Judges stand isn't torn down here in the arena... maybe they want a skate-off?

I would pay good money to see one of them skate to that. Gala program please!

 

[just tuned in]

Hate the way Gabi is dressed. Did she just roll out of bed?

 

[Rukia]

yay Vincent Zhou

 

[Karen-W]

And Torgy's on the team!

 

[OrioleBeagle]

Are they dragging out the announcement in piecemeal for two hours?

 

[beckab81]

Love this program from Torgy, opulent be mad if he went back to it for the Olympics.

 

[Karen-W]

Are they dragging out the announcement for two hours?

Yup - they announce one and then we get an exhibition, rinse & repeat.

 

[just tuned in]

Torgy's exhibition program is fantastic!

 

[beckab81]

Are they dragging out the announcement for two hours?

Yep

 

[OrioleBeagle]

Yep

I don't have the patience for that!

 

[PRlady]

I’m not staying up forever here. I just want the men and pairs messes to be sorted.

 

[Badams]

This is stupid. Just announce the team already.

 

[Wyliefan]

Trying to watch this and CanNats simultaneously.

 

[MacMadame]

I just got home. What did I miss??

 

[Karen-W]

Awww! Having his mom give him his official Team USA jacket is pretty sweet.

 

[Rukia]

ok having him mom give him the jacket was very sweet

 

[smurfy]

Aww. His mom giving him Oky gear!!

This is a good way to do it for TV and drama, let’s be real. It’s just annoying.

 

[Jammers]

Well i was going to record this but my DVD player either has crapped out on me or my discs that say they are CD-RW aren't rewriting anything.

 

[slicekw]

Ugh we are getting the damned commercial feed and they are going to drag it out while doing a commercial-timed gala at a glacial pace.

 

[skateycat]

Are they dragging out the announcement in piecemeal for two hours?

Sure looks like it! So we can see all the ads eleventy billion more times.

 

[Aceon6]

Is there NO one spying on the backstage area? @tony? @thvu?

 

[Karen-W]

This is a good way to do it for TV and drama, let’s be real. It’s just annoying.

LOL! The thing is, I'd still watch even if they'd issued the press release earlier. I watched the gala in 2022 and I normally don't watch the gala.

 

[Capt. DeSoto]

So, announcement, skate, commercial, announcement, skate, commercial...

They're really milking this. So, are they announcing Ilia next so they can really stretch that taffy for the big question of the third men's assignment?

 

[MacMadame]

So... I haven't missed anything then...

(Saw part of Torgy's program.)

 

[peibeck]

Torgy get his team jacket and talking about his family supporting him was a really beautiful moment; he was very verklempt in thanking them.

I hope Ilia doesn't show off during his exhibition. I have memories of Nathan Chen getting injured during his exhibition and if Ilia's ankle is already bothering him....

 

[Wyliefan]

Such a cute baby!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

lol they’re intentionally doing anything controversial last.
