2025 Skate Canada Free Dance PBP - I Know What You Did Less One Ear

[JoannaLouise]

Anthony's shirt looks like stone, is he supposed to be the cathedral?

 

[Desperado]

Nothing says "Ave Maria" like having your head in someone's crotch.

 

[just tuned in]

Gorgeous.

ETA: Sorry, I am behind. "Gorgeous" is for LaLa.

 

[peibeck]

I guess so many candles have been lit for CarPom they feel obligated to open with "Ave Maria?"

 

[my little pony]

now that I have an emotional support hoodie, I am brave enough to type I have no idea what you all see in the CarPoms, specifically the Pom half.

 

[Braulio]

Spin Level 2

 

[tony]

Little hiccup coming out of the curve lift on the set down. Once again looked rough, had a similar issue in the RD.

Almost slipped at the very start of the diagonal, too.

She is such a star. He looks in constant angst and even when he hits his levels on individual elements, it's so wooden. That said, liked it more than I thought I would on sake of music choice.

 

[MacMadame]

I love Christina's dress. The program, not so much.

Scott making his students exercise his demons by having them skate to his rivals music. The skating looked very secure, and solid, but the program is lacking tension, and dramatic energy at this point in the season.

114.40 = 2nd Place
191.23 = 2nd Place

 

[Kateri]

That girl just loves to die at the end, what can you do? It limits their programme choices, but the heart wants what it wants.

 

[her grace]

C/P

Excellent twizzles, improvement in Ponomarenko’s expression, good vehicle for them—they handle dramatic music so effectively

 

[Sally1214]

I really really like Christina and Anthony a lot. One of my fave dance couples on the circuit. Their dance spin only got level 2 though. They're going to have to work on that.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I don’t know if I’m in a grumpy mood lol or what but it’s just war horse after war horse. Recognizable music after more recognizable music. Doesn’t anybody want to dare to create something different? Maybe that’s why I’m not watching much this weekend.

I want a new rule instituted for three point standard deduction for familiar music. they can use it, use your Notre Dame but incur a three point deduction.

Tech panel and judging harsh this week in Canada.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Maybe it’s been a while but Anthony now gives me Dad vibes. She has become the star in this partnership. Not a fan of the green earrings though too distracting.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, I still don't love this program as much as their last two FDs, and I'm just laughing at the GOEs from the judges because it's ridiculously low. And not at all confident they'll stay ahead of LajLag with Chris telling us the tech panel has done their dirty work.

 

[Wyliefan]

Chris doesn't sound optimistic. Well, better here than at the bigger events.

 

[peibeck]

Wow, CarPoms lifts are such a struggle. And then they have to give me yet another Notre Dame that I don't want to ever hear again.

 

[MacMadame]

Correction.... I love her dress except for the "flesh" straps holding the shoulders up. She should try clear instead.

 

[skategal]

Speaking of recycled programs and sacrificial lambs….I wish C/P had gone back into the archives and used Perfume FD again.

This FD pales in comparison to Perfume.

Christina really outshines Anthony in this FD. He needs to bring his inner Quasimodo. Lol

 

[just tuned in]

Anthony interprets this music with every muscle in his face.

 

[shan]

114 for CarPon

 

[Spikefan]

I don’t know if I’m in a grumpy mood lol or what but it’s just war horse after war horse. Recognizable music after more recognizable music. Doesn’t anybody want to dare to create something different? Maybe that’s why I’m not watching much this weekend.

I feel exactly the same, underwhelmed and crabby.

 

[Braulio]

So Anthony and Christina wont surpass the lithuanians I think, unless they have a major error

second medal for Allison and co. and maybe a GP Final! @tony

 

[tony]

Ouch.

This is massive as they now have likely zero chance for the GPF and Z/K actually have a chance.

 

[Aceon6]

Fair scoring

 

[thvu]

This program doesn't work for CarPom. It's too much, it doesn't really give them any personality IMO, and it highlights how sloppy their lines can be.

I also think the construction of the program doesn't allow the elements to get great GOE, especially in the middle part, where everything seems like a struggle.

Maybe it’s been a while but Anthony now gives me Dad vibes. She has become the star in this partnership. Not a fan of the green earrings though too distracting.

Not the earrings of a Roma girl

Tech panel and judging harsh this week in Canada.

I’ve felt like calling has been harsher all round this season.

 

[Wyliefan]

Disappointed but gracious. Watch and learn, Ian Somerville.
