Lloyd Eisler and Kristy Swanson, Skating with Celebrities
Last week, actress Kristy Swanson and Olympic medalist Lloyd Eisler saw their on-the-ice partnership result in a championship on Fox's Skating with Celebrities, as they edged out sportscaster Jillian Barberie and pro John Zimmerman. While Swanson balked at discussing her and Eisler's reported off-rink romance — "I don't really want to get into my personal life," she deferred — everything else was fair game in this TVGuide.com Q&A.
TVGuide.com: Wasn't there a gossip item weeks ago that Jillian Barberie and her partner had won Skating with Celebrities, and it leaked out because there would be hubbub since she had training as a kid...?Kristy Swanson: I know that ever since we shot the last episode, we had to keep [the outcome] a secret.

Skating with Celebrities Well, as soon as Jillian Barberie fell during her free-skate routine with John Zimmerman, I knew it was over. That was really too bad, because I was rooting for them.

Olympics: Women's Figure SkatingForget about the Shani-nigans of the speed-skating feud, Lindsey Jacobellis' fall from grace and Bode's disappointing body of work. Figure skating is the premiere event of the Winter Games, even without Jillian Barberie and Todd Bridges. And last night's free skate presented Sasha Cohen with the chance to become America's next golden girl.
The night's memorable moments:
Kiira Korpi, Finland: Why do I have a feeling we'll be seeing this girl in Maxim sometime soon? In the words of Dick Button, "My goodness!" Extra hot points for skating to "Fever."
Yelena Sokolova, Russia: Redeems herself from Tuesday's short program, when she had a Chernobyl-size meltdown. Why is it that all Russian skaters and gymnasts look like '80s New Jersey mall chicks?
