The Shibutanis Thread Cinco...Mambo!

[chapis]

LOL omg. I wonder if Meryl or Charlie felt awkward seeing each other dance with other partners during DWTS.

But it is not only that, I mean, you know, for the first time, Maia and Alex would be allowed to dance sexy or romantic with someone, all their career, they did everything except that, in fact, they had to be very careful about it. Meryl and Charlie did sexy/romantic together after all, they had practice before DWTS . But for sure it would be fun for Maia and Alex.

That’s one reason I want to see it! Even though I love that they show a different bond than the typical sexy/romantic one in ice dance, that doesn’t mean I would be against them getting sexy/romantic on the floor with different partners . I think it would be fun to see them explore that side too.

And let's be honest...I think Maia and Alex have become way too attractive for people and they now want to see them explore that side in performances and they obviously can't do it with each other so maybe DWTS will give people the opportunity to see Alex and Maia let it rip in that way.

Yeah -- and it's time for them to take a little time out and have boyfriends/girlfriends too!

it will be nice seeing them at the closing ceremony because they were no in the opening. With their medals and all

It will be on tv "live" but I think it won't be fully covered, at least on NBC. Gala starts at 7:30 EST, but coverage starts at 8.

hi, where can i ask about info regarding signatures and pictures?

 

[Mrs. P]

It looks like NBC will show some of the gala during their primetime coverage. I'd expect they'll show the Shibs.

I sort of wish the Shibs would bust out their Fly On program but That’s Life is fun.

What kind of pictures?, I guess Getty images, but IMO, the best pictures of Maia and Alex, you can find them on their Instagram accounts.

I love That´s life for their exhibition because it is very different from their Mambo and Paradise.

It’s a gorgeous program but the Olympic audience has already seen them skate to Coldplay. I think the Sinatra/Jay-Z mashup will be a huge hit and bring in even more new fans.

Not to mention that people think that Fly On is an original idea of Adam R.

So NBC primetime with the gala has been indefinitely interrupted because we have a tornado watch and they want to tell us about every conceivable detail of the weather instead. Like, I don’t care about the potential tornado heading towards my town, NBC, I want figure skating

Mexican male commentator: It has been a great performance here, the rhythm, the relaxation, the dance they did, and obviously the grace, she has a very special magic, her look (gaze) and she has a spectacular figure/body .

I created a 6th Shibs thread here:

https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/the-shibutanis-thread-6-paradise-found.103499/

The first post has links to all the previous threads and links to their social media accounts and YouTube page in case new posters find their way there.

Coverage of the gala was spotty but I did get to see Maia and Alex - love that program!
