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

[marbri]

3rd or 4th neither of these two teams came her for scores in the mid-teens.

 

[Colonel Green]

Marjo & Zak eke out the bronze, but I don't think either they or Christina & Anthony will come away with fond memories of this event.

 

[shan]

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

Definitely on twizzles!

 

[PRlady]

Deliberately ignored TES box for the last two teams. Both really good but I was more involved in CPom’s FD maybe because the story is accessible.

I see the judges disagree and order is restored. Of course no one expected R/A where they are.

 

[Habs]

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.

Same.

 

[peibeck]

Damn, I was hoping Christina was going to give us "Wow" at that score.

 

[genevieve]

now this is the kind of voiceover that works (side-eying Ilia)

 

[Wyliefan]

now this is the kind of voiceover that works (side-eying Ilia)

"This is my church" five thousand times in a row? Er, no.

 

[Colonel Green]

Boo, bring back the smartphone program! The Olympic audience deserves to see choreographed ignoring-each-other-to-look-at-our-phones!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I feel exactly the same, underwhelmed and crabby.

It’s why I have not been posting or even paying that close attention since the women’s free program. I think I’m in a grumpy mood, thank you skate Canada. Lol.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Back in time to “this is my church” multiple times. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing.

 

[genevieve]

"This is my church" five thousand times in a row? Er, no.

In a low-key techno song? Of course it does

 

[Karen-W]

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

That's just what I was thinking - if everyone else can reheat old programs then I'd like to see CarPon go back to Perfume this season.

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

No, ZingKol don't. Their 2nd GP is Finlandia with FBCiz, GilPoir, TurkVers, SmaDie (trying to bounce back) and the Shibs.

 

[Desperado]

What is hanging off Saulius' pants - it's distracting and a risk to get caught on something.

 

[tony]

Checked her second twizzle, first was way far apart.

Yeah, it's all a vibe. I guess at this point throw all the scores at them because it's actually fun. But those skating skills ain't fooling me.

 

[Belsornia]

Whatever is hanging off Saulius’ costume is really distracting on the stream but wasn’t either of the times I saw this in person.

(Maybe they want us to look at his butt instead of her feet.)

Anyway, this is Insomnia redux but I enjoy it after all the angst.

And? We don't know if T/V will be there. Smart and Dieck are error-prone. We have no idea about the Shibs unless you want to tell me you do?

Slightly quirky techno seems like what we get for void these days in ice dance. The were giving a good performance, and the crowd got into the music.

120.03 = 1st Place
200.92 = 1st Place

 

[my little pony]

there is a lot of jazzercise in this "choreo"

 

[I Luv Bulldogs]

Same.

No hoodie, but samsies.

 

[peibeck]

There are so many toe hops in this program it's like an '98 Alexi Yagudin step sequence lasting 4 minutes.

 

[Braulio]

Ok so the Lithuanians given they would have to be at peak form by September I wonder if they will be able to peak again for January, February? if euros were tomorrow they would be on the podium indeed

 

[shan]

The GOE for these step sequences is ridiculous. No offense to R/A, but I don't see what the judges are seeing. Yuck.

 

[tony]

Her costume was undone at the top apparently the whole time? Dubreuil didn't notice.

 

[Kaz7714]

Yes, I know they are no techniks at all and utterly over scored in that aspects. But it's a fun program that works for them and we'll, they seem to actually enjoy skating it so good for them .

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

If you’re gonna pick club music, pick something more melodic. Every dj knows that… even in the Lithuanian church.

2002 dear don't age him that much. He was relatively boring still in 98

This is how I feel about them. Smoke and mirrors. But they got a decent standing O so it’s working, unfortunately.

 

[MacMadame]

For a long time, I didn't see what the judges saw in this team but this season I see them skating with a lot of confidence, maturity and they definitely interact and relate to each other as a team. If it were me, it wouldn't overcome some of the lesser skating skills (compared to lower-ranked teams like LaLa), but I'm not a judge.
