One last weekend of FSU Bingo before we give it a rest for months, lol.

I want to do something else next year but I haven't figured out what yet.

 

[Karen-W]

Good Lord, Chris... This is the last ice dance competition of the season. You do NOT need to try and sell ANYONE on what a good set of RDs we're in for. We've seen these RDs. We know better.

Has he mangled any names yet? And what is up with his voice? He's going to lose it entirely in an hour or so.

 

[Karen-W]

I haven't been paying close attention. Just now he said "the Japanese, then the Georgians..." He's onto us again!

LMAO - "the team for Japan"... Oh, he got their names right.

 

[Karen-W]

Superstar artist!

 

[MacMadame]

Superstar artist!

I think they are all covers until Elvis. Ripoff.

 

[Karen-W]

I judge the Japanese fans who are not there for the ice dance. It's 5pm in Tokyo. There's no excuse to not have a full arena, Japan.

Oh no!!!! Fall on the lift for YoMori!

 

[MacMadame]

First RD, first invalid element.

 

[Kateri]

Is it really going to cost them, Chris? They were gonna be last in this segment anyway.

 

[Karen-W]

First RD, first invalid element.

Well, for a little while, but I know the rule, lol.

Sadly, I only have "fall on a non-element" on my bingo card tonight.

 

[skatingguy]

Utana YOSHIDA / Masaya MORITA
Coach: Cathy Reed, Rie Arikawa
Music: Be Bop a Lula, Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On

Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:2
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 1 (B after review) - he lost his balance, double fall

-2.00 = Falls

That was such a shame to see the lift go down. You know you're a skating fan when you get excited by the speed, and ice coverage of their midline step sequence.

56.63 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

Is it really going to cost them, Chris? They were gonna be last in this segment anyway.

I mean, they're not gonna get a SB...

 

[Karen-W]

Are the Japanese women wearing blonde wigs in honor of Kaori's blonde hair?

 

[MacMadame]

Has Diana changed her hair? I'm probably confusing it with their FD.

 

[misskarne]

I had the week from hell in the lead-up to Easter, so it took me way longer than it should have to realise that SBS does not have WTT, us Aussies are joining in on the Youtube stream.

 

[skatingguy]

Diana DAVIS / Gleb SMOLKIN
Coach: M.F. Dubreuil, R. Haguenauer, P. Lauzon
Music: Lady Marmelade, Music is My Way of Life

Midline Step Sequence W:3 M:3
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 2
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 4

His skating is really quite enjoyable to watch - she's got some room for improvement. Solid skate, and more performance than Worlds.

76.47 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

I fail to see why DavSmo have any reason to be disappointed with their 10th place finish at Worlds, Chris.

 

[MacMadame]

What's the point of having a replay if none of the cameras are showing the whole body??

 

[MacMadame]

kettle of fish

 

[MacMadame]

kettle of fish

Oh, it's not on the list so:
random Chrisism
instead

 

[Karen-W]

kettle of fish

that's a random Chris-ism, right?

 

[MacMadame]

that's a random Chris-ism, right?

See above.

 

[misskarne]

lol I guess we know where one of the microphones is the way that clap was picked up!
