And it's a good thing! The show started here at 2:30 p.m. and Alexei and Irina were the first pair to skate. I did startle my cats, though, as I yelped and leaped over them (while they were quietly sleeping on their pillows in front of the fireplace) to hit the video recorder button. Laurie

You can really see how strong most of the remaining pairs are, and even with completely different partners. They've learned a lot! I think this is the most talented bunch they've ever had on this show. No wonder the producers didn't know how to resolve choosing winners. The pairs received judges' marks for the partner switch, but it has nothing to do with the regular competition between the pairs. And the judging was weird! Galustyan was your most professional judge, and that's saying a lot. I almost felt at times like they took turns giving head-shaking marks because none of them had a clue what they were doing and were just giving out marks at random or on whim. Bring back Tatiana and Anton! Marat and Anastasia were dressed in ridiculous and elaborate holiday costuming, but I guess they can't play the elegant card every time, LOL. They were cute, anyway. It was fun to see Alexei and Irina skate together, even if they weren't judged. A few other skaters/celebs were missing from this show - Abt, Navka, Taranda, and Brezhneva - and maybe somebody else, but that's all that comes to mind right off the top of my head. I'm not going to go through each pair - some of the videos are already up and I'm sure the rest will follow and everyone can see for themselves, LOL - but here are my highlights: Alexei/Irina - well, this was just plain fun - two expert skaters skating together (what a concept! ) - it was fast, it was fun, it was professional, and neither held back. I'm not really keen on broad comedy, but it was cool to watch Alexei skating so freely and Irina is always adorable and spot-on. They skated to "Last Christmas" by what sounds like an American pop singer (I could find the music and I probably will, but not right now, LOL). The storyline was two kids playing cute. And cute they were, LOL. They received no marks as they were both skaters - only skater/celebrity pairings received marks. Lanksaya/Khvalko - skating to Valeria's Monte Cristo music - and both dressed in white. Gorgeous performance! Khvalko is an excellent pairs skater and Valeria is the most comfortable celeb on the ice so it was bound to be a good match, but this was just beautiful. All the judges got this one right except for one inexplicable 5.8 that even the judge who gave it couldn't explain it, LOL. See what I said above about "whim." Babenko/Vanagas - well, this was lovely! Elegant costumes and romantic storyline - Babenko truly shines as an actress and has an understanding of ballet, although Povilas can probably make anyone look good, LOL. Judges inexplicably didn't get it... Alferova/Kostomarov - skating to something sultry by Christina Aguilera, it was a bravura performance by both of them. Hot, hot, hot! I've always loved Alferova - this girl can't take a step wrong, LOL, and she proved it here yet again. Brilliant little comedienne, and not a half bad skater, either. Good job! Everyone else did perfectly fine and their performances were thoroughly enjoyable, but the standout performances for me were the ones I listed above. The only jarring note for me was Beroev skating open-shirted with Alferova during another exhibition that wasn't judged because it was celeb with celeb. There are male skaters who can skate almost shirtless and it's perfectly in tune with the theme of the program. This wasn't one of those performances. All in all, it was a blast to watch, but I still prefer all these skaters and celebs with their regular partners. Most of them played it a little safe because these weren't their regular partners. It made for an enjoyable show, but missing that little frisson of excitement that fuels the pairs to try and come up with the most challenging programs because they are being marked and because they are comfortable enough with each other to dare. I'm guessing they probably will show us a compilation of the best numbers from the two Moscow shows at Khodynka next since they were definitely being taped. Looking forward to it!

On the Russian Channel One TV guide, they show "Hot Ice" as premiering tonight and it's on at the regular "Ice Age" time. On my Channel One listing for California, though, they show "Ice Age" as being shown tonight. Guess I won't know for a couple hours...(reminds self that patience is a virtue... ) Laurie

They must have a new sponsor - saw LetiDomoy.com prominently featured. It was annoying to watch something completely different while the online TV guide still showed "Ice Age" as what was being shown. Here's a great Alexei and Valeria calendar poster by Nicole that you can print out yourself. Watch the paper size! http://radikal.ru/F/s41.r.../07/5d115537352c.jpg.html high resolution version: http://radikal.ru/F/s55.r.../f3/91656ce62187.jpg.html Laurie

There is a tour date scheduled there that night. I'm wondering if that's how they plan to do it - continue taping while on the road. But that doesn't explain what they will do with the judges - I doubt they can drag the judges on tour with them. Ilya did say in the previous articles that the judging was going to be different, though...hmmm... Laurie

According to the All Russia Public Opinion Survey Center, which did a survey on the public's favorites in terms of politicians, actors, musicians, athletes, movies, TV programs, etc., "Ice Age" tied for first in best television show. Looks like the competing celebrities on ice show, "Star Ice," ended up in sixth place. "Ice Age" was also first last year, and although ratings have dropped a bit from last year, the show is still in first place. http://vsefn.com/news/2009-01-10-3154 >> The numbers of the best television shows this year in first in three years included the news program "Conduct/Conduct Week" (8%), and in first place also occupy the broadcasts of "Stars on Ice/Ice Age," and "Wait for Me"(8%). Last year the show "Ice Age" was the lead in this rating (11%), the program "Wait for Me" occupied second, and "Channel One News" and the talk show "Let's Speak" divided third place (5%). This year A. Malakhova's talk show also takes third place (6%), "Channel One News" has gone down to fourth position, having divided with the show "Comedy Club" (5%). Further follows "The Miracle Field, "Malakhov +," "To the Barrier," "Minute of Glory" (3%), KVN, "Star Ice," "People and the Law," Channel Russia, "What? Where? When?" (2%). 20% have specified other television programs, 22% have found it difficult to answer. >>

Although I feel Ice Age should be the best, still nice to see an official conformation.. Glad to know that Alexei is always in the best party. Ching

The main producer of the popular show told "KP" when and how the project will resume. The year is over, we have met the new...But the main intrigue on television was left unrevealed. Who will win "Ice Age?" During the gala concert, which is shown on the last weekend of 2008, they were to declare a champion. But instead, Tatiana Tarasova has taken everyone aback: - We have decided to extend the project! And how is this? We demanded an explanation from the main producer of "Ice Age," Ilya Averbukh. - Prior to the gala concert I was at Channel One. Management has taken the decision to continue the project. First, neither the judges nor the audience were able to identify the leader. This year we have 12 finalists, and they are all very strong participants. And secondly, Channel One carried out a sociological study, which became clear: interest in "Ice Age" is huge. Why then stop? - And the participants agreed? - I talked with them. Of course, some difficulties have emerged. Some are already scheduled to film a movie, others have other obligations. Now we are trying to resolve it. I think everything will turn out. - When will the continuation begin? - The exact date of the issuance of broadcasting new releases is not known. I can only say that it will happen in the near future. Now we are on tour, then the parties will have some time to relax, they will have something like a vacation. After that, we resume training and filming the show. - Conceptually, has something changed in the plan? We have heard that it will not be figure skaters and stars, but stars with stars. The figure skaters will just train pairs. - Of course, something we will change in the concept. But it is not radical. It is the continuation of the project, which in its form is a success. I do not hide that there is some idea of how to collect all three years of participants of the ice show of Channel One. But it will be a separate idea... - New "Ice Age?" - I can not promise anything. You understand: the crisis, shrinking budgets of channels. There will be an opportunity, then we will not only extend the current project, but will work on the new. >> The article also mentions Maxim Staviski and that his current appeal case is set for May. He and Albena will remain and continue work in Russia until that time. Laurie

I say approximately because it never starts exactly on the hour or half hour or even at 15 minute intervals, LOL. Laurie

Posts: 46591 (01/16/09 12:18 PM) Fearless Leader Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Once again, not quite sure where to put this, LOL, but I'm putting it here because it's Ice Age show related, certainly. The Ice Symphony site has appointed a new head admin and gotten the spam cleaned up and under control. The new admin is Brigantina (hope that's her user name - with computer translators you can never be sure ), one of the editors of Ilya Averbukh's new figure skating magazine, "LED." It's a good bet this magazine will continue to focus on Ice Symphony projects and skaters. They've also provided more information on how to secure copies of the magazine in more areas, along with a downloadable subscription form for those who live in Russia. Outside of Russia, you can call +7 499 501 34 43 to see about obtaining the magazine. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they have a subscription form yet for outside of Russia. But I suspect with enough demand, that could be obtained. http://www.icesymphony.org/icenews/podpiska/ Brigantina also advises elsewhere on the forum that the continuation of the filming of Ice Age will begin in March/April. Forgot to add that there was a confused discussion about whether this was Ice Age 2 or 3 (since the first show was called Stars on Ice, so the Ice Age name was first last year and second this year, thus Ice Age 2).
