I still kind of wish Harris and Chan were just skating to The Shape of Water soundtrack. It would work so well with their costumes.

 

[tony]

Levels are starting out high considering this is group one and the teams that just barely made it through.

I've come to like the program a lot more than I did in the fall. I don't have any idea what the official story is behind it and they have no connection to each other, but it's not snoozy to me.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Is it just me or is Holly's dress a little too bare looking on top? With the bare sides, in the arena she must look like she is just wearing a skirt.

 

[CassAgain]

Concept programs can be hit or miss, but I like this from the Aussies. It’s lovely and evocative of the sea.

 

[Rukia]

I'll be honest I've never understood what this fd is about and I kind of just assumed it was a jrpg final boss battle

 

[marbri]

I really like the concept of this FD, I do think it's unfortunate they drew to skate first as I think it's a tougher sell as an opener.

 

[Karen-W]

The Elvis Decades!

LOL - yeah, there'll definitely be more than few Elvis RDs between the junior and senior ranks.

Maybe a team will waltz to one of the? I can dream?

Taylor Swift has some good music that has a waltz beat. The only problem is I can't see the IDTC selecting a waltz as the pattern dance for a 21st century RD theme.

 

[BlueRidge]

so wait its Mark only? thank goodness!!!!

Happy to see Harris & Chan skate well

 

[thvu]

Chan looked more over his blades than he has all season. Hopefully their backslide is over and they can keep up the progress.

 

[peibeck]

Harris/Chan: This dance is more cohesive than it was at the beginning of the season, and they do look more polished than I ever remember them being.

This is such a shady comment but the social media team is fcuking terrible. The most boring questions, the person they hired to do a lot of the backstage stuff has the most meh and monotonous voice, and the packaging is just cringe all around.

My apologies to FSU if said person is amongst the members. But certainly someone else could do an infinitely better job both in front of the camera, and the team behind the camera coming up with the constant nonsense.

It's like they went through all those applications they asked for and found someone with 400 followers and said 'wow, she must know what she's doing!'

 

[Citlali]

Finished lunch just in time to watch the last part of the Aussies skate

 

[marbri]

OMG again with the husband and wife stuff Mark.

yeah it's one of those things where either they just gave the assignment to someone already working for them or the person is being forced to heavily sanitize everything to fit the image the isu wants to present idk but like being good at sm is much more difficult than a lot of people imagine

 

[Karen-W]

Oy... I'd forgotten about KoKo's Streisand program. I can't believe BraSom sacrificed themselves for THIS.

 

[MacMadame]

Peacock is actually early!

someone slip something in their tea?

Coffee yogurt

 

[airgelaal]

So much love

 

[TAHbKA]

It's lucky there are Kovalev/Kovalev husband/wife team who make these KoKo look almost in love an plausible

 

[Kateri]

I'll be honest I've never understood what this fd is about and I kind of just assumed it was a jrpg final boss battle

It's all so disappointing, KoKo are using Final Fantasy music, but then mixing it with Streisand and doing nothing fun.

 

[her grace]

Olympic silver medalists

Maybe unlucky as they aren't here to compare

Much better end to their season than the start. This team seems like it's hit a ceiling, and I wonder if they can find a way to break through. They've struggled to find material that works.
