2023 NHK Trophy Free Dance - Hello Rocky

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I feel like Lorraine‘s outfit is sponsored by Lululemon

We need a lip reader.

Romain was telling them that they will be 3rd at Nationals and Tim giggled it off and say oh stawhhpp

This is about as passionate as Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher at a Sunday school picnic.

Actually it's from the Sondheim musical "Passion."

Team Koko does not give me much hope for staying awake tonight… at least I know the French are coming up with a fun program.

I didn’t know booty shorts were now approved costumes or did Lorraine lose her skirt

 

[Karen-W]

So, no one else feels like they see the writing on the wall and know that as soon as Kishimoto/Tamura move up to seniors, they're toast? This felt almost like a goodbye/final season FD.

lol see my comment above

 

[Rukia]

1. was his shirt always sleeveless?
2. did they do this in an effort to give us something to say about this program?

I know it is. That's why I couldn't help noticing the non-passion.

It’s the same shit she had last free dance in a different color. It’s the only thing she knows besides the o-face I think.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK now this is transferring into Lucrezia and Matteo music

 

[Colonel Green]

Zzz....

This is her trademark lewk, she wore it burgundy last year too.

I'd take Ghostbusters over this too. At least the sloppy transitions in Ghostbusters were kinda voidy.

The one foot turns tried to be big, but they just could not control it. Sigh, and in general, these two struggle so much once they get into hold. They're generating speed with desperate crossovers in simple or no hold, and then everything slows down again once they have to be in hold.

They got too far apart during the choreo steps. They're risking a !. Just again, sloppy when it comes to spacing.

 

[Rukia]

their tech ended up lower than koko last i saw think about that for a second

 

[tony]

I kinda feel bad for always ripping this team apart but just what is the concept? What is the point? They desperately needed an identity 2 seasons ago and they get the most vanilla stuff.

 

[Colonel Green]

I wonder if Marjorie Lajoie ever watches this team and reflects on what a good decision she made in summer 2015.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

That last choreo lift looked super awkward, but I didn't hate it.

I don't mind Lorraine's shorts. It's a simple look and works with the program.

 

[genevieve]

Ok the booty shorts made for an acceptable costume for this modern dance music, but the top riding up and showing bra from below AND the straps is just messy as hell. And did not match the program.

 

[peibeck]

This was a lot more clean than their first GP, but the judges nor I are feeling it. No build or progression of story.

I don't mind these two, but they are going to get buried at Nationals, I'm guessing.

 

[Rukia]

oof

 

[thvu]

Only 0.23 ahead of KoKo overall.

 

[Aceon6]

I quite like McSpir’s concept and packaging for the free. If anything, it could use more body tension, especially from Lorraine. Maybe they should look closely at at GreenP’s and HawBak’s work to see how tension and fluidity work in a modern piece.

 

[tony]

Lorraine is just so over it. I have to feel bad for that, but they should know they needed to move training bases if they didn’t want to finish 10th at Nationals behind all the youngsters.

 

[Colonel Green]

D'oh!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh my gosh, she went down on that and took a second to get up

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh crap!

 

[genevieve]

What fall? Give them all the points. It was in character

 

[Rukia]

oh dear

I love the choreo step though

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I think Romain should be in PSOTY
