2026 Olys Rhythm Dance PBP - Livin' La GOE Loca

[terisa]

As far as gay icons, G/P are not it.

I don't know a gay man who wouldn't rip that shirt to shreds and trash it. Except for Paul, that is, but I don't know him.

 

[miffy]

I'm waiting for a costume change where someone rips open their shirt when the music says "I'm too sexy for my shirt".

Saulius went for the low cut/open look which is probably the closest we can get

 

[Smiley0884]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I always feel like I must be missing something because everyone else seems to love them. They would be my fridge break if I didn't already come prepared with snacks

I felt the same until I loved their 80s RD and their programs last year, but this year has been rough. They were trying their best to sell that RD, but it just doesn't suit them at ALL.

 

[Karen-W]

Good performance from GilPoir. TES is actually climbing after the tracker dropped off the TV screen.

 

[genevieve]

Paul's expressions in slo mo are cracking me up

 

[slicekw]

It felt like Piper and Paul were out to outdo the French on the “supermodel” kind of look. Which they kind of did.

 

[YukiNieve]

My friends are worried about the blades of the F/G and C/B, which were damaged by the podium's rough surface yesterday.

I hope they have been sharpened well!

 

[PRlady]

Unsurprisingly second but that dance is just not it.

 

[miffy]

Louise says Paul's wrist cuff caught on Piper's leg (tights I guess) I didn't see that.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The Level 4 on the pattern step held.

 

[Cachoo]

Pppffffttt....they deserved more

Jackie Wong posted that they looked good in practice today

 

[Bunny Hop]

Yes! Season's best score. Very happy for them.

Now Lopareva/Brissaud - I love them too. There are too many teams I want on the podium!

 

[Colonel Green]

I don't know if they've ever actually mentioned it and she's been commentating them for years

ETA: Brenda did just call Carol Lane coach but that might be the closest to saying it I've heard.

She does discuss coaching them on the broadcasts frequently. I don't believe they make a point of mentioning it every time she does, though.

 

[Elisheba]

L/B are generally my favorite team. I am always sad they can't make headway.

 

[once_upon]

Not a popular comment but her "O" mouth movements seem too much.

They deserved the scores, Just my opinion

 

[MacMadame]

She does discuss coaching them on the broadcasts frequently. I don't believe they make a point of mentioning it every time she does, though.

I just can't believe she's not in Milan with them. It's like she's dumping them along with the judges.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I hate Lop/Bri's RD as well, but at least they skate to the music, which can't be said about almost anyone so far.

 

[CantALoop]

I love me some Evegeniia and doubly so for her being the only girl rocking a 90's pixie cut

 

[miffy]

I love L/B So sad that they probably won't be in the final group for the free (unless someone has a disaster which I don't want to root for).

 

[Skaterbob]

Evegeniia Looks like she is chomping on gum with this expression I kinda love it. lol

 

[Colonel Green]

I just can't believe she's not in Milan with them. It's like she's dumping them along with the judges.

This isn't new. When she commentates for CBC she stays home to do it and Juris travels with them.

 

[Jammers]

There's a junior team waiting to plow everyone down too.

They won't even be eligible for Seniors for another couple of years and new teams just up from Juniors no matter how good struggle for awhile. Unless they are a team like V/M and P/C or even D/W most Junior teams take awhile to move up and challenge the top teams but those 3 teams are among the greatest of all time.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Lopareva/Brissaud - Yikes, those twizzles looked very close on TV. Now this terrrible song does take me back to the '90s. It was played incessantly on the Video Hits program on TV. Pattern-type steps look good to me - like the changes in hold. They performed the hell out of that. Well done!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Pattern Step 3, under review.

 

[Desperado]

Lopareva / Brissaud look like they had a great time - love them.

Best revenge is to live well, kids!

 

[Aussie Willy]

L&B - +5 for finger guns

Love me some Daft Punk. And I did love that.

 

[MacMadame]

But it's THE OLYMPICS!!

Also, great from L/B.

 

[her grace]

L/B

Edges looking strong, want them to add a bit more presence because it’s all there
