Okay, lots of folks have managed to achieve Bingos thanks to the Pairs FS - we're aiming for Blackout Bingo now since we'll never get a Bingo with just 6 men. For those who are not familiar with Blackout Bingo - it's marking off every box on your card. Good luck! Blackout Bingo winner gets to pick a segment from either the JGPF or GPF to redo/skate over, lol - yesterday's Sr Women's SP, the Sr Pairs FS, the Senior RD, the Jr Women's FS... Your choice!

Got it and edited my post, lol.

@MacMadame - Bingo Referee question - I don't think any of the men have only one sleeve for their costumes today... Are we allowed to count Kevin's sleeveless SP costume toward that instead?

 

[victorskid]

And we are live...

Hey, Peacock subscribers. I went on a Jane Austen kick across TV apps recently and discovered that Peacock has a treasure trove of BBC Austen shows and other costume dramas. Plus they have Escape to the Chateau, which is pretty fun. Something to fill the hours before Nats and then between Nats and Worlds.

I vote yes!

this is important information

Ted tries so inexplicably hard when he says "Malinin"

Sure.

ETA not that this helps me.

Just like I can justify $99 a year for Criterion because they’ve got almost all the Coen Brothers and Hitchcock movies available right now.

I'm just going to say it now, knowing Filip Stiller for nearly 20 years now, I have confidence that he and the rest of the panel here will do the right thing when it comes to jump calling. Grassl attempting a 4Lo in the short program is just such a huge risk. The jump itself seems to lend to a more hooked/underrotated landing-- we see it from him and from Rizzo when he tries it.

If they don't do the right thing, I'll be sure to write a novel and provide slo-mo videos.

GO, KEVIN!!!

 

[Rukia]

ilia literally strutting onto the ice bold strategy

 

[tony]

Shun Sato was like screw this, I'm walking out. Forget running and almost tripping on my face.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Grading geometry quizzes during the warmup. I feel like Tony watching someone skate through the music. I'm all like "yes, kids, give me nothing. "

 

[Sally1214]

"Swagger" is the absolutely correct description for that entrance by Ilia.

 

[Frau Muller]

Another big WINNER today!!! Woo hoo doo!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Shaidorov looks like a survivor of an unfortunate shredder accident.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Ted trying to be like "oh, he took a year off" and Mark is like "time to spill the whole tea"

 

[Spikefan]

How are three missed tests just a mistake?!

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - I rewound the stream to see it (I was updating Golden Spin results) and that was so iconic!

 

[Rukia]

just watching grassl pick in with that big old kick is making me mad

 

[MacMadame]

This audience is wild. I love it.

 

[Sally1214]

Sparkly vest alert. We'll undoubtedly get screen-filling close-ups of that vest when Kevin is attempting to do something important.

 

[Rukia]

How are three missed tests just a mistake?!

he's just a silly little rabbit how can he be held responsible for so missing so many tests uwu

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I'm hoping for maximum chaos in this SP.

 

[tony]

This audience is wild. I love it.

They are wild for Kevin because he literally started skating in this very rink. His sister is an ice patcher this weekend and he has a bunch of friends who have volunteered. I have no doubt a lot of people came just to see him, too.

 

[Rukia]

what is ilia wearing
