*sigh*

Don't tease me like that. For a moment, I thought there was gonna be an actual "Buffy on Ice"

Can you imagine the Master skate-fighting with Buffy?

Hmm, I've amended the title in response to NickSeng's point - it was a tad misleading. And changed the link to Ms. Swanson's profile.

Of course the not-original Buffy, SMG, herself was (is?) a skater and skate-fan too. Pattern? Discuss.

Joss likes blonde ice skaters?

Lol, sorry, I didn't mean to dash an skating fantasies with the title. Though now that you mention it, it would be an interesting show. Oh man, the possibilities :D

I so wanted to see a Llama quadruple-toe double lutz. Wait. Wrong movie.

And need we mention Michelle Trachtenberg's big Disney film? Yes, SoddingNancyTribe, a big damn pattern. ;-)

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted before.

This is clearly a knock off of "Dancing With the Stars", and I doubt it's going to get much buzz. I' be more interested in a celebrity hockey game. At least there would be a chance David Boreanaz would be there.

Personally I think she did a really good job. I think she and Lloyd Eisler deserved at least top three - definitely not dead last. Most of the judges criticisms were based on it not being a typical fast Lloyd Eisler routine, not on how good the routine really was for a beginner.

We had that on in the background, and you have no idea how quick I jumped up to check the tv when I heard "from Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and then hubby goes, "Calm down, it's just Kristy Swanson." What a total bummer...

Big damn pattern indeed. We all know about Mr Whedon’s foot fetish. Stands to reason that all those tight-laced ankle-high boots with the shiny edges are setting his heart aflutter.

Julie Benz also was a skater, and she auditioned for the role of Buffy, yes?

Kristy Swanson, from the rehearsal footage they showed, is either the fastest learner there is, or not a beginner. Her one-foot spin showed some previous experience, IMO. I do think Kristy & Lloyd didn't belong in the bottom of the standings, but I think that the judges were taking into account relative experience levels when scoring, and thought they should have done more.

Skating with Celebrities actually got a 11.2/16, only narrowly losing the 9PM hour to Lost (11.5/17 - these numbers are from memory and may be slightly wrong). The American Idol lead-in and the curiousity factor probably helped a lot and I'm sure the ratings will drop when it moves to Mondays at 8PM on 1/23, but it does seem to have actually gotten buzz.

What? In my other life I run a Kurt Browning website, so I keep track of these things.
