Additional Comments: I'm not posting anything yet because I've been watching on CBC's Atlantic channel so most people in the east, central and west probably haven't seen it. Have you stuck with the show since the beginning? This and The Amazing Race are my only must-see tv...okay hockey, too. But I haven't been a tv person for years. This show is my absolute favourite. Having it at Maple Leaf Gardens is perfect and the skating has improved so much week by week. I also love seeing the various celebrities in the crowd and I think the best part is that these two great sports have come together.

  I have always loved Shae Lynn's skating, she floats like a buttefly...I think she and Lemieux might win.  I was NOT a Domi fan for one second...not even when he was a Maple Leaf !     It was fun to watch how the hockey players 'evolved' from hockey skaters to figure skaters... except for Domi....lol!  

However....perhaps now one can appreciate how good the 'real' skaters are.

  • (Sam) 2 players I despised, Domi and Lemieux. Domi shouldnt have lasted as long as he did and I believe he was propped up by the judges. Shae-Lynn is amazing but all the women are. I just hope Marie-France is well enough to skate next Sunday.

    Ok, now I can comment on last night's show. I agree that after last night it should come down to Lemieux and Richer, which is a shame because up till now, Simpson has been 1-2 with Lemieux. Richer/Dubreuil were spectacular last night and Lemieux/Bourne were even better. Who'd have thought that Lemieux could sing so nicely? And how does he raise the bar next week? The Hallelujah routine and the tango were both so good. I wasn't big on Simpson/Sale's choice of music and I think that was their big downfall, then his shakiness on the first lift sealed it. I loved Katarina Witt, she was so funny with her comments!

  • I agree with everything you said. I loved Lemieux's singing......and his skating! I also really enjoyed Katarina Witt. Loved her comments. She seemed to really enjoy the show too. Now I am hoping for Bourne/Lemieux to win. They have been consistently good. It's too bad there's only one show left. /Betty

    Haven't seen it yet. Am going to watch it on a west feed later. I am enjoying it more than I expected to. I also think that the final 3 are the best skaters. Domi was around longer than he should have been...IMO. I am really enjoying Claude Lemieux, but think it'll be between him and Simpson. Whoever wins I'll be fine with.

  • I watched it tonight. I think Claude Lemieux and Shae Lynn Bourne should win. I LOVE their tango and loved their dance tonight. Shae Lynn was always my favourite skater so I may be biased...and I always liked Claude Lemieux as well. I think Stephane Richer was great tonight and Craig Simpson slipped up a little bit. Any three would deserve to win but I think after tonight the final 2 should be Bourne and Lemieux, and Richer and Deubreuil. /Betty
