My knee is effing killing me so I'm going to probably just go for the last group.

MAY TORGY SKATE CLEAN PLZ SKATE GODS

I know this is just shouting into the wind, but:

• the Peacock WORLD FEED starts in 15 minutes.
• It will be late
• Despite the first few minutes of silence, there will be commentary by Ashley Wagner and Adam Rippon

• the Peacock REGULAR feed starts in 30 minutes and it the USA NBC channel broadcast.
• it will have Terry, Johnny and Tara
• there will be commercials
• they will probably start with recaps and only show the final 2 groups

[genevieve]

ok whatever - clearly I'm not watching that feed this comp

 

[Carolla5501]

I never thought that I would be grateful to hear Johnny and Tara. But I’ll be waiting till we flip over to live skating on whatever NBC feed it is and heading there as soon as it starts.

 

[Aceon6]

Coverage Will Begin Shortly Sometime

 

[Frau Muller]

Ok, here we begin our wait!

“Coverage Will Begin Shortly” on Peacock “World Feed”
“5 minutes to go”…really?
I want to see Xie & Mindra live!

And my other favorite line: “Peacock, get ready to push the button!”

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

My kid walked to the store and bought me a Dr. Pepper and I have some chips and salsa. Ready for the men to start!

 

[just tuned in]

Coffee and pretzels.

 

[genevieve]

[Frau Muller]

Pizza and a salad, to feel semi-healthy.

Just had a chicken burrito and chips and cheese dip. Eating Ben & Jerry's Tonight Dough now.

 

[Karen-W]

I mistakenly told my mom 11am and she's already texted asking why Peacock says CWBS. I had to explain to her that this week, we're flying by the seat of our pants.

 

[tony]

‘my Peacock screen hasn’t started, is it just me????? Please? Someone????’

Hopefully the skating today is wonderful

 

[Firedancer]

Peacock is live

 

[Frau Muller]

They’re on!!!!

 

[Rukia]

[genevieve]

[just tuned in]

Ooooh, Columbus Symphony Orchestra.

 

[Frau Muller]

This guy is struggling…we need Jonathan Beyer!

 

[just tuned in]

The soloist sounds like the Cowardly Lion.

ETA. If someone were squeezing his balls.
