Ian Ross Peak - Season
Peak Season: The Finale
All good things must come to an end. Just like Christmas, your birthday, and a really good buzz, Peak Season is joining the ranks of these time-expired events. How do I feel about this? Right now I’m in shock in denial, the first of the seven stages of grief. On Monday nights, you can find me staring blankly at the screen for thirty minutes, remote in hand, laughing at who knows what. It’s like the phantom limb syndrome, and Peak Season is my missing appendage.
What happens:
I decided to switch it up a bit for the Peak Season finale. With the incessant repetition of Christmas carols drilling in my head, being offended by a rude name and realizing it was just a fake Santa and shortbread, I’ve decided to make this a festive special. So without further ado, here is possibly the longest Christmas card ever written:
Hello Peak Season cast, Merry Christmas! This will take a while, so put down the fuchsia shots, take off your fur-lined coats and put your fighting fists down. I’ve got a message for each and every one of you in the finale:
Dear Stephanie Just:
I’ve got a very important message for this Jamaican-loving snowboarder. It comes from a time-honored song produced by the wise profits known as Smash Mouth. “I get knocked down, but I get up again” is an ancient proverb that you should live your life by, because these guru’s know what they’re talking about. Of course, they also mention drinking whiskey and vodka in excess, but I’m sure you have that covered in Whistler.
Dear Lauren Horton:
First of all, thank you for teaching me how to deal with my problems. I always knew that kindergarten “love thy neighbor” boogus was crap. Second of all, I heartily agree with Debbie on the three detours of life: guys, flirting and alcohol, because seeing you cry is like saying goodbye to someone and then walking in the same direction. Painful, unnecessary and to be avoided at all costs. So, enjoy your wine (but only with Debbie), and my Christmas wish for you is for Blackout Promotions to succeed in doing exactly what the company name implies.
Dear Dre Morel:
After pulling out the white-rimmed shades and fitted fedora, it didn’t turn out to be enough to win back the lovely Amanda from the clutches of her long-haired companion. It’s okay though, because this is the season of milk and hunnies. I’m positive he will find another snow bunny to drink lemon-flavored water with. Besides, you know what you get when you cross Christmas with a vampire? Frostbite.
Dear Ian Ross:
From the expired milk debacle to skipping gaily through the bar, Ian has never had an dull moment. And that, my friends, is the greatest Christmas present of all. You know the coaches that can awkwardly sit three people, but out of consideration, the third person always finds somewhere else to land? Not in Ian’s house! It’s three men to a coach as a rule, and their heartwarming display of bromance can melt any Scrooge’s heart. Thanks Ian, for showing everyone what true Christmas spirit is, every hour of every day.
Dear Scoot:
My heart breaks for Scoot in this episode. All I could think about during Lauren’s verbal beating of him in front of Momma Bear was the fact that he was wearing a crisply-ironed button-up shirt. It’s like the first time I saw a hairless cat. It’s just not natural, but look how hard he was trying! So bravo to you for style, schoolboy Scoot, and I hope this Christmas season has you wearing oversized knit sweaters and corduroy pants. Tis’ the season.
Dear Amanda Scheller:
I’m sorry if I was a wee bit hard on Amanda this season. I think she is talented, beautiful and hilarious. I’ll confess my laughter to be sometimes of the “at, not with you” variety, but Christmas is also about forgiving, so since I forgive her for choosing Colton, I can only ask the same. Besides, that “blinder’s” schtick was the best advice I’ve gotten for partying yet. I wish her the best with snowboarding, modeling and avoiding any more terribly-awkward love triangles.
Dear Matt James:
Hey babe. Canada misses you and Elle, but it misses you guys extra when it’s drunk. Christmas without snow baffles me, so I think it’s time to hop off the Australia train and ride the express to Whistler. Oi, just try to avoid any sucky situations these holidays alright?
Dear Steph Weber:
Fact: I love Steph Weber. Not just for her facebook flirting skills or her amnesia either. She’s one of those underrated characters that end up being integral to the whole show. It’s like Lo from “The Hills,” without her, thousands of people around the world would not have incorporated the saying “totes m’gotes.” Well, without Steph, thousands of people around the world wouldn’t know that they are not alone in their mystifying memory loss. So Merry Christmas Steph, and I hope this one is as fun-filled and blurry as the last!
Dear Stoofie:
Though we didn’t see much of her this season, I think Stoofie deserves some recognition for her embodiment of what Whistler is. She boards, she parties and she sexts. This blonde bombshell does it all! In fact, I bet she can do all three at the same time. Now that’s some Christmas skills.
Overall:
I hope everyone enjoyed my elongated card, and wishes to Santa for a second season of the show. It’s been a great ten episodes, and though my liver may not agree with me, I feel like I learned a lot from the lessons of Whistler. Happy holidays!
Best Lines:
“He’s got a frickin’ ponytail!” – Mike, Dre’s friend
“How much drama would it start if i just got up and K.O’d this guy?” – Colton’s friend
“Let’s…DO THIS!” -Scoot
“Are we going to fight?” -Dre
andPOP insider interview with Ian and Scoot:
It’s the bromance of the century. Not only do the proudly don matching shirts, they have been secretly been working on a handshake that involves some legitimate posing. What do these two hilarious friends have to say about Peak Season? Read it here:
Did you predict the show would reach such heights of popularity?
Scoot: “I don’t know about Ian, but myself, I didn’t know, and I didn’t hold any expectations to it. You know, I didn’t bank on it doing so well, but once we started hearing ratings around the fifth episode that we were starting to beat The Hills I think we were really shocked. Like, we obviously hope its going to do well but we had no clue to the level that it would go and it’s just been crazy.”
Ian: “There’s no way we could have ever expected this. There was no expectation, and I think that’s why it blew up so much, there was nothing to say ‘it’s going to do well.’ But we just blew everything out of the water, and it’s pretty exciting to be a part of that too.”
Any news on a second season?
Scoot: “We haven’t at all actually. As soon as we do, everyone will know. It will be on twitter, we’ll tell the whole world!”
Ian: “Tweet tweet tweet!”
How would you be with just being a one-season show?
Ian: “I think we’re going to get a second season so I’m not really going to answer it. It’s going to happen.”
Scoot: “You only live once, so I don’t have any regrets. If this is it, and that’s all that there was, I was stoked to do it. Like we said, we don’t hold expectations, we didn’t expect it to do as well as it did, so if there’s a second season, awesome. If not, that’s alright too.”
Ian: “At least you can say you’re a part of the first ever Canadian reality show at the end of the day. So that’s pretty cool I guess.”
You have to convince a person to watch the show, what would you two say is that BEST quality of Peak Season.
Ian: “I think it kind of leaves you wanting to come back more every time you watch it. And the fact that it’s a docu-drama, that it is real. There’s this misconception that people think it is plotted, when it’s not. There’s nothing in there that’s been plotted, that’s how we live and how we did it, and I just hate the perception around the fact that people say that it’s scripted. I also think that it’s actually real, and people are like ‘holy smokes that actually happened…what’s going to happen next?’ And I think that actually worked out really well in our favor.”
Scoot: “Yeah, I’d say the realness of it and the relateability to it. I think a lot of kids that watch can relate to something that’s going on in the show whether it’s people’s attitudes or their characteristics they can relate to. Or it’s the couples, you know, everyone’s been in the break-up. I think that everyone who watches can say ‘I’ve been there,’ and relate to one of the characters, or at least what they’re going through.”
Ian: “And I think that, say with ‘The Hills’ or ‘The City,’ you can’t identify with the people in L.A. or Santa Monica driving around in $400,000 dollar BMW truck. When you see the show, you see people in Dre’s four-runner, and I’ve been there and our demographic reaches out to more people. And that’s what really helped us get those ratings up too.”
Scoot: “Yeah, you don’t really hear anyone in any other show worrying about whether they’re able to afford a snowboard magazine. We’re real people who enjoy real things that our viewers are doing as well.”
Ian: “When our group gets together, it’s almost like we’re toxic together, it’s like this formula of people and we all just explode. We’re all such good friends and close people that we feed off each other.”
In regard to the show, who would you say is portrayed as the craziest person in Whistler?
Ian: “I’d say Scheller’s pretty psycho.”
Scoot: “Yeah, I’ll go with Amanda. I think the crazy factor is the fact that she doesn’t seem like that. I was surprised when I saw it on camera. But Amanda is a bit Jekell and Hyde.”
Ian: “It’s like she’s undercover.”
Scoot: “She’s such a sweetheart when you meet her, and then you see things and you’re like, did she really do that?”
What was filmed last year that you guys wish was on the show?
Ian: “There’s one that comes to mind right away, and it’s when we had a dinner at my house one night between me, Scoot, Colin and Lauren. When all the filmers were there I think they thought we were just joking around, playing like we don’t know what were doing. But my passion is cooking, I love to cook, and I think Scoot too has something deep inside him as well. We whipped up the best curry you’ve ever had in your entire life, and they were all trying it after we finished filming, and we had a really good set that night. It was super bossy curry, I think we kind of blew them away.”
Scoot: “Yeah, it’s just this misconception, you see us partying but we actually do stuff too, we work hard, we’ve got good jobs and we cook and we do normal things as well. We don’t just do shots out of other girl’s cleavages. Another one for me that didn’t make it was we went zip-trucking one day with the boys, and we basically harassed our tour guide the whole time, and everything she started saying we would just turn it into this sexual line. We were in tears the whole time, the crew was in tears, and that’s probably why it didn’t go to air, because there was too much laughter going on.”
Ian: “It was so irrelevant to what was going on with the plot. I would pay to see this again. None of us had slept, we had partied all night, it was -10 degrees and raining, and we had her in tears the whole time.”
Bests
Moment:
Scoot: “My new best moment in the season is Ian and Dre, right before that bar fight, when they’re skipping through the bar, that’s one of my favorite moments.”
Ian: “I don’t even remember that. I honestly think the cooking scene that I just talked about with the curry was my favorite moment. It was just a really good time, and it sticks out as a moment to remember.”
Couple:
Ian: “Denny and Amanda (laughs)”
Scoot: “I’ll go with Dre and Amanda.”
Ian: “No, Colton and Amanda.”
Scoot: “Amanda and everybody.”
Ian: “Okay, amanda and ‘FRIENDS’.”
Line:
Ian and Scoot: “Expired milk.”
Scoot: “I got so many comments after Ian dropped that line from my friends that didn’t know him, and they were like ‘who is this guy!’ I was just like, stay tuned to our life.”
Ian: “Also the ‘al dente’ line between Jason and Dre. That was a really funny one.”
Scoot: “Oh, and the “wah woow” from me to Lauren. I totally forgot about that. I was in tears when I saw that because you forget, you filmed that almost a year ago.”
Friends:
Scoot: “The boys!”
Ian: “Yeah, the boys. Me and Scoot and Denny, that’s the bromance. Chicks love it, they eat it up!”
In Scoot’s case, it would be Lauren, and in Ian’s case, Stoofie. Was it weird watching conversations about you guys between the girls when you weren’t around?
Scoot: “No, it’s like you always know it’s happening, but to see it was actually kind of interesting. I didn’t really worry about it because when I started filming, Lauren and I weren’t together, so I started filming with the boys first. So it was super natural and super easy, and that’s what helped you get used to it. I don’t think they said anything super out of the ordinary.”
Ian: “We had a big boys trip-out one night, because we thought everybody was setting us up for stuff, and we had a big sit-down where everybody had to come clean. We just said ‘let’s not talk bad about each other.’ I was kind of expecting to hear more negativity about myself, but if anything, we’re closer as friends now. Like me and Dre didn’t hang out, but now we’ll go party together.”
Scoot: “Yeah definitely. Our core group, it can’t really be messed with, like someone would have to go really low, and it would have to be a big thing. And when you see other cast members in town, you have that relateability now because you’ve all gone through it. It just brings you closer to the people that were just acquaintances before, and we’re friends now. It’s fun, it’s good.”
Favorite thing to do together:
Scoot: “Uh, party.”
Ian: “Party, cooking, fishing.”
