Look, I understand that the networks were getting desperate for programming. I get that they may have considered the successes of imports like Ugly Betty, The Office, and Survivor and thought that Canada was due an opportunity to make a cultural gift to America's strike-ravaged TV schedules. And I get that people will watch just about any damn thing when it's packaged into a reality show. But Rockstar Curling? Really? They think they might get Bruce Springsteen Or Jon Bon Jovi to host it? REALLY?! I mean, Richie Sambora, maybe. But even Clarence Clemmons wouldn't touch that shit. And I can (kind of) see something like this getting off the ground in Canada (proposed contestants: Gord Downie, Lee Aaron, and obviously Céline Dion), but do Americans even know what curling is? If they didn't get on board with bull riding, this shit is going to be an even tougher sell.
