Alberta = cows. Ok.

 

[Debbie S]

I still don't get what cows have to do with Browning.

His dad (and grandfather too, I think) was a cattle rancher.

 

[allezfred]

The only Lifetime Achievement Award Browning should receive is the one for burning down his own house.

 

[thvu]

Of course, since the hint was world gold medal since he doesn't have an Olympic one.

The first set of clues went over my head.

The leaf blower in the convertible!

 

[shan]

Me too...

 

[alchemy void]

Browning, really?
The Moskvins, TAT, Carroll, Yao Bin? Aliona Savchenko or Katia Gordeeva? I mean, I can name more than 20 more deserving people...

Chat agrees with you.

I like Kurt a lot but I think it makes more sense to have someone older and with a much longer history in the sport like Moskvina or Frank Carroll win this.

 

[cocotaffy]

I find him irritating but don't exactly know why though İ think associating him commentating with Carol Lane had sg to do with it

 

[miffy]

Fake Paul doesn’t know what ‘neon’ pink is?!

 

[alchemy void]

I have a ton of respect for Med but how the hell did this get nominated for "Most Entertaining Program"?

Definitely my biggest WTF nomination.

 

[thvu]

I don’t get Med’s nomination at all.

 

[Hanna]

If this award doesn't go to France.....

 

[thvu]

None of the French can afford AirPods?

 

[allezfred]

Gabriella and Guillaume sharing their earphones!

 

[rfisher]

Definitely my biggest WTF nomination.

Me either. I'm fine with either Gabby and her boy or Kevin to win this. He'll cry if he wins.

I love that P&C are sharing.

 

[Hanna]

Man..... Gabriella

Also, Guillaume

I'm just realizing how much I miss skating and all the skaters!

 

[Ka3sha]

Definitely my biggest WTF nomination.

I think her dress should have been nominated in the costume award instead of Hanyu..
But most entertaining program? Not so sure

 

[alchemy void]

Man..... Gabriella

Also, Guillaume

Same here!

 

[allezfred]

Suck on it haterz!

 

[Hanna]

Med is also a darling, although I don't understand her nomination at all.

Wheeeeeee, Gabi & Guillaume!!! This RD was my 2nd fave program of 2019-2020 after GEO FD.

 

[miffy]

Love Fame and the leg warmers! Happy with that result.

 

[alchemy void]

Good win for P/C. That program is the definiton of entertaining. And it was a bit of a risk to step so far outside their comfort zone.

Definitely one of my favorite programs of the year, with the obvious exceptions of programs from Leonova and Galustyan.

 

[allezfred]

They deserved it for that opening pattern hair flicks alone.

 

[miffy]

Ok this seems very unnecessary. Give Hanyu his award and then I can go walk my dog while the sun is still out

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Eteri wins best coach. Accepting on her behalf is Joan Crawford.

Whatever Happened To Baby Zagitova?

Chat seems to love it, somewhat surprisingly.

I'm actually really liking it, too. I'm not usually a show skating fan, but I'm starved for skating content. Plus I've always been a bit of an Elladj Balde uber.

 

[miffy]

I think this works pretty well as an online event. It would have been annoying in the Worlds gala, unnecessary when we should just have been celebrating the World performances. It’s been entertaining enough while there are so little other skating related things to watch. Well done Tanith and Charlie too although she clearly seems a lot more comfortable than him he’s done ok!

When I typed that the skating cutaways hadn’t started

 

[alchemy void]

If Hanyu doesn't win Most Valuable Skater, shit will hit the fan.

I'll immediately check out the carnage on Twitter.
