Skating with the Stars won by Rebecca Budig

Budig emerged the winner on “Skating with the Stars” after a tight struggle. Budig squared off with Frankel within the ending. Nevertheless, the show is not likely returning.

The announcement of the ‘Skating with the Stars’ winner

The “Dancing with the Stars,” series is between spring and fall seasons. The show “Skating with the Stars” was made to fill the spot between. The announcement of the “Skating with the Stars” winner happened. CBS reports this. Rebecca Budig, who stars on the soap opera “All My Children,” squared off with the other finalist, Bethenny Frankel, from “The Real Housewives of New York City.”. The end of the Budig and skate partner Fred Palascak skated to “Hot N Cold” by Katy Perry, and received a perfect score for their performance from judges Dick Button, Johnny Weir and Laurieann Gibson. Frankel and Ethan Burgess skated to “Right Round” by Flo Rida and Ke$ha, but failed to capture the win. Frankel had been considered a fan favorite.

Viewers unhappy

There has been a lot of popularity with shows that have celebrity competition like “Dancing with the Stars.” There haven’t been very good rating for the ice skating show though. The start to the show was sort of okay although the end wasn’t good at all. That is what the Hollywood Reporter explains. The show netted a 0.8 Nielsen rating, or 3.4 million viewers. A “Glee” rerun had a 1.3 rating. About 4 million viewers were there. Even the presence early on in the season of actress Sean Young and rocker Vince Neil, “Skating” was not able to kick start the heart of viewers.

Show might continue

This season, “Skating with the Stars,” got really bad ratings. More than likely, it will not get renewed. That said, low ratings in early seasons don’t always spell doom and gloom, and a solid second season could improve the show’s chances.
