch that on the basis that if I want to see dancers competing, then I will watch some DANCERS and not the Obliviots that inhabit TV already.

Channel 7 further delved into the "celebrity" gene pool by creating another celebrity show this time with singing. I won't watch Australian Idle (I know how it's spelt and this way is more relevant!) and music videos aren't worth watching anymore thanks to what passes for "talent" in the music world now. Same goes for radio but the killer there are the untalented fuckwits that are employed as announcers.

Can anyone see where this is going?

Yep - it ALL comes down to the announcers, the presenters, the people out front!

Ch7 had the diminutive little prick that was on Hey Hey It's Saturday not enough years ago. What was it's name? Daryl Sommers? The head on the stick had more talent! At least Grant Denyer on the singing one doesn't seem to be too bad - at least he can drive a car.

So - back to Ch9.
Instead of getting someone with any sort of on-air charisma, they've gone to the pot where they find the new presenters for Funniest Home Videos (a misnomer in itself). I'm bloody certain that the only way some of those birds get the job on that show is by how long they took it on the board room table!
For Dancing on Ice, they pick some saucepan shuffler by the name of Jamie Durie (is that how you spell it? Who cares....). His co-host is some bird who is so wooden in her performance that they must have injected her with viagra or something. If you picked her up off a street corner, you'd get splinters in your cock!

Needless to say, I did tape the show because I knew that Ch9 was going to have endless advertisements with opinions from dickhead presenters and more endless replays of boring routines. Basically, I just wanted to see one show to perve on the girlies in their minimal costumes. While they looked very pleasing, I can't stand it anymore and even with the fast-forward button being worked overtime, the show is still totally unwatchable.

Good thing for me, I guess. Can go back to my own dance classes instead of watching someone else have fun :)
Thanks Channel 9 for making the decision so easy! :)

Sure, but Channel 7 never had most of their "talent" end up in hospital.

That would have been one of the only reasons for watching dancing on ice... To see the "Blood on the Ice"...A pity I missed them making frozen Gourilla bickies(face plants on the ice)...:(
