TSL mentioned Lifetime's entire coverage of this event has been uploaded onto youtube by Hyacinth B. And holy shit, this is GOLD.
Lifetime covered pairs and dance this season, in something of a proto-reality show format-- light on actual performances, but heavy on backstage drama, interviews, and intrigue. I remember hating this format back in the late 90s when the only means to watch the skating was on TV. But with the advent of streaming, I have to admit I wouldn't hate to see NBC go to more of a reality show format like this today, for at least the Grand Prix events.
I've had this on in the background while working and I keep watching and getting distracted--it's SO good.
A few random highights:
Bourne & Kraatz, pay attention
FP/M claiming B/K aren't friendly with anyone
Dubova: "This is absolutely joke"
Johnnie Stiegler, in his own words
B&K not allowed onto the ice so Shae Lynn hops over the boards
Sale/Pelletier are not fans of Russian cuisine
Denis Petukhov, pre-Melissa Gregory, best music ever!
Seriously, there are so many more. I haven't even gotten to the FD showdown yet. What are your favorite moments?
Obviously Margaglio was really playing up to the camera here. I'm thinking Katsalapov could make an excellent dance villian, for obvious reasons. And Andrea Joyce does a great job building up the drama.
Should NBC go the reality show route, at least for ice dance?
