[Hanna]

Opening the stream and hearing the first words out of Mark's mouth be 'Papadakis and Cizeron'.

 

[Karen-W]

Peacock is live and we still have Mark (yay!).

 

[BlueRidge]

Go Natacha & Arnaud!

 

[Rukia]

oh i forgot lorraine was just wearing last season's fd costume in a new color sigh

 

[Wyliefan]

That's a nice way to describe M/S's remake of a remake, Mark.

 

[BlueRidge]

oh i forgot lorraine was just wearing last season's fd costume in a new color sigh

Why is she doing this?

 

[Desperado]

Love this thread title!

 

[Wyliefan]

Olivia's high ponytail seems much better suited for this program than the bun was.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I forgot about the bedazzled emphasis on Smart's front and back. Just why?

 

[Rukia]

[Lizziebeth]

Peacock is live and we still have Mark (yay!).

I hate commentary and avoid it if I can. But Mark is fine because he does not yammer on during the skating and his after skate comments are pretty useful in general. IMHO of course.

 

[Rukia]

why is this river song so popular now?????????????????????????

 

[Hanna]

I see Maurizio is recycling music. T/V used this just 2 seasons ago.

 

[thvu]

TIL Lagouge & Caffa have connection despite all the evidence otherwise.

 

[Rukia]

good thing that boy is pretty cause he can't twizzle

 

[leilaofpaper]

what is on her dress? looks like a snake which is weird for a song called river.

much prefer pereira’s costume yesterday. also thought the canadians had the energy for this song whereas these two aren’t bringing it

 

[PRlady]

why is this river song so popular now?????????????????????????

Who just skated to it yesterday?

 

[tony]

Who just skated to it yesterday?

Pereira/Michaud

 

[marbri]

I went straight to the ISU bio link when that music change kicked in to see if these two were really French.

 

[Rukia]

what is on her dress? looks like a snake which is weird for a song called river.

it's a water moccasin in the river who I guess is finding digesting their food the best part of their day and you will never tear them apart

 

[Lizziebeth]

Her dress front is weird and has too much illusion.

My rule is that the dress should at least look like it won't fall down without the illusion.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

WTF split slide to the judges

Best laugh of the day actually

 

[Private Citizen]

The random writhing on the ice in front of the judges was everything.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I thought they were going to start doing the worm when they laid down in front of the judges

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

It is so nice to see people who just skate for the love of skating.
Even if they are completely terrible in it.
Don't listen to anyone, do what you enjoy
Yes, you might have the edges of a hockey player, the dancing ability of a hockey player and a general gracefulness of a... hockey player, but you wear nice shirts!

 

[thvu]

sigh at those choreo steps...

 

[Rukia]

I thought they were going to start doing the worm when they laid down in front of the judges

worm snake they're all the same

What was that? I didn't understand the connection between the pieces, and using just one of them would have created a more cohesive program.

94.43 = 1st Place
154.67 = 1st Place
