(Ho-CBC/Insight/Canadian Press)Three pairs of contestants remain on the ice as CBC's Battle of the Blades glides into its final two shows on Sunday and Monday.
On Sunday's show, each couple — Shae-Lynn Bourne and Claude Lemieux, Marie-France Dubreuil and Stéphane Richer, and Jamie Salé and Craig Simpson — will perform to the music of their choice. Then all six performers will come together in a group performance.
The competition wraps up Monday night, starting with a group performance featuring all eight pairs from the competition. The show will also include a guest performance by co-host Kurt Browning.
The winning couple will be announced at the end of the show. They'll receive a $100,000 cheque made out to the charity of their choice.
The seven-week reality television series, televised before live audiences at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, paired eight retired hockey stars with well-known Canadian figure skaters.
Sunday and Monday shows begin at 8 p.m., 8:30 p.m. NT.
