Will they get a SB? They should!

ticking all the boxes

Maybe? It is WTT. But, their Euros scores were really insanely out of whack.

Nope. Off by nearly 1 point.

 

[MacMadame]

When they show all the team boxes, I get a strong Hollywood Squares vibe.

 

[Karen-W]

GilPoir in their Canadian lifeguard costumes one last time.

I'll take Team Italy for the block.

Can I have some of what Chris is smoking? There was nothing close to a run for their money that GilPoir gave ChoBat in Boston. The judges made sure of that, lol.

He sounds like he's at home in bed nursing a hot toddy so that might explain it.

 

[Karen-W]

Chris just said that GuigFab have a "super RD" - and I think he means that in all earnestness. I guess that counts as the brilliant/super superlative.

 

[CassAgain]

I hope Charlene and Marco actually do burn these costumes after this.

Sure

 

[Karen-W]

No, Chris, there's nothing interesting about Jive Bunny or Land of 1000 Dances. The only interesting music selection in this group is the Beach Boys.

[MacMadame]

Is it me or are they slow today? Plus some of the in between stuff seems a bit off.

They felt a little slow/off to me today too. Like they were behind by half a beat during parts of the program.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’ve been watching everyone just too lazy to go get the iPad. Lol

I was thinking everybody looks slow so far, is it just the camera work?

[Karen-W]

I don't know quite what it is about this RD in particular, but you can really see just how much Evan loves DANCING in it. His smile is 1000 watts throughout the entire thing and I love to see him almost outshining Madi's energy.

 

[MacMadame]

perfect start

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - yay! Another SB for ChoBat. That'll set FSTW off in a tizzy. Teehee.

I did think that was the best they skated that program so a SB is fair...

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I will not miss these costumes
