Tough luck for Tuffy and Russ - the first pair to be benched on Season 2 of Battle of the Blades.
The former NHLer (full name: Russ Courtnall) and the retired Olympic figure skater (real name: Christine Hough-Sweeney) were booted from the CBC reality TV competition on Monday night after failing to receive enough votes from viewers at home and the judges - Sandra Bezic, Jeremy Roenick and guest Brett Hull.
"I hate this job right now," an almost teary judge Roenick told the couple after the verdict was revealed.
Courtnall and Hough-Sweeney landed in the Bottom 2 with Ekaterina Gordeeva and Valerie Bure after receiving fewer votes than the other six pairs for their performances on Sunday night. And it was pretty clear who the weaker pair was - Gordeeva and Bure are frontrunners, skill wise, and it came as a shock when host Ron MacLean revealed that they were on the chopping block.
Tuffy and Courtnall lost by an unanimous vote cast by the judges after both pairs performed encores of their rock routines from Sunday. Their moves just weren't as advanced as Kat and Val's - and I think I speak for many when I say it didn't help that their number was set to a Chad Kroeger song.
Next Week: The remaining pairs perform routines with a "Bringing Sexy Back" theme. I don't know what that means, but surely it calls for skimpier outfits (if that's possible).
