Seems like a nice guy, but he doesn't have a high enough profile among the mainstream to take over as host.

Please don't misinterpret what people have been saying. Like you, we all love the show, that's why we are here. And for those of us who have seen it from the beginning, we know that in the past this has been a very well run broadcast. We've been spoiled with many seasons of excellent...

CBC's YouTube link to all the performances. Not sure if this is geolocked to those outside the country.

You make some good points

As someone who has been involved at the network level and studied this stuff since childhood (the family business), I think I can pass judgment that this show (that has been so brilliantly produced over the years) was left wanting this year. I'm happily retired from the biz, not the jealous...

Very true.

I mused about this before the series began, when they spoke of there being international voting I figured Katia's followers would help her. I am firmly convinced that Canadians want to see people they are familiar with and have followed throughout their careers. Have to say I am surprised it...

I thought it would be worse but they got out in time. Not one of the better produced years of BOTB, thank God for Sheldon. Disjointed year and I'm not sure exactly how Disney suddenly popped up.

And the world unfolds as it should. Sheldon wins.

Are they supposed to be somebody, the two supposedly reviewing BOTB were a fount of ignorance.

Did anyone laugh at that the timing of that shot where Ron asked the audience if they wanted to see Kurt skate and they immediately cut to Brian just sitting there not applauding. Unintentional of course but I found it funny.
