Also: A Special Skating Performance to an All-New Carrie Underwood Song from “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”
“Episode 103” – The five remaining pairs take to the unforgiving ice on “Skating with the Stars,” MONDAY, DECEMBER 6 (8:00 -9:30 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Who will be the next to be eliminated? Dick Button, Johnny Weir and Laurieann Gibson are the judges; Vernon Kay is the host and Tanith Belbin is the commentator for the show, from BBC Worldwide Productions.
This week it’s Story Week, and each skating pair will be asked to interpret their chosen song through their skating routines. In addition, they’ll have to complete a jump as part of their requirements. The five remaining pairs are: Bethenny Frankel & Ethan Burgess, Brandon Mychal Smith & Keauna McLaughlin, Jonny Moseley & Brooke Castile, Rebecca Budig & Fred Palascak and Vince Neil & Jennifer Wester. The pair with the lowest ranking following the judges’ scores and votes from the public will be sent home the following week.
In addition, Belbin and her Olympic partner, Ben Agosto, will headline in a special skating number choreographed by JT Horenstein. The number will be performed to “There’s a Place for Us,” an original song co-written by Carrie Underwood for the highly-anticipated new feature film, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” The film, the third in “The Chronicles of Narnia” series based on C.S. Lewis’ beloved children’s books, is in theaters December 10th.
