I also think that Dave & Jonathan were extremely biased. However, the shows were extremely entertaining as well. Reality TV is a huge success because of the tasteless airing of dirty laundry which provides a voyeuristic experience for viewers.
Maybe Dave owes lots of people apologies. He could do a TSL reunion show (a la Bravo Network) where he can invite back the people who may have an issue with him, then Dave could "take it like a man" on those episodes.
The interest in figure skating could rise to a new high with more Reality Ice Shows such as:
"Project Ice Rink" - Contestants design costumes for skaters
"Ask the Judge" - viewers and figure skaters could ask judges or the judge from that competition why one skater was awarded a medal over another (i.e. Kerrigan vs. Baiul, Kwan vs. Lipinsky, Leonova vs. Kim)
"So You Think You Can Choreograph" - Contestants create a short program for a figure skater
"Ice Therapy" or "Mental Flutz" - Sports psychologists dispense advice to skaters who choke in competition
"Ice Tunes" - FS Universe posters pick out music for competitive skaters
"TES vs. PCS" - FS Universe posters duke it out over which is more important. The will be a security staff on standby just in case one or both guests flip out.
"Making the Team" - Skating federations from around the world pick out their World/Olympic teams.
"Blind Item Blades" - Very juicy gossip from the skating world without mentioning names
I would love to hear your ideas....
If you were Meghan Duhamel, would you be his friend?
If you were Ashley Wagner, would you be his friend?
Initially, what gave the show credence was Jenny. She was the recognizable name and he was her skating obsessed buddy. Dave has reaaaaaally good insight and perspective though he's a bit obsessed. Still, I love that he calls a spade a spade. Still, A lot of skaters and coaches honored his interview requests because for one, it was an organized team gaining in popularity interviewing some true skating greats. Michelle Kwan, Miki Ando, Sandra Bezic. The people that skating fans adore. Early on, i was sometimes irritated by the sidebar conversations that were ridiculous... on and on about the way a skater turned their head...on and on about silly ass rink gossip. Still, the show was the best that there was and the skating version of a pregame show or recap show.
Over time, the more that Dave got comfortable being messy as hell and saying things about skaters on air, behind their back but in front of their face the more that skaters started shying away from him. I mean, he says things about some skaters that would be ok to hear from Phil Hersh who is a journalist and hardly any skaters friend. To hear the mousy little twerp saying it about you after you went out of your way to be nice to him because you thought that you were helping a cause that would increase knowledge and popularity of your sport... that shit aint cool.
In general, skaters are nice. I have had Meghan D. Aliona, Mic Brezhina etc. respond to me personally on social media. When i meet skaters in person, some are standoffish but most are beyond happy to talk to you, even coaches like Zueva and Tarasova. If you go behind their backs and talk smack, then try to cover it up and act like it wasn't what it was, that is NOT cool.
Tedd Flett, i respect. I do wish that he was a bit bolder with the questions he asked. Dave was not all bad. He has a mean, catty, Wendy Williams way about him though that turns skaters and their coaches completely off. If he ever fixed that, I think things would be repairable. The thing is, skating is a sport where it's not always ok to tell the truth, especially in North America. I hope TSL is NOT over but i could understand if the skaters being interviewed decreases
You went there ...
