[purple skates]

I’m sure you will all be thrilled to know that my new curtains look nice. Thanks NBC!

 

[my little pony]

I feel like im being punked and the dance and or men are on some other tile

In the arena, starting in a few min. Starr Andrews singing national anthem.

The ladies working at the BBQ food place on the 2nd floor were whooping it up for Starr as she sang!

 

[Matryeshka]

As fab as the top three were, I feel like I've now seen those programs 50 times. I can zooby-zoo with all of them in my living room. Better than Zumba.

Tai Babilonia gave Mabel Fairbanks awards to Julia Lautowa's daughter Skylar and a junior male skater, Farris?.

 

[Allen]

I don't think I've ever been so happy to see Gabby!

Tai Babilonia gave Mabel Fairbanks awards to Julia Lautowa's daughter Skylar and a junior male skater, Farris?.

Maybe Caleb Farrington?

What a nice OBS hall of mirrors.

 

[MacMadame]

Errr...are Gabby's pants not zipped?!!

A producer should have noticed that and fixed it.

 

[Capt. DeSoto]

Was that mabel fairbanks presentation on the international feed / pirate feed? I'd like to see that.

 

[my little pony]

they wont let me put fix you behind me, just get it over with

 

[Karen-W]

Oh boy... Our first "married couple" fluff is upon us...

 

[Garden Kitty]

Just realized this was also being broadcast on USA from 6-8 with a description of Women's Free and Free Dance. it then switches to NBC at 8 with a description of Men and Dance.

 

[Allen]

I really don't care to know who made the first move between Madison and Evan...

 

[Vagabond]

Oh boy... Our first "married couple" fluff is upon us...

Please tell me that it wasn't about the Shibutanis.

 

[Allen]

Please tell me that it wasn't about the Shibutanis.

Or Neset and Markelov

 

[Karen-W]

Please tell me that it wasn't about the Shibutanis.

That'd be something... But, no. It was "The Newlywed Game" with Madi & Evan.

 

[just tuned in]

The commercials, USA promos, sponsor promos, commercials, fluff, etc. are on mute. But I am ready to stab my eyes out.

It was very brief. Just Tai Babilonia saying a few words to the 2 skaters in the kiss n cry area.

 

[Allen]

I feel like I should be more excited to see the Shibs...but, I'm not.

 

[canbelto]

Wow the Shibs really doing something new and different!

 

[MacMadame]

Are those new costumes?

 

[LilJen]

I love Maia’s freckles.

 

[Karen-W]

Sure, their love of skating is absolutely the reason the Shibs came back. It wasn't at all thinking they'd be able to easily skate their way onto another Olympic team. Or the promo/sponsor ad dollars...

 

[Garden Kitty]

One thing that hasn't changed despite the break, Maia's dresses are always lovely.

 

[Karen-W]

Are those new costumes?

Yes, the only thing new about their "Fix You" FD, lol.

 

[Amy L]

Maybe we can pass her off as Katia and Ilia's daughter Liza. Isn't she about Senior skating age now?

She's not much younger than Alisa, 24. And also looks like Ilia. Katia has US citizenship but we're gonna have to make Alisa pass for 54.
