[skipaway]

OMG, stop it with the judging conspiracies, Johnny.

Conspiracy theories are en vogue...don’t you know.

I think he is a bit handsome

 

[ilovepaydays]

Hmm. I kinda like Hanns/Garbutt!

 

[dinakt]

Hanns/Garbutt. Never heard of them before. The skill level is not the same, of course, and yet I enjoyed it.

 

[rfisher]

Garbutt really disappoints me with this music

You just really like typing Garbutt don't you? I challenge you to find a way to work it into every thread for the entire competition.

 

[just tuned in]

She looked to be having trouble getting into the ice.

 

[Sylvia]

Does anyone have the detailed schedule handy? Do we suffer an ice make after CalJoh?

I haven't found anything posted online but my guess is yes.

I know nothing about this team but that was a really nice throw!

Yes, Hanns/Garbutt were landing the throw 3Lz nicely in practice too.

Be prepared to go WOW at Calalang/Johnson's soaring 3twist -- it's the highest in this event.

 

[alj5]

Hanns & Garbutt - Wow, I really enjoyed that program from them. Sure, there were some issues, but there's something about them that feels relatable. I actually want to watch this program again to see if it holds up for me.

She looks a bit like the female lead from Netflix's Bridgerton.

 

[shan]

Hanns/Garbutt are very pleasant. Love their throw!

 

[JillyBean]

Um, if Jessica and Brian are clean, Ashley and Tim aren’t finishing above 3rd here.

I thought I heard the announcer say “DuPage FSC” for Alexa and “All Year FSC” for Brandon.

My mistake - they did announce the clubs right before the skaters took the ice. It was during the intros at center ice where they didn't do it - and I thought it was missing.

 

[skipaway]

Someone give this girl some pairs girl level bling

She has platinum boot heels!

 

[VGThuy]

I appreciate their non-pageant like costumes or leather pants. There are in-betweens from bling and leather.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Conspiracy theories are en vogue...don’t you know.

Speaking of which, I could really use a program to "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" or "Free Your Mind" right about now.

 

[slicekw]

Evelyn Grace seems a bit juniorish, but they seemed to have potential. I like that they had masks that went with their costumes.

They qualified for the Junior Pairs event at Nationals last year but WD.

Great minds and all... I thought- well we are watching "Spinning Out", real performance. They have a movie quality

 

[Wyliefan]

Aw man.

 

[mjb52]

I love that thing in skating when you immediately recognize music from another program but you have to take thirty seconds to remember which piece it is and who already skated to it.

 

[alchemy void]

(((((prayer circle for Calalang's sbs)))))

 

[Colonel Green]

Calalang and Johnson take over from the Knierims and Denney/Frazier as the team that could contend if they could just land their jumps.

 

[skipaway]

Wow, 3.0 GOE on their throw twist

 

[Rukia]

She hasn't had a lot of luck with that in practice, so I'm not surprised. That twist is stunning though. Good save on the throw too.

 

[beckab81]

She looked nervous taking the ice, not surprised about the fall

 

[tony]

Well a positive is that they got a perfect score on the twist, at least before reviews.

 

[mjb52]

ok it's taking me more than thirty seconds, someone put me out of my misery, I know this music has been skated to a lot and I'm going to feel embarrassed for not recognizing it precisely

oh it's Game of Thrones?

 

[ilovepaydays]

C/J’s SBS spins seemed out of sync - a lot!

 

[flyingsit]

I don’t know how they can skate to music with neither melody nor rhythm.

 

[slicekw]

Calalang/Johnson were off. She seemed half a beat behind and super-cautious. They looked better in practice.
