I’m not much of a fan of reality shows, especially shows like “American Idol” and “Dancing With The Stars.” However, there’s one reality show that I would love to watch- if only I could.
[Bob] Probert and [Tie] Domi are two of eight former National Hockey League players paired with a collection of Canada’s best female figure skaters for CBC’s new reality show, Battle of the Blades. They will take to the ice at Maple Leaf Gardens for seven weeks and 14 episodes of choreographed routines on Sunday and Monday nights.
Who wouldn’t want to see Tie Domi in sparkly costumes? No figure skates, though; he couldn’t handle them. Former New York Ranger Ron Duguay (pictured at right, and best known by this blogger for his participation in the Sassoon commercial), however, switches between hockey skates and figure skates. Now that’s a man’s man! The logical next step for the show is for a Blades of Glory-style spinoff. Probert and Domi skating pairs? Think of the ratings! Who wouldn’t want to see that?
“Mr. Devil” Ken Daneyko is also competing in the show and wants to kick some butt.
“The tough guys are forming a pact that one of us has to be the upset and win,” he said. “Unless we get frustrated and want to beat the crap out of each other on the ice.”
Sounds like a win-win to me! Too bad I won’t be able to see it. Time to move to Canada!
