Oh boy... looking at this roster, all I can wonder is "Who are these people?"

3 teams who were top ten at worlds last year, one of whom was also world junior silver medalists - deeper field than last week.

Four Russians slumming, and twelve real people?

Okay. I guess I just didn't find pairs very compelling last year. Obviously I know who Deanna and Max are, also Matteo G.

Maybe when I see the rest it may spark a memory.

Last week the SPs were overall pretty decent. The free skates definitely weren't.

Go Aussies

 

[Karen-W]

Peacock is live and we've still got Mark!

 

[tony]

Guarise sporting a black eye? Or it's just the lighting? Or my eyes are going already?

I'm just going to blame it on the lighting.

 

[Sally1214]

I'm back! Kitchen cleaned up, brunch prepped, table set, cats fed, pjs on and a glass of wine poured. It's amazing how much one can get done when there's a skating deadline!

 

[Colonel Green]

KMT has a very pleasant commentator voice.

 

[Amy L]

I'm glad there was a delay for the opening ceremonies. A few minutes after dance ended, my mother announced that I needed to take her to the store NOW. It's gonna rain tomorrow so we needed to hurry up and get the dog food and yogurt now

It was the perfect amount of time for me to eat supper.

 

[quartz]

Ok! Finally getting to watch in real time. Also in my jammies and am on my second glass of wine.

 

[Rukia]

uh oh it's raining

 

[peibeck]

Guarise sporting a black eye? Or it's just the lighting? Or my eyes are going already?

Well if you're looking at his EYES obviously something is wrong with your vision.

 

[Ananas Astra]

This is actually decent by sexy Guarise and his new partner.

 

[tony]

I was just typing how he still fits very well into his costumes after all of these years

I was quite surprised to see him continue after Della Monica because they had a peak many years before they finally called it quits, only to just regress and drop in the standings for a while.

This was quite nice, very stable. Kinda disconnected from each other but I think this has more choreography than what he showed with Nicole.

 

[Rukia]

I'll be honest I barely watched anything they did as a pair

 

[Matryeshka]

Caught up on the ladies, ready for pairs! And by ready for pairs, I mean I had three glasses of champagne and a sake margarita cocktail thingy and an apple vanilla cider with whipped cream vodka.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Just keep the camera on Matteo All. Night. please.

 

[Wyliefan]

Beautiful clean program for the Italians!

 

[JoannaLouise]

SBS spins that were actually in unison!

I hope the first team having all green blobs is a good omen for the rest of the night.

 

[Jay42]

I enjoyed that. I also really liked the music.

 

[Amy L]

I hate their LP so much they make me their SP too...

 

[Karen-W]

Really nice program from BecGuar. Too bad their FS is so terrible, lol.

 

[peibeck]

These sbs spins are in different provinces, but otherwise a respectable GP debut for this team.

Solid skate. Not much connection between the skating, and the music. Something to build from.

65.83 = 1st Place

 

[tony]

Frozen feed for me. The curse of Canada continues. Someone stepped on the cord.

Actually I don't think I can blame Canada because my entire TV just reset itself

 

[Colonel Green]

This partnership is coming together nicely. When Matteo decided to continue I really wasn't sure how it would go.
