I do actually love the Brits, but the endless snark over the scoring and how they aren’t as good as other top teams reminds me so much of how everyone was with The Kerrs, and I’m laughing it off this time round

 

[Aceon6]

I’m here for my first live segment. I hope everyone skates well, but I do have my druthers.

I’m here for my first live segment. I hope everyone skates well, but I do have my druthers.

I'm here for my 5th live segment of the day and oh so ready to sleep when it's done, lol.

 

[skategal]

Yay ice dance!

 

[JoannaLouise]

Also here for my first live segment of the day!

I meant to watch the women too, but I can't tell time.

 

[skatingguy]

Mark is bringing the snark today.

 

[Ka3sha]

The discipline that can either save the end of the day or bring the biggest shitstorm. Let’s see where it ends

The snort of laughter I made when I read this thread title!

Please don’t spoil the junior dancers for those of us planning to watch them next on replay.

 

[beckab81]

First segment I get to watch (I'm catching up on all the others once this is done) - looking forward to some wild scores!

 

[PRlady]

Only 3 couples and still a near-collision?!

 

[skategal]

We all know ice dance scoring sucks so I’m just going to try to enjoy the performances.

[skategal]

Wheee LaLa!

I love this RD.

Slay!!

 

[marbri]

I feel like there are three battles going on here with the judges and they take place in the order they skate. 6vs5, 4vs3 and 2vs1.
Not my battles but where I think the judges heads are.

 

[Aceon6]

BTW, I’m watching for the first time on our shiny new TV. I can see every makeup blending mistake!

I don't think there's anything to spoil there

LaLa were somehow sharper a couple of weeks ago

Coach: R. Haguenauer, M.-F. Dubreuil, P. Denis
Music: Michael Jackson Medley

SqTwW3+SqTwM3 - Zach checked the rotation of the 2nd twizzle (Marjorie went up to 4 after review)
MiStW2+MiStM3
Pattern Step Sequence 3 (2 after review)
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 4

If the judges were looking for reasons to leave this team in 6th place it will be the slight mistakes on the twizzle sequence.

74.74 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

LajLag - twizzle errors from both of them, but this is one of the best RDs of the season.

 

[Gris]

LaLa were somehow sharper a couple of weeks ago

Yeah… Don’t think this is as good as their CoC RD.

 

[swissskate]

Not today that we're going to see Zachary smile I guess

 

[Wyliefan]

After all the "they have lots in common" narrative we've been getting lately, Ted reverts to "They are completely different personalities."

 

[skategal]

LaLa were somehow sharper a couple of weeks ago

I think it’s hard for the more inexperienced North American skaters who will be in a dog-fight at their Nationals next month to do their best performances here.

It was good but not the best we’ve seen this season.

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't think there's anything to spoil there

Mm, I wouldn't quite say that.

I watched the first 2 of the 5 events live and then caught some sleep. I set the alarm to watch this live and my helpful made sure I was awake a few minutes before the alarm went off I had to attend an evening concert yesterday which interfered with any plans to catch some sleep before everything started. Had time to get coffee before this.

 

[Karen-W]

Why is Mark letting Ted mangle names?

 

[skategal]

Take my breath away Lolo!!
