Nice to hear Tanith. I think she does a good job as announcer as well as being the expert commentator.

Tanith is the adult in the room.

I'm eating an apple. How many apples can I eat if I take one bite per fall?

 

[Sylvia]

Ladies FS shown (8): Tennell, Nagasu, Higuchi; final group: Osmond [Sotskova chacked] Daleman, Miyahara, Zagitova, Kostner.

ETA: It was great see see Savchenko/Massot's FS again.

 

[Debbie S]

I know it's a pipe dream, but I wish they'd show the final group of dance instead of the final group of men. We don't need to see more than Nathan and Vincent (well, we prob don't need to see Vincent, either....show Max instead).

ETA: Oooh, it looks like we are going to get the full final dance group. Yay!

Thanks, Tanith!

 

[Max Enchilada]

I am very excited that NBC showed Max! He probably should have finished in the top 10 after the "splatfest" from the final group.

 

[Sylvia]

Men shown (7 free skates), top 5 overall: Aaron, Kazuki Tomono (3rd in FS), Bychenko (7th in FS), Uno [Boyang Jin chacked] Kolyada, Zhou, Chen.

That was a totally pathetic "broadcast" of the pairs. S/M FS without even the score, and nothing else. At the bare minimum they should have at least showed James/Cipres and Tarasova/Morozov so people could see all the medalists.

This is a recap show so it is just a summary right?

I seem to remember them showing the free skates once already, or at least in one of the cabel channels

But they did show the score, didn't they? In the kiss and cry moment - it was all about Bruno.

It was probably kind that they didn't show Boyang Jin.

Oh, I missed that, they did. As product placement for Puffs tissues. I stand by the rest of my complaints, though.

Yes, he deserved the mercy chacking if anyone ever did.

I was pleasantly surprised by NBC's recap -- although I would have liked to see a couple more of the pairs -- and been able to turn off most of JW's commentary.
