#TeamTrainwreck 8: See you at Nebelhorn!

[nimi]

So... I'm kinda stupid/oblivious and can't locate the "search" function around here so I haven't checked if she's already been discussed but... I was wondering: Does anybody else think Mae-Berenice Meite belongs to this team? Not the greatest artiste but a talented jumper and beautiful athlete capable of a lot of things -- including horrible splatfests...

At the very least, you'd think she could've managed a GP medal or two over the years, but nooooo... I mean, she was already skating in seniors back in 2010, before the invasion of the Russian wunderkinds!

 

[rfisher]

@Vababond will publish the criteria at some point. We try to ignore them. He'll publish them again and slap us down. We'll laugh, and try again.

 

[Karpenko]

Mae is kind of a member of everything, she belongs anywhere she damn well pleases. plus she's a riot. You kind of have to give her the VIP card just because she's Mae.

Maé-Bérénice Méité has been nominated, but, apart from anything else, she isn't sufficiently heartbreaking.

@Vababond Vagabond [] will publish the criteria at some point. We try to ignore them. He'll publish them again and slap us down. We'll laugh, and try again.

Pressman is not afraid of breaking one's heart over and over again.

 

[Jeschke]

Folks! MBM has no #lightnessofbeing

And she is on her way downhill since...ehm...a while.

Yeah, this is my first denial of the season! Feels great to be back again!

 

[Karpenko]

See @nimi how much reading that is? we lose our ability to care to read in here, so basically if @Jeschke says yes, you're good.

Mae the odds be ever in your favor. and she's denied. See, it's that simple.

 

[nimi]

Thanks for the info, Vagabond!

Not heartbreaking enough? Well, we've got a whole season ahead of us! And I'm totally rooting her over Laurine for the Olympic spot (sorry) and most likely I'll be bitterly disappointed!

Like... Everybody here remembers last year's Trophee de France, right? Mostly because of the whole Leonova/pigeon thing and Laurine's costume change. But there was also Mae-B skating a disastrous SP (11th place, yikes!) and then her glorious comeback in the FP -- but it was only good enough to get her 7th place in the end, just behind Laurine and before Gracie and Mao. (Yeah.) So, good enough to get my hopes back up --- which will most likely be dashed this following season.

EDIT

Yeah, this is my first denial of the season!

Oh noes! I was denied just before I hit "send"! Woe is me!

 

[Jeschke]

so basically if @Jeschke says yes, you're good.

As if 'me saying yes' is happening too often in here

 

[Jeschke]

And I'm totally rooting her over Laurine for the Olympic spot (sorry) and most likely I'll be bitterly disappointed!

Oh, might be hard for you to find some friends in here now

But I already acknowledge your addiction to a skate. I guess you are right in this thread

 

[Karpenko]

I'm also rooting for Mae over Laurine! #teammae I mean the pun potential alone is enough for me, but she's genuinely really cool and also the underdog.

 

[Jeschke]

and before Gracie and Mao. (Yeah.)

C'mon, who has not beaten GG last season?! If we dig deep enough we will find a competition where even Queen U managed to do so

 

[Jeschke]

Oh noes! I was denied just before I hit "send"! Woe is me!

Welcome to the game!

 

[nimi]

C'mon, who has not beaten GG last season?!

Touché.

 

[Karpenko]

Idora Hegel could've beaten Gracie last season, maybe even Gedevanishvili on an off day! I think Gracie is the only one that was "the people's choice" and Jeschke didn't overrule, because he has feelings. she should've been banished to Saskatchewan, but all is forgiven.

Once Nebelhorn and the season is here there will be new potential members.

 

[SmallFairy]

YAY @nimi our team's first proposal of the season! Can't wait for Nebelhorn though...

True, Mae doesn't break my heart (but sometimes she's darn close, softie me) but she's smokin and bff with Vanessa J, and acts in general, so she's totally on my radar.

ETA or maybe it's not the first, I now remember @pinky came up with something...

IDORA HEGEL!

I like Mae, I sometimes root for her, but it's not enough to be TT worthy im afraid. Too mediocre in almost all criterias.

 

[alchemy void]

Queen U! Queen U!

My skating fandom is so warped. I'm more excited to see her and KFrank's programs, for example, than I am of the top tier ladies.

 

[Bellanca]

A mule kick is an automatic and instant qualifier for me. Nobody did it better than the future Mrs. Hochstein... Aah, memories... I'm feeling nostalgic.

 

[Karpenko]

You're all wrong and I'm right. #teamzhang no respect!

She could start a stand up career after skating and make a good living! Rodney Dangerfield part 2

 

[Jeschke]

#teamgrantoline all the way bitchezzz!

Not that I would care too much for Hochstein, but there is still the kitten and Caroline
#teamzhang
#zhangcomeback
#zhang4korea

 

[Karpenko]

Their kitty is the real deal. I heard from a friend at GF who met the kitty, that real-kitty is very friendly (like it's parents), and also well taken care of, well behaved, and loved by all of the people. #teamzhang #felinefriends

 

[Jeschke]

Folks, as time is ticking...
Who joins da wreck express to Oberstdorf?

 

[Jeschke]

Elvis it is for the Olympics:

Men FS videos have been uploaded (no Sr Dance yet)
Here is Nadeau http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5wtbxi
Another vote for him at Skate Canada!

250pts for Nic, edging out Balde and Firus by a mile!

 

[firstflight]

Maybe Harley's mom needs to intervene again?

Carriere's insta is scaring me....

Elvis it is for the Olympics:

Best news of the week, by far. I forgot how much I love this program and how he performs the hell out of it. #almostanuber

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Does anybody else think Mae-Berenice Meite belongs to this team?

Well when I once suggested Jennifer Robinson I was told immediately that she wasnt a heart breaker.

Since that criteria is still true (Rule 3) I would file her under that.

 

[alchemy void]

Well when I once suggested Jennifer Robinson

If I were you I would never ever bring that up again.

Mae is awesome, I root for her like crazy, but like others have mentioned, she isn't exactly heartbreaking, especially the past couple seasons.

 

[Vagabond]

Carriere's insta is scaring me....

If you don't stalk him, he won't stalk you.

 

[Karpenko]

^ those are words MANY people, even those who write that phrase, should live by. you won't get sh!t thrown back at you if you don't throw any sh!t.

That also goes for "journalists".
