Cup of China 2024 Pairs FS PBP - Judges Can You GOE Me?

[Karen-W]

she was smiling up a storm.

Just happy to be here! And not finishing dead last.

PerMich are trying to give ChtWoz a bronze here and make my CoC pairs podium prediction come true.

 

[MacMadame]

LOL! Look, I made a reasonable argument that those lifts caused death in all of our souls. And I've been denied a bingo through the men & pairs so far. I'm trying to get one here!

I need lip-synching and I don't think I'm going to get it given the music that is coming up.

Also, I don't remember smiling to the tango in the movie so we have a second smiling inappropriately.

 

[beckab81]

Lots of face touching during the choreo seq

 

[Aceon6]

Still thinking of how awesome this might be if clean.

You don't think Sara or Niccolo won't give you some good lip-synching to Babs?

 

[tony]

What is this, seriously? The program ends on such a dud, too.

There's literal zero excitement and they have the ability to bring the house down with the right programs.

 

[Colonel Green]

This is a really well-choreographed program, including commitment to making rote elements like the pair spin interesting.

Imperfect delivery today, but a big improvement on their first Grand Prix.

 

[MacMadame]

Is her illusion kind of orange?? Please say Yes so I can get a BINGO

Working with ice dancers appears to be not working out.

Yep

Yes

It's not a happy, let's sing along song.

And yes, her illusion is very orange.

Not on my screen.

Coach cam on replay - both getting ready to applaud the sbs jumps, and then both dropping their hands in resignation

I can tell they are putting in the work on the choreography, and the nuance and performance quality was much better here. But that doesn’t change the fact that the base quality of the choreography just isn’t quite there. It’s fine, but not stand out.

I think they are capable of more, but they’re not getting it for whatever reason. I think next season they need to try someone new. I think a Wilson/Bezic combo might work well for them. They have personality to show and I think they could bring it out of them.

 

[MacMadame]

OKay, I got BINGO! And I'm killing Lia's costume. It makes her look weird.

 

[tony]

Not on my screen.

Look at her back. It's orange as hell.

 

[Wyliefan]

Lia wobbling in that lift almost gave me heart failure.

 

[Karen-W]

Since when has that ever stopped a skater from singing along to the vocals?

 

[MacMadame]

Not on my screen.

Haha. You got very overruled.

Can I count that as frosty/mad coach?

 

[Colonel Green]

I hope "ignite some energy in her thighs" becomes a stock commentator phrase.

 

[MacMadame]

Can I count that as frosty/mad coach?

Eh, sure.

 

[tony]

If I have to deal with another year of Paul Poirier supposedly being porny when we have this in front of us, it really might send me over the edge.

 

[slicekw]

Man, I loved the Canadians every time he lifted her off the ice.

 

[MacMadame]

These costumes are rather literal too.

 

[Karen-W]

Eh, sure.

Bingo!

And, maybe Minerva got a new dress? Or just cleaned the back of the skirt off the old one? It's enough of an improvement over the previous one that I'll let MiNiki keep their costumes and nix ConMac's instead.

It's infinitely better.

 

[honey]

I also don’t think this program is anything to write home about. They are better than this choreo, which is fine, but generic. They have the skills to make something beautiful and memorable, but this falls flat for me.

But their consistency and quality is going to make them tough to beat in any competition.

 

[Kateri]

I don't get why they only did 1 rotation on the death spiral, the camera was being stupid. It looked deliberate, but that would be odd.
