2024 GPdF Pairs FS PBP - Je Suis Angers

[Theatregirl1122]

We had this discussion yesterday in one of the early disciplines and @MacMadame already deemed the sheer overlay in matching chiffon to NOT be cutouts.

Okay, I also disagree with her. We've all called outfits just like these outfits with cutouts for years.

 

[Rukia]

And you blame them?

i didn't say they were wrong for that

 

[Sylvia]

Hase/Volodin get to skate the FS they could not do at the CS in Nice 2 weeks ago.

 

[Citlali]

Well, at least we got back to back clean(ish) programs

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, I also disagree with her. We've all called outfits just like these outfits with cutouts for years.

Just accept the fact that none of us won - either bingo or in even watching today's pairs FS today, lol.

 

[beckab81]

I really hope Minerva watches the playback and then burns this costume.

 

[Sally1214]

Minerva and Nikita! I'm just going to go ahead and call that "clean." I'm aware that his hand touched the ice at one point but I'm just going to completely ignore that. I love this pair.

 

[peibeck]

Hase/Volodin: Their sbs are sooooo far apart. They have all the tech, but for me, I don't get anything emotional from their skating. They win the pretty prize, but not my heart.

What does that have to do with anything? I wouldn't win if this were cutouts. That doesn't change the fact that it is.

I don't need to "accept" anything. Words have meanings.

 

[skatfan]

Just love this program hope they can keep this up for the end of the season

 

[Colonel Green]

These two are my bet for the World gold this year.

Beatdown at the bingo hall incoming

[skatfan]

And you blame them?

Exactly. He’s everything Howe thinks he is.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Exactly. He’s everything Howe thinks he is.

Howe shouldn't have cut off the hair. It's like Sampson.

 

[tony]

This interviewer is so sassy.

Nikita has good English, maybe he deserves a DM or two. I swear it's the sleep deprivation and the terrible skating today making me turn into ANL.

[Sally1214]

These two are my bet for the World gold this year.

I'd be on board with that. Should I feel guilty for saying that because I'm Canadian?? Well, I'm a realist too; and, frankly, I wasn't all that impressed with Deanna and Maxime at SC last week. But .... good luck to them all. I just hope that, by the time we get to Worlds, we witness more than 1 or 2 "clean-ish" programs.

eta: Oops, I forgot about Riku and Ryuichi. I'd be okay with them winning again too. Either couple .... I'm good.

look at @tony - planning hookups for Boston...

Well at least you haven't claimed 75% of the male skaters and coaches are in your harem, so you haven't quite fallen into full ANL delirium.

 

[Sally1214]

Well .... for there being only 8 pairs .... this pairs free skating event felt like a MARATHON.

 

[Sylvia]

Nikita wasn’t singing

 

[Sally1214]

Well, that's it for me this week. As always, it's been fun (if a weeee bit frustrating at times). Not frustrating with you guys .... it was the skaters I'm referrng to. YOU guys always ROCK! Bye for now.

 

[Spikefan]

we are never gonna beat the "old lady website" allegations like this, guys

The replay is not up yet so just reading pbp. Sunday morning is bingo at one of our breweries and it’s always packed with the majority being in their twenties-thirties. I think it’s making a comeback.

Edit: Glad I read this prior to the replay, going to ff to the final two and call it good.

Honestly, the one time I went to actual bingo, I was in my twenties (it was an off-beat friend's hen night activity). True, the rest of the crowd were old ladies, but my god, they were cut-throat and lightning fast. We couldn't keep up, it was a bloodbath.

 

[cholla]

This interviewer is so sassy.

Fernand Fédronic He is a former competitive skater (he was skating pro in the 90s and won a silver medal at pro Worlds IIRC), now a choreographer and also an opera singer. He is almost 60 and looks 10 years younger. And he is the kindest and coolest man on earth

Wow, they've really glammed up Nikita. Looks great.

 

[fan]

It looks like Nikita and Niccolo have matching shirts

 

[znhurston]

Minerva and Nikita! I'm just going to go ahead and call that "clean." I'm aware that his hand touched the ice at one point but I'm just going to completely ignore that. I love this pair.

I do, too! But I thought the dress and music at Nebelhorn were more effective.
