That Kavaguti/Smirnov program was epic.

Weary from current batch of emo pop ballads. I was listening to Dionne Warwick doing some Burt Bacharach numbers - 60`stuff. Great lyrics, breezy melodies and harmony. A natural for dance. But, what about for ladies? Swirly patterns on a mini skirt and matching halter top.

Phil totally pissed about coming back from vacation. He sounds like a bitchy queen at a piano bar (I`m totally gay and from Stonewall era. Please, no hate)

I appreciated the rawness of her story. There may have been some tidying up at the end but on the whole it was refreshingly real. On a different note I liked her but thought she was a flash in the pan - 3 senior seasons in the public eye. But, if you include the later seasons where she was...

It takes skaters a long time to skate both programs with everything in at a single competition. I think Ashley only skated her beefed up programs cleanly at '16 worlds. Sometimes a skater has to get mad enough to do it. I think this Amber. If her body continues to hold up she'll do it one day .

Great, all this publicity. He`s young, typical fearless teen ager, master of jumps. This is just what USFS needs to get younger people interested in the sport. Now, just hope they don`t f*** it up - too much pressure, endless events/intereviews, messing with the people around him.

I just don`t get Kagiyama. A reliable jumper. Everything correct. Good skating skills (though, I`m not really versed). What is a real downer for me is his artistic side. Little expression. All his programs kind of look the same and generic. People saying he`s the best that ever lived...

This may not be correct, but when there is technical brillance (not just excellent) a PCS package goes along with it. Look at those little Russian girls - with all their jumps were they really at the level of Kostner?

Did I hear it right that Carriera and Ponomarenko added 4 pts to their free skate personal best. That`s big in dance, no?

Lopareeva and Brissaud were so interesting. The humor is real. So many unconventional positions. Don`t know what I`m talking about, but I know what I like.

Maybe I`m imagining it but I thought she was faster and more agressive in her jumps.

I don`t follow pairs as much as singles. But I do notice that pair`s women are fierce. At the end they`re the fist pumpers. Magean, Hase, Deanna and of course Alyonna are totally in your face. Are single ladies less like this or or they told to turn it down? A nice result last night and a...

Ilia has improved so much. He`s only 19 maybe and maybe should save the wear and tear. He may have to wait out a couple skaters the judges seem so taken with. Keep the 4A and his knees fresh for Oly`22.

I`ve been wringing my hands over Camden for years. The 4T was one thing but the whole program was a bit squishy. A step 2, spins looked slow, etc. That`s really disappointing.

OMG, how old ARE you?🤣
