NHK 2023 Rhythm Dance - Big (GOE) in Japan

[Andora]

The first part of G&F's RD feels like a program reimagined from I, Tonya, and I think I love it more for that.
Because the terrible "Against All Odds" edit isn't it.

 

[tony]

you are very biased against Paul and Piper for that matter lol because that is easily the best

His big juicy ass does not equal best skating in the world. Sorry.

 

[Ka3sha]

Their ability to skate as one person and in synch always amazes me

In no reality they should be getting same TEC score at the brits, but hell it's ice dance

Because the terrible "Against All Odds" edit isn't it

I know, why are these two pieces chosen together?

 

[Rukia]

you are very biased against Paul and Piper for that matter lol because that is easily the best

I can see how you would say thing having never made it to their feet

 

[genevieve]

that was some of the strangest music editing ever.

I... wanted more from that. Like, I wish they'd leaned into the moments of camp at the very end for the whole time. If they were going to use soundtrack songs from different films that don't relate, like just do an aerobics program or something. The skating looked great but the sum of the program was less than its parts

well….. yeah it do

Wow. Just criminal scoring.

 

[Gris]

Only 0.34 over F/G? Lol it's so over.

 

[Matryeshka]

agreed. They are very kiss inspired or rock inspired

I think it's supposed to be super-hero inspired. They went with a very literal interpretation of "hero".

I love the Italians. They don't necessarily have the best programs, but they actually skate and actually dance. It's not just a series of moves in between highlight lifts CoughChockCoughCough and they're fairly evenly matched. I look at them as a team, not as which one is better than the other and should skate with Somerville. I always know I'm going to get quality from them. Maybe not the best or most memorable, but something worth watching.

 

[tony]

I felt there was going to be a push from F/G for World bronze last year (figured G/F would be dumped to that position), and it looks like the same shit might end up happening this year.

It wasn't Charlene and Marco's absolute best performance, but there's no way in hell the points should be that close. Lilah and Lewis actually beat them by half a point on TES, too.

Her eye shadow reminds me of a psychedelic eye mask for mrs. incredibles

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Welcome to ice dance, the show where everything is made up and the points don't matter...

 

[Karen-W]

Well, well, well... Marie-France is making it clear she wants that Euros title back in the IAM camp this season...

Between the idea of FearGib at the top of and DavSmo on that podium in Kaunas, I worry FSU might combust, lol.

 

[Debbie S]

Italians' PCS is higher. They lost levels on the steps. I'm sure there will be a bigger margin in the FD.

 

[peibeck]

The Brits score being that close to the Italians score is garbage. That's all.

I was thinking the same thing, but couldn't get the right wording.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

well, here are my standings for rhythm dances for worlds at the moment

1 Piper and Paul
2 Maddy and Evan
3 Lilah and Lewis
4 Charlene and Marco

You mean you hope so. We know you live for the drama.

 

[Karen-W]

You mean you hope so. We know you live for the drama.

Well... it is the only way I truly enjoy , when I'm not heavily invested in any of the teams in contention.

makes sign of the tiara and says three Hail Deannas to stop this from manifesting

What's your ranking if you base it on skating?

 

[skatingguy]

Yes, but I said like Poirier. The same kind of... not porny.. vibe style he gives off

It's all in how you pronounce the 'like' - completely changes the meaning of the sentence.

 

[skatingguy]

Well the husband count today is FRANGIIIIII AMD HEKTOR

What about Matteo Guarise?

Agreed. When I say I want to like them, I'm referring to the program itself a d costuming, not their ability. I appreciate that they skate and dance and not just pose and pout. And get flung around like a sack of potatoes. Their lack of difference in height is a challenge. I appreciate them as a team. I'm just not a fan of the music cuts and the packaging overall

 

[Debbie S]

What's your ranking if you base it on skating?

Honestly, with Worlds in Canada, I would expect the top 2, but I don't think G/F will be off the podium. Of course, this is assuming everyone skates their best.

 

[thvu]

Australian judge put the Finns last, and 8th in PCS.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Has anyone attempted Madonna this season? A successful effort would have been epic.

I wonder (hope) if this is the year substance is going to be rewarded over style.

That doesn't explain Fear and Gibson.
