2024 Grand Prix Final - Rhythm Dance: “Crying At The Disco Tech”

[Karen-W]

Mark saying that FearGib are the most improved when their RD scores are staying almost static from last season to this season is kind of mind-boggling, lol.

 

[tony]

Good to learn L/L have the worst skating skills of the lot..

Literal stupidity.

 

[MacMadame]

I agree with tony that Lewis is fantastic. But he's not skating alone. However if that pattern step of c/b really got a 4 i'll accept whatever level from these 2 lol

ChoBat getting L4 confirms my opinion that the rest of these teams have no excuse for these low levels. OTOH, if it doesn't make much difference in the score, I guess maybe they prefer to concentrate on other aspects of their RD.

 

[Rukia]

the real lesson here is to bring back more of the pattern dances

 

[once_upon]

The French were the best imo. Obviously I'm not a judge

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

To the absolute surprise of no body, I hated all the dances and generally think this idea of decades is one of the dumbest yet.

As usual, I'd have G/F first but Chockingly I'd have C/B second. They have an atrocious program but at least that was moving. Then LaLas, the Brits, Lopareva/Brissaud, and I have no idea what Gilles/Poirer were thinking to themselves.

I think the French had the worst program, but it was a tough competition.

 

[Marta24]

Meh. I enjoyed Junior Ice Dance more.

 

[Habs]

Good to learn L/L have the worst skating skills of the lot..

Just insane. Are the judges even paying attention to L/L?!

 

[peibeck]

Evan is much better than he gets credit for generally

I'm so old I remember everyone saying she needed to ditch Zuerlin because she was so much better than him, and then when it happened and she got a better partner, no one was happy with that either.

i mean the real lesson is that c/b shouldn't be getting a lvl 4

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

There’s no denying the finnish team would’ve been second here

 

[MacMadame]

By the way, I hope all the "haters" got their hate out here...

There are so many and for different teams, costumes, and RDs; I think you are going to have to be more specific.

They're waiting until 2027.

 

[Coco]

Lewis is a star. Lilah is ... also there.

She kinda sorta resembles Cheryl Tweedy Cole Fernandez-Versini, so I just pretend it's her and it makes it more entertaining. What would Simon say?

They got level 3, so there goes that.

 

[marbri]

Just seems like they predetermined L/L and L/B were filler..

 

[Spikefan]

Is there still time to change next year’s RD? This theme idea clearly isn’t working.

 

[Aceon6]

Ok, this wasn’t what I wanted nor expected. But biffing at GPF is better than biffing at Worlds.

 

[Karen-W]

Second to CarPon.

Judging just right today, at least from a relative standpoint. My only complaint is that Lajoie and Lagha were hard done, probably from skating first.

I don’t like this theme. It’s like everyone is skating segments of programs rather than a program. Chock and Bates, despite the million music cuts, and Lajoie and Lagha were the only ones who skated real programs to me.

Gilles and Poirier looked awful. I don’t mean to kick then when they’re down, but Tali and Lafornara in juniors honestly looked better than G&P.

 

[Frau Muller]

I guess we’re going to have to accept the Italians refuse to change these costumes.

Caron sold them out for a Gil/Poi win?

Is that slide move new???

 

[Rukia]

They got level 3, so there goes that.

still generous

From your lips to the Skates Gods ears.

 

[PRlady]

LaLa well undermarked and Brits overmarked. Chock and Bates performed the hell out of that mess and deserve first. If G/F would just change their costumes I could get behind that RD.

 

[Karen-W]

Also, arm (hair) ography

Edited to include it.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I don’t understand everybody up in arms over Lala, I think they’re right where they should be

The true travesty, as you all know, is the Finnish

 

[dupa]

Good to learn L/L have the worst skating skills of the lot..

No Shite!!!

I said "all" and I meant it.
