[slicekw]

Babs looks so much happier as a coach than she ever looked as a skater.

 

[canbelto]

Aww Scary Babs actually looks so sweet sometimes.

Barbara is thrilled with the score - and after the little errors and the dress mishap, she's counting that as a victory for sure.

 

[Lara]

Omg I could appreciate their skating skills SO much more today.

I can’t believe we still have Piper and Paul.

 

[overedge]

GOOOO PIPER AND PAUL

 

[airgelaal]

Scary Babs and her phone need to watch the Lithuanians' program

It's a stopwatch!

 

[Matryeshka]

I'd give it to the Italians. But I really don't like C/B, so ...

I prefer the Italians too, but it's just not justifiable on this night.

GO PIPER AND PAUL!!!! I really love them. I'd be really happy for them to spoil. I know it's hard, but it could happen. It could.

 

[Carolla5501]

And really, Barbara you don’t need to carry around a little stopwatch. The judges aren’t going to believe your stopwatch over what they are technical panel tells them.

It's a stopwatch!

She really seems to genuinely love being a coach. She's very caring with her skaters.

 

[floridaice]

The door is cracked open -- go for it!

How could you ever think that's a phone?

 

[Rukia]

grab that computer piper it will save you from the drama

 

[canbelto]

Wuthering Heights bc in 19th century England, women definitely wore floaty chiffon slip dresses.

 

[Vagabond]

 

[floridaice]

I thinks that's the best twizzles I've ever seen them do

 

[airgelaal]

Marco and Piper wanted to get to the date operator. Failed

 

[caseyedwards]

Bad score

 

[Steph]

I was meh about Wuthering Heights at the top of the season but it's evolved to incorporate some of this team's intrinsic weirdness and now I love it.

 

[tony]

Nice program, some great moments, but Vincent and especially Both Sides Now are just flat-out better as a whole and better at masking their deficiencies, mostly from her part of shallower edges and not the strongest pushes.

Lajoie and Lagha really should be on the podium this year.

 

[slicekw]

I blame Wuthering Heights for the really bad Hallmark movies and K-dramas.
Not to completely take Jane Austen off the hook, but, seriously, what the heck was going on in that Brontë home?

 

[MacMadame]

Wuthering Heights bc in 19th century England, women definitely wore floaty chiffon slip dresses.

I don't get this program at all. And why would you make a program about a horrible abusive man trying to destroy other people's lives anyway? (That's my summary of Wuthering Heights. I know it's supposed to be a romance, but..,)

 

[once_upon]

I’d still have L/L in first.

Yes. And I don't understand this concept by Piper/Paul. I'd has La/LA in first. Italians second, C/B third.

 

[marbri]

This FD is

BRAVO! They can't win but I would have that FD ahead of C/B and G/F.

 

[Wyliefan]

YESSSSSSS

I really think that's the best they've ever skated it.

Branwell Bronte had some problems.

 

[Rukia]

I don't think they could have skated that better and that music is breathtaking

 

[terisa]

If I had done a shot every time skaters served ham at the boards today, I'd have alcohol poisoning by now.

 

[overedge]

That was so beautiful

 

[Steph]

Bravo. That was a hell of a skate. They got hammered on a couple of levels but that interim technical score!
