#FIRSTLOOK: VANILLA ICE IN NEW DIY NETWORK SERIES “VANILLA ICE GOES AMISH”

Following the great success of his DIY Network Series The Vanilla Ice Project, ’90s rapping Sensation Vanilla Ice sets his sights on a new endeavour in VANILLA ICE GOES AMISH.  The Home Renovation Series sees the handsome Entertainer-turned-Restorer deep into an Amish Settlement in Ohio, as he upgrades their lives with ultra-modern improvements, without depending on Power Tools.  Truly, his abilities as a Craftsman are put to the test.  Along the way, Vanilla Ice bonds with locals from the Community as he adapts to their lifestyle and traditions.

I had the pleasure of reviewing a Screener for the Series and was touched by the bonding that took place and you almost cannot help but fall in love with Vanilla Ice and his disctinct Texan-Floridian Twang.  Although perhaps a bit too skimpy on the process aspect of the renovations, the Series scores big on the scale of entertaining.  You should see the Kitchen he whipped-up for an endearing Couple, the Husband surprising his Wife for her Birthday.

The handsome Vanilla Ice himself is in Toronto tomorrow on a Press Blitz for the new Series!  We had the pleasure of meeting him two years ago when he came to promote The Vanilla Ice Project and he was just awesome. More on that here!

Vanilla Ice Goes Amish premieres on Sunday, October 13, 2013 on DIY Network Canada at 10:00 PM EST.
