2026 Olys Free Dance PBP - Whale, Are We Ready For Some Bull Sheet Scores?

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Oh, look, a French team i actively dislike.

 

[Sally1214]

"immaculate twizzles," says Carol Lane.

 

[Allen]

Does Christina's dress have tuberculosis?

I almost fell out in the floor laughing at this...

 

[andrea_vienna]

Second Perfume costume of the event. I know nothing of the movie but I'm guessing it has something to do with roses based on the costumes.

"The Perfume" is a 1985 novel by Patrick Süskind, which tells the story of the brilliant, but odourless Jean-Baptiste Grenouille in 18th-year-old France. Century, who is obsessed with creating the perfect perfume by his outstanding sense of smell, for which he murders young women to extract their fragrance…so not so nice story

 

[floridaice]

I thought they were setting up for a 3twist there and was super confused

And I bet they could do one too.

 

[Jay42]

Marie-Jade's dress could take a prize for the most literal dress if there was a prize for that.

 

[MsZem]

Between L/L and Cynthia Phaneuf I'm left with some questions about the status of Egyptology as a field within Canada.

Turning to France, Fabian Bourzat wore a skirt and Pechalat was wrapped up in toilet paper when they did their Egyptian program. I don't know if that's more authentic.

 

[overedge]

I love me a snake costume, but this snake really is distracting.

Oh, I remember that story. I didn't connect it to these programs.

 

[slicekw]

I see something sewn onto a costume like this snake and all I hear in my head is, “Oh no. It looks like he got caught in her lederhosen!” “We are IN.”

 

[Allen]

Marie-Jade's dress could take a prize for the most literal dress if there was a prize for that.

I'm just surprised that she's not wearing a Slutskaya unitard like so many times in the past.

 

[tangerine dream]

Marie-Jade's dress could take a prize for the most literal dress if there was a prize for that.

I think I'd give it to every Matrix costume ever.

 

[peibeck]

Romain's strength in the SL lift is beyond insane.

Sadly this is their least interesting FD this whole O cycle.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Never fear, guess who’s here?

[MacMadame]

I like the back of his costume. Not so sure about hers. That is one FAT snake.

 

[Wyliefan]

"It's overrrr!" Aw.

 

[Karen-W]

So, NBC joined about 3 minutes into les Gacs program and as soon as they were done promptly went back to a commercial break. GAH.

 

[tangerine dream]

Turning to France, Fabian Bourzat wore a skirt and Pechalat was wrapped up in toilet paper when they did their Egyptian program. I don't know if that's more authentic.

That program was a masterpiece!

 

[Allen]

That snake made me wonder if they were attempting a murder in plain sight like on Traitors.

 

[Colonel Green]

Nice job. Some really cool lifts in that program.

 

[Kateri]

Somewhere in all the discussion about Gummenik not being able to use it someone said that CarPom were asked about it and they had everything sorted out a while ago for the rights apparently. So Gummenik must have missed something when he chose the music.

It was posted that the composer specifically retracted the permission for Gummenik because he didn't want Russians using it.

 

[text_skate]

Romeo and Juliet 2

can't wait for 3
Still catching up

 

[overedge]

That program was a masterpiece!

Indeed it was, even in its outrageousness.

I switched over to peacock. I didn't realize NBC weren't actually showing everyone live.

 

[Sally1214]

YAY, Marie-Jade and Romain.

On another note, I remember when I used to wear almost that much blue eyeshadow (back in my late teens/early 20s) thinking it was SO glamorous; when, in reality, with red hair and green eyes, it looked god-awful. Oh, the choices of youth ....

 

[slicekw]

How many people could wrap their arms around a man’s neck and do a plank while he’s moving? How many men could hold that and move?

I’m amazed at that kind of athleticism and at the imagination to make it happen.

 

[Desperado]

L / LG added some interesting moves to their FD program, including a "chin lift" and a slide with her hand on the ice - loved it.

I'd go Tukt's Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra >>>> F/B tp mummies with the nose badage >>> Ando then the Canadians in terms of authenticity but hey Im only one glass of wine into this flight.
