[Frau Muller]

Crazy time zones for many of us!

Crazy outfits in the 80s? Cute orange…

 

[Karen-W]

I can't be the only person here to enjoy the RD live!

 

[Amy L]

I'm gonna stay up as late as I can manage! I'm in no tecknik with ice dance so all I can offer is bitching about 80s costuming.

 

[Amy L]

...and bitching about Ted's pronunciation because he fcked up Bowie again.

 

[Karen-W]

I'll offer up bitching about Ted's pronunciation... I didn't know that "Let's Dance" is performed by David "Bowerie"...

 

[Karen-W]

Neset/Markelov - really good job! I think their choreography in the mid-line step sequence does a nice job of capturing the essence of the '80s.

 

[PRlady]

I’m probably the only one watching!

I think I have an old-lady crush on Markelov.

 

[Frau Muller]

“Walk This Way”…reminds me of Scott Hamilton!

 

[Karen-W]

Veillon/Brandys - not good on the twizzles - not sure how she gets a L4 on them, to be honest. Effing YT ad! Eh, I'd rather it be during this team than several others, so, yeah...

 

[Karen-W]

I’m probably the only one watching!

I think I have an old-lady crush on Markelov.

Pshaw! There's at least 4 of us watching!

 

[Frau Muller]

Cute orange outfits from Aus’ Yuen/Ma!

 

[Kateri]

I'm up! These Canandians should worry that their level of hip-hop authenticity is being crushed by the baby Brits skating to the same music, because by rights neither should be good at that, but suddenly Ash & Atl look 100% street in comparison

 

[Karen-W]

Cute orange outfits from NZAUS’s Yuen/Ma!

fixed that for ya!

 

[Karen-W]

I know they're not as amazing as the Baby Brits, Baby Americans or Baby French, but I sort of adore the Baby Aussies!

 

[PRlady]

Adorable. I can’t believe I’m watching skaters born in 2010.

 

[Karen-W]

Li/Wang - those twizzles were a hot mess. Too many music cuts in this RD.

They were slow and careful. But cute. I don’t think you can get anywhere in ice dance without being cute.

 

[Karen-W]

FraForn - not too shabby - I thought her twizzles were fine, but I'm in no-teknik, I guess.

 

[PRlady]

I did too. There was a real smoothness to that. But I don’t get plaid for the ‘80s.

Yeah, the plaid has a very early '00s emo/goth vibe, lol.

 

[Karen-W]

Brazilians - yikes - red blobs straight across...

 

[Kateri]

Brazilians - yikes - red blobs straight across...

They were cute, though. 80s prom vibes.

 

[Amy L]

I know this has been said a million times already, but Father Figure for a sibling team?

 

[Kateri]

I just realised the Caroline Mullen's outfit looks like a shell suit, which is definitely a very authentic 80s fashion choice I didn't think I'd see represented! However, it's fitted and looks good, which is much less authentic.

 

[Karen-W]

Mullens - much improved from Linz!

 

[Karen-W]

Sooooooooooooo ready to sleep!

TkaKil - all 8kp on the RF!!!! Over a point higher than NesMark on TES!

 

[Frau Muller]

Israelis extra sharp!

 

[PRlady]

Israelis extra sharp!

Thanks. I’m sitting in Ministry of Interior for my residency appointment so had to miss them.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm shocked that TkaKil didn't take the lead, TBH. PCS was much lower than NesMark.
