Well, figuring out how to disable the ad blocker took way too much time. Where are we in the competition and I'll fast forward.

 

[Rukia]

Jordan Moeller hahahahaha his intro is killing me.

Omg this program. It is something. I actually kind of dig it.

 

[Wyliefan]

Some of these program explanations are taking me back to that SOI spoof where they did an ice dance for the fire ants of the rain forest or whatever.

I am at around 27 minutes. Julia is about to start.

Jordan Moeller...what’s happening

It's a speech from the Charlie Chaplin movie, The Great Dictator.

Im watching Julia recreating Mariah Bell’s Celine program

 

[Wyliefan]

The speech is so distracting I can hardly pay attention to the skating!

 

[rfisher]

Mueller's program is a no for me.

About 27 minutes in now.

Yeah, I kind of had a "oooh that's bold after Mariah's program" reaction to the music, but she's doing well to it.

 

[ChelleC]

I agree, but with what little bit I'm able to pay attention, I think he's interpreting it decently.

Honestly, it's a powerful statement for the present.

 

[Rukia]

I appreciate that Julia Fennell doesn't have any story other than "it spoke to me" (aka I just liked the music)

 

[Wyliefan]

Kudos to Julia for keeping it short and sweet. "This song really speaks to me," period.

 

[rfisher]

I just FF to Tomoki.

 

[misskarne]

Yay, Tomoki! Cowboy Bebop? I'm looking forward to this!

 

[Rukia]

Tomoki is skating to Cowboy Bebop???? Ahhhhhh amazing I love him.

Edit: He picked some of my favorite music too. Fantastic.

 

[misskarne]

Oh, Never Enough.

 

[rfisher]

I. Want. To. See. Tomoki skate that in March. What an amazing program.

 

[Wyliefan]

Tomoki! That was awesome!

 

[Rukia]

I. Want. To. See. Tomoki skate that in March. What an amazing program.

Can you imagine what it will look like with some time on it?

 

[ChelleC]

Tomoki needs to keep this as a program! It's amazing!

 

[Wyliefan]

Ooh, pretty dress on Maxine.

 

[misskarne]

I. Want. To. See. Tomoki skate that in March. What an amazing program.

My thoughts exactly, god I hope that's just a shortened version of his actual FS!

 

[Rukia]

I'm not really a fan of this song, but Maxine is looking fab knowing what kind of time these skaters have had. Good on her.

 

[rfisher]

My thoughts exactly, god I hope that's just a shortened version of his actual FS!

I was so caught up in the footwork, I didn't even pay attention to his jumps. They were just part of the program. That has the makings of being an outstanding program for him.

 

[Wyliefan]

Different style for Karen. I like it.

 

[Sylvia]

After group 1:

Hiwatashi 116.52
Chen 110.76
Shin 105.66
Moeller 104.11
Bautista 97.18
Fennell 82.38

 

[Rukia]

I think this program really works well for Karen Chen. She certainly seems to connect to it.

 

[misskarne]

I'm sorry Camden but I 100% fast-forwarded through your interview for now, I just want skating!

 

[beckab81]

I like that for Karen - hope she keeps it for the season! Tomoki was the highlight for me
