Six couples in the second group? I guess they didn't want an extra ice make, but why tempt fate for a collision?

Same thing for junior pairs where one group had 5 pairs

 

[Aceon6]

Gilman’s Members Only jacket with the sleeves pulled up is incredibly accurate costuming.

 

[once_upon]

I was expecting some back street boys with his costume

 

[Wyliefan]

They just threw up a chyron saying that Epps/Gilman were Zingas/Kolesnik.

 

[Karen-W]

So, Epps/Gilman are actually Zingas/Kolesnik according to the chyron on Peacock.

Epps/Gilman

Nice start to the event. Good expressive faces as they performed elements. Think they could use more ice coverage on second set of twizzles. Speed seemed to fade toward the end. Well-performed.

 

[peibeck]

Plaid skirt and pastel sequins? Epps/Gilman are perky and have potential, but they skate rather far apart and their transitions out of elements are a bit rough.

 

[CassAgain]

YES S S S S!

USFS = CHEAP SKATES

Maybe that is what makes this the "World Feed".

 

[Aceon6]

I’m not sure how I feel about this Safety Dance mix. Doesn’t matter as they’re skating through it anyway.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

What have they done to Safety Dance?!!

 

[Karen-W]

I’m not sure how I feel about this Safety Dance mix.

You'd feel better if it was performed by a better team.

 

[once_upon]

I know I was busy having kids and all, but I don't know this music.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Oh, Igor. That explains it.

 

[her grace]

Cialella/Goldshteyn

Rather far apart at times. Fun ending choreo

 

[peibeck]

Ciallela/Goldshtyen: Well the best thing about this is the voidy music. Sadly, neither this team or their choreography live up to the void potential.

 

[her grace]

Already the coaches don't fit in the k-n-cry.

 

[Aceon6]

Hair. Check. Booty shorts. Check. She’s missing the colored socks pulled over the boot tops, though.

 

[once_upon]

I think this costumes would do better with a Springsteen set.

Ok footloose, that works

 

[her grace]

Renzi/Lissauer

Scary twizzles. Nice unison through steps. He seems very stable in the mini-lifts.

 

[shan]

I'm surprised by some of the seemingly random songs put together and then I hear Footloose and it makes more sense. I forgot all the music that was on the Footloose soundtrack.

 

[peibeck]

Renzi/Lissauer: Oh, he's got Anthony Pon's twizzle tech.

I wanted to like that more, but it just clicked every cliché imaginable.

 

[Amy L]

Her outfit is horrible. She fits the theme perfectly

 

[once_upon]

Huh? Costumes

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I haven't heard Debbie Gibson in forever. Teenage memories

 

[Wyliefan]

Li/Le Coq are already very good at projecting out to the audience.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I accidentally zoned out and missed the dance starting.

This costume for her looks like if someone heard about the 80s through a game of telephone and tried to recreate it without seeing it.
