I didn't think the Finlandia incident had anything to do with Amber - I thought it was related to Guillaume Cizeron and the stupid comments from the former judge that have been making the rounds again this week?

In space alien romances, it's usually the male who is drop dead gorgeous and the female (at least thinks she is) less so. This is reverse alien role plplaying.

Having read a lot of them, I concur with this assessment.

Except in Ice Planet Barbarians. The aliens are blue but not conventionally attractive.
 
What about Farscape? :) They were both obscenely hot. Or does it not count bc it's tv? Maybe different bc basically a human-looking alien. But the plant alien was very pretty as well.
 
Pairs LP
Walsh & Michaud - Come on kids. Radford & James are no that of a threat (yet). Regroup!
Liu & OShea - Good new pairing but I fear is too late.
Pepeleva & Pleshkov - break
Knierm & Frazier - not enough
Calalang & Johnson - a nail biter for the 2nd spot.
Miura & Kihara - Awesome fighting spirit. Im a fan!!!!
Boikova & Koslovski - A shame they missed their momentum . It seems all to be mental
Tarasova & Morozov - Mishina & Galiamov should be pleased.

Best Dressed - Koslovski
Do Hard - Michaud
 
Men LP

The boys redeemed themselves. Thats good.

Aymoz - Good to withdraw
Siao Him Fa - boooring first half.
Danielian - At this point he should look forward to next cycle.
Grassl - meteor crashed
Brezina - that music makes him look even older than he is among this field.
Sato - gotta give it to the kid, he makes me care for Phantom
Chen - The unbeaten was beaten, whichi is good for the olympic race
Ma - back to reality
Uno - overall nice 2 program package. I would root for him.
Zhou - he seems so in the zone, this would be huge if repeated at Beijing.

Best Dressed - Zhou
Do Hard - Chen
 
Oh my goodness with the exception I think of Kaori the top six women at skate America all face each other again at NHK.

How did that pan out???

Oh I just looked at Rostelecoms entrants, now I have the answer. Lolz

And my buddy got photos with her

Lucky buddy! If only he managed to snag a photo of Zachary or Nic too! Amber was such an angel to take photos with her fans.

I’m no where near as clever to do quick recap like the others on here.

Zhou - so happy he’s putting out consistent great performances to shut up the naysayers about getting named to Olympics 18 and his disaster Worlds 21! This is how you rebound.

Uno - I don’t get the love for his sloppy landings and stiff free leg landings. His short program top was beautiful.

Chen - better to have these skates now than later.

Daria needs less makeup and a different color dress for the short.

Korean ladies have gorgeous dresses and good content - happy for You!

Proud of Amber for two great skates. Keep the momentum going.

Satoko is breathtaking. Don’t care about her small jumps. Give me musicality any day over jumping robots with frenetic choreography. Make me feel something!

Pairs - happy for T/M. They needed the confidence boost. And no Jeschke, their costumes don’t match well.

Who would have thought The Japanese team would have taken silver here? Great showing, priceless reaction.

B/K aren’t my cup of tea.

USFS needs to support Calalang/Johnson now to set them up for the next quad.

The speed and ice coverage of the top dance teams is noticeably different than the other teams.

I wish FB/S would move their rotational lift out of the end corner. It needs to be showcased more and not hidden at the side.

I’m team H/D and liked they went for the risky lift. Hoping it always gets approved.

I love Madison Chocks alien look. I think C/B need a stronger second half in the FD. The music kinda lets them down. Smart and Diaz have a dynamic ending that picks back up after a slow section. Maybe c/B should mix in something from the planets - like Jupiter.

Tech panel was tough on steps in both segments for dance but not in singles. Lots of L4s.

All in all it was amazing to see live skating again!
 
Dance FD

US#3 - Quite decent. Enjoying the exposure.
SoucisseFirus - thrown under the bus.
KomatsubaraKoleto - Excellent costumes, not much else.
Polish - choreo totally unrelated to the music. Thrown under the bus X2
Morozov - there may be some favoritism but she's doing her part. Solid young team with a future.
Smart Diaz - well that final half was explosive. Well done
Cadanish - this on the other hand while fast and energetic does not go anywhere.
Snake Alien - the WTF effect is wearing out quickly.
HubbellDonohue - I wouldnt mind them overtaking SinKats for silver.

Best Dressed - Olivia Smart
Do Hard - Sorensen. I think I have a new crush.
 
Ladies LP

Yokoi - generic program with randon Queen on the background meh.
Kurakova - Love her bubbleness and spark.
Shin - Break
Andrews - Out of her league
Miyahara - A good rebounce but I if never hear Tosca again it would be too soon.
Glenn - A fighter and that's great but... See you at Tallin!
Kim - With no 3lz this is a snooze
You - The music carries her up. Well packaged.
Sakamoto - Awesome commitment and adore how she just lets go but the content is no longer enough.
Sinitsina - too overcooked maybe??
Usacheva - I was just wishing for Kaori to get bronze so I didnt pay much attention.
Cruella - Shes Plushenko incarnated with all his virtues and flaws.

Best dressed - Kurakova
Do Hard - Sakamoto
 
Pairs Recap
  • Tarasova/Morozov - pretty good showing here, but not as convincing as they might have liked after losing to M/G at Finlandia. I hope they medal at the Olympics, since it sad in Korea last time and their programs this time are much better than Candyman, but I'm cheering for M/G and S/H much more. And the SP costumes are not good.
  • Miura/Kihara - just a great story, and great KnC reactions (and pretty nice skating too). They might make the final, which I definitely didn't predict. Don't like the FS music though - too serious for them
  • Boikova/Kozlovskii - losing to a Japanese pairs team is not a great start to their Olympic season :slinkaway The programs are weak, and I agree, her smile in the FS makes no sense. Good to go for the combo, but I'm not sure they're going to get it in time. They need to get their heads together, because they can still be Olympic medal contenders if they start delivering
  • Knierim/Frazier - the FS is does build nicely with a clean skate, it'll be a great Nationals moment like Boss said. Good competition for them, even though I'm sure they wanted to medal.
  • Calalang/Johnson - the SP is fun, the FS I could do without
  • Pepeleva/Pleshkov - they just shine so much in the FS. Classical romantic stuff just fits them so perfectly. Glad they got to the GP this season, because the competition is so much in Russia, and the jumps are a bit :yikes:
  • Liu/O'Shea - I still don't think they look at/connect with each other enough in the SP for such a romantic piece, but I love that song so much so I don't care. There should be more Taylor Swift in figure skating (in programs - they play the upbeat songs plenty for warm-ups). Nice choreo in both programs, and I always love a team that looks happen to be out there
  • Walsh/Michaud - let's just pretend this event didn't happen and move on, yes? The FS dress is nice at least

Biggest winners of the event: Japanese, Mishina & Galliamov

Best costumes: B/K FS, Danny in the FS, Alexa's FS dress from the back (the front cutouts aren't my fave, but the colour is gorgeous)
 
Men Recap
  • Vincent - great event for him. He really has improved so much. The SP I really like now, not feeling the FS as much, but skated like this it'll work
  • Shoma - sloppy. Best Bolero of the season though.
  • Nathan - not really feeling the programs at this point. Nice 4Lo though. Hopefully this takes a little pressure off, cause the long unbeaten streak is a lot
  • Shun - I'm not into the programs, but the jumps are pretty great. Now go take care of the shoulder please
  • Ma - can't write Jimmy, because that makes me think of hockey (it's a german guy, does boss know this one?). SP was a moment, but I don't love Swan Lake for him. He's more interesting with modern stuff - he should have programs like Adam.
  • Big Bro - FS costume feels very Nathan 2018. Looks good though. I'm here for the dad rock programs. Summer of '69 is fun live.
  • Italian Astronaut - his programs are both a miss for me this year. And when the jumps go like that, not a fun watch.
  • Nam - well, definitely better than Roman at nebelhorn. Congrats after a tough summer. But if this is his last season, did it have to be a Josh Groban FS? :rolleyes:
  • Adam - best set of programs this season. Didn't really sell the SP here, but so fun when it doesn't go terribly and he commits to the steps. Glad he got the 2nd (his) Olympic spot
  • Artur - still coming back from the injury
  • Kevin - glad he WD, that SP was brutal
Biggest winner: Vincent
Best costumes: Artur's bejewelled SP shirt
 
Dance FD
  • USA #whatever - first random, unnecessary voice overs of the event (not the last). Not a program that'll help them stand out, but pretty nice. Wolfkostin/Chen are coming for that last 4CCs spot though
  • Can #4 - best program they've had in a while. But they're more likely to be passed than make the Olympics at this point
  • Japanese - pretty dress
  • Poles - not doing it for me at all. Judges agree
  • Morozov daughter - I went and got food during most of this so, no comment :slinkaway
  • Spanish sword fighters - I love so much that some of the music is from the Puss in Boots soundtrack :D Swordfighter choreo steps and sound effects on the ending are so great. Stronger than Finlandia
  • Canadanes - this program is some weird ASMR yoga new age thing, and for some reason I love it. Can't say why. Well besides that they're both hot and I enjoy looking at them. But yeah, it works for me. Need to fix the last lift though.
  • Buzz Lightyear and hot alien - concept is cool, not totally working for me yet. Needs a stronger last part or something
  • Hubbell/Donohue - apparently the lift is legal, at least for now. I'd for sure be fine with them getting silver at the Olympics.
Best costumes: Misato, Nikolai
 
Women FS
  • Yokoi - music fits her more than the SP because at least it's fun, but yeah, it's no Matteo's Queen program
  • Polish/Russian sunshine girl - adorable reaction, much better program than the short. She's so cute, how can you not root for her ??
  • ⭐ - program is fine, no progress on the tech. She does always have the best matched illusion mesh, on the plus side
  • Immortal beloved girl - voiceovers must go (except they might be the most memorable part :rolleyes:), rough rough skate
  • Satoko - PCS way too low (like her jumps :slinkaway ), nice program
  • Amber - most I've ever like her skate honestly. Well done. Glad she was happy with the score
  • Yelim - not very memorable
  • Young - great skate, actually performed and sold the program. I was skeptical, but it really worked her. Nice.
  • Kaori Japanese WOMAN - I just can't with this program. WTF Benoit? (feels like I'm thinking that a lot this season)
  • Russian chess girl - program not as good as the short, but skates much better than test skates. Good job. Awesome spins.
  • Usacheva - I even liked the SP, but this is not it. With no 3A/quads, she really needs to be perfect for the Russian battle.
  • Cruella - gutsy girl pulling it out. From almost WD to gold and in position for the final. Hope she's not injured too bad. Love that first song so much.
Biggest winner: Trusova (1st place, clean FS, good score, happy KnC, satisfied Eteri)

Best costume: Young You, Satoko, Kurakova (so cute)
