Friday watch party: 2010 Olympics OD

[Jeschke]

Who was the blonde coach for S/B?

Wiki says Yaroslava Nechaeva!
I need her around again! She looked mega diva potential!

 

[Aerobicidal]

I never liked Bobrova and Soloviev more than I did when they were portraying seamen.

BF just wandered in and asked what I was doing. I had no idea how to explain, so I just said "I'm watching the 2010 Olympics with a bunch of strangers from the internet."

He just shrugged and said "Ok, cool". Didn't even bat an eye.

We aren’t that strange.

 

[ChelleC]

I abosolutely love this version of Bob/Sol.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Surprise, IT'S A GIRRRRLLLLLLL!

 

[VGThuy]

Who was the blonde coach for S/B?

Their original coach Yaroslava Nechaeva with Yuri Chesnichenko. They had issues with taste but man they developed Evan Bates, Emily Samuelson and Madison Hubbell. They should be in charge of developing ice dancers.

That hair reveal at the end gets me every time.

 

[quartz]

That is not the right shade of blonde on Bob.

 

[Jeschke]

Oh my, Krusty looks the same today!

 

[Jeschke]

That hair reveal at the end gets me every time.

MEEPOTS!

Maybe we should do a MEEPOTS & Co. Classic Best Of Edition in the summer

 

[Colonel Green]

I didn’t think you could wear pants back then.

The costume rules for the OD/SD/RD change depending on the theme.

 

[Jeschke]

Soloviev looks so so young!

 

[Vagabond]

Ice-Calc won't refresh!

 

[VGThuy]

Ice-Calc won't refresh!

How’s the Turkish feed?

 

[Jeschke]

Ah Chris is coming soon
I really liked their OD back then.
This was maybe my fav program of him with Cathy.

 

[Jeschke]

Slay Germans!
#TeamD

For the record! I really loved that OD!

 

[Aerobicidal]

I am wearing Christina Beier's costume right now.

But with a bigger lei.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Wut?!

 

[alchemy void]

Beiers costumes purchased at Party City

 

[Colonel Green]

Philippine-German siblings pretending to be Hawaiians. Good times.

 

[Jeschke]

Ah, I remember. They split the season before and she skated with Giesen (who with Frohberg were the most promising team we had in years ) and then they decided to skate together again.

 

[rfisher]

Philippine-German siblings pretending to be Hawaiians. Good times.

The Philippines and Hawai'i are both island chains so there is that.

 

[Skate Talker]

So no-one got up in arms about the insensitivity of this number because they tried to play it straight and not some stupid caricature.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Hubbell and Donohue need to spend the off-season watching all the Beiers' programs and meticulously copying everything except for the technique.

 

[VGThuy]

Thematically, that was a one of the better concepts.

 

[Kateri]

Boy lift! I mean girl lift! Cross... lift.. thingy!

 

[Barbara Manatee]

When does the Hawaiian dance part start?

 

[ChelleC]

So no-one got up in arms about the insensitivity of this number because they tried to play it straight and not some stupid caricature.

I'm honestly wondering how well this program would go over today. Yes, they are playing it straight, but I still think there would be people upset by it.

 

[Jeschke]

Oh Lohse looking damn fine

 

[alchemy void]

That was much classier than I was expecting, based on the costumes
