Naked hockey players & cattiness! 'MVP' needs more
Posted at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, June 18
If ever a show needed more shirtless bods and bitchiness, it’s SoapNet’s “MVP.”
Debuting at 10 p.m. Thursday, “MVP” follows the off-ice antics of the fictional Canadian Mustangs hockey team.
The import from Canada, where it was subtitled “The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives,” plays like a sub-par rip-off of BBC’s “Footballers Wives,” which had plenty of locker room shots of naked soccer players and was loaded with the catty attacks by their wives. “MVP” has many of the same elements—a ruthless owner, a clueless rookie, jealous wives and sex, sex, sex.
It’s just that I didn’t feel like smoking a cigarette after watching the premiere. It’s not quite the guilty pleasure “Footballers Wives” was.
But things begin to look up in the second episode, when rookie Trevor Lemonde (Dillon Casey) strips for the team and star Damon Trebuchet (Peter Miller) is accused of sexual assault. “I have proof I’m innocent,” he tells his boss and lawyer. He filmed the tryst—along with 300 other sexual encounters.
Now there’s some scandalous action I can feel guilty for loving.
WHO’S THAT GUY?
“My friends see that and they rip on me pretty hard for it. You know what, it’s not like I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I’m OK with it. It’s part of the show, it’s part of the character.”
Dillon Casey, who as rookie pro hockey player Trevor Lemonde poses in his underwear in the second episode SoapNet’s “MVP,” told Entertainment Weekly about the promo posters (right) that has been plastered all over every major city.
