The Gala - Put a sweater on that rat!

Fear & Gibson do kitsch and camp better than anybody in the exhibition

Yamomoto showing off his boy band bad side in pleather and perfect hair.

Lovely from Deanna & Max. Very classy.

 

[Desperado]

As much as I love them, I don’t know why Deanna & Maxime chose a love song for their Gala program. It’s just not the connection they have.

Kaori’s dress colours.

Fear & Gibson do kitsch and camp better than anybody in the exhibition

and also in the competition

Piper's outfit is more Miranda Lambert get drunk and punch an ex who done me wrong than John Denver, but they're both so adorable, I'll give them a pass.

The line dancing with Deanna and the dude who's always on the ice with her was cute.

 

[mtnskater]

John Denver and cowboy hats. As a fellow westerner, I approve!

 

[~tapdancer~]

Just love Piper and Paul! And I do think their FD is their best yet.
Finale now. Great job as always, Skate Canada!

 

[~tapdancer~]

Whoa, that triple team star lift was cool!

 

[Matryeshka]

So Mendez has a cartwheel. The question Skate Canada needs to be asking themselves is can he waxel?

Kaori’s dress colours.

It's an old dress. She used it last season.

I didn't know until today that there was such a thing as acrobatic figure skating. He does a back flip with a twist!

But can he do a Biles 2?

Michael Weiss wants credit for doing it 20 years earlier.

Ok, I give... what's the deal with all the "rat" references for all the SC thread titles?

At a previous event in the same venue (the GP final or Cdn nationals) a rat ran through the stands, much to the disgust of several FSUers who saw it. Complaints were made and apparently Mr or Ms Rat was caught and dispatched to . I think that's the reference.

Wow! Thanks for the info.

Zingas/Kolesnik have a Gloria Estefan number. They look very sharp, but now that I'm watching for it, I can see what you all were saying about their lack of ice coverage. Something for them to work on.

I was sitting at the end near the KnC and noticed the same thing about ice coverage, particularly in the FD. They were directly in front of us exactly once, at the 3:40 mark. I noted the time because I kept waiting for them to come over to our side!

Now this Moana program is tacky as hell and I like it
Lin Manuel Miranda catchy tunes.

I find this team delightfully odd overall. I'm here for it.
