Splitting barns.
This weekend’s ‘wtf’ news comes in the shape of Vanilla Ice‘s latest reality TV series, Vanilla Ice Goes Amish. The show is a follow-up to the Vanilla Ice Project which saw the 90s pop icon become a handyman. This time around the DYI Network are sending Ice into America’s largest Amish settlement in Ohio to learn “all about hand craftsmanship, barn building and brotherly bonding,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The Hollywood Reporter continues with details of the first episode in which Rob Van Winkle, as Ice is legally known, “tackles a kitchen renovation for an Amish family — power tools and handy gadgets not included. Without electricity, Ice immerses himself in the art of old-world construction while his iPhone dies a slow, drained-battery death.”
And as if all this wasn’t enough, the DYI Network has announced two more music-related shows including Reverend Run renovating a 9,000 square-foot New Jersey home and best of all “Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall Project, which features Hall & Oates‘ Daryl Hall renovating his 1700s Connecticut home.”
