[beepbeep]

We can’t have nice things, can we?

 

[rfisher]

I'm not even an Amber fan, but I hate to see any skater implode like that.

 

[Colonel Green]

Very sad for Amber, but congratulations to Niina on what I'm pretty sure is Estonia's first Grand Prix medal.

 

[floskate]

Amber Just no words

 

[tony]

Petrkoina medaling when I found her boring AF. I remember ranting about her Skate Canada SP score last year being so low

 

[Wyliefan]

When I first saw Loena in the warmup, it was at an unfortunate angle. The earrings and the choker made it look like her ears were bolted to her neck.

 

[Sylvia]

This crowd has been pretty amazing, trying to carry Amber. I fear her falling might be my fault; I'm sure she heard me scream all the way in Allen. I scared the hell out of my dog; he fell off the sofa.

This made me laugh, thanks!

 

[Matryeshka]

MADONNA. YEEEESSSSS. Loena was made for Madonna, ooo-la-la-la indeed.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I liked Loena's SP costume a lot better.

That being said, I see how we get here from Beyonce and Madonna.

 

[VGThuy]

I’m pre-conditioned to love this program already. I’m just made this way.

 

[Vagabond]

Ooh-la-la!

 

[Carolla5501]

I have to confess I got a call and I put put Peacock on hold so I start watching Amber and I think she’s doing wonderful and then I see the comments on here. I fast forwarded past the second half of her program. Bless her heart.

 

[kwanfan1818]

After the halfway point, when she was doing steps, it looked to me like Glenn's legs had stiffened, and she wasn't getting down into her knees. At which point, by heart sank...

 

[thvu]

Thank you for saving us Loena.

 

[Holy Headband]

Loena is all business so far. I'm not feeling seduced across the dancefloor or anything, but she's getting the job done.

 

[flyingsit]

I love Loena’s skating and always hate her music.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I have to say, I'm not sure I've ever seen bedazzled bottoms on a skating dress before. It sure is something.

 

[Wyliefan]

Loena's very businesslike today. Just checking things off one by one.

 

[Amy L]

Very sad for Amber, but congratulations to Niina on what I'm pretty sure is Estonia's first Grand Prix medal.

There's been a handful of Junior Grand Prix medals and lots of Senior Bs, but I believe the first Senior GP!

 

[Simone411]

Oh my goodness. I think that Amber was so excited by that triple axel that it gave her an adrenaline rush. I don't care if she fell on the other two jumps. She was still amazing even under all the pressure.

All I know is this. It takes a lot of guts to get out there in front of an audience and on TV for millions of fans to see. That goes for any skater I see that gets out there. Thank you Amber for letting all of us see that beautiful triple axel!

 

[skateboy]

I like Loena but grrrrrll... it's just too much meaningless handography.

 

[tony]

Loena's program is going to blow up on social media, I'm certain of it. Especially the voguing movement she does low on her toe picks late in the program.

But she continues to go more and more tentative into her jumps. I don't know when it started happening but I think it's progressively getting worse.

 

[thvu]

Like, I don’t even care that this program is just 50% vogueing.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

But she continues to go more and more tentative into her jumps. I don't know when it started happening but I think it's progressively getting worse.

Perhaps she thought it was working for Isabeau?

 

[flyingsit]

That 3A was a dream 3A, I must say. It’s how jumps should look.

It’s what a Kaetlyn Osmond 3A would have looked like.

 

[rfisher]

I like Loena but there's a lot of misdirection in that program while she just strokes around the rink. Jorik could do better by her.

 

[tony]

Perhaps she thought it was working for Isabeau?

Nah, it started before Isabeau was in the picture. But this program just magnifies it.

 

[Aceon6]

Love the commitment to the waacking. This isn’t some half assed nod to the era, it’s full on.

 

[Holy Headband]

A hilariously empty program, I must say.
