2025 Cup of China Rhythm Dance PBP - Rhythm is a Danger

[Karen-W]

A few wobbles here and there. They looked very nervous. If the TES stays, the judges need to do some major work on those PCS to give them the lead.

And Chris is saying the TES is falling - and her stumble/slip in the pattern step has been called as a fall by the panel. There's no way they're going to have a lead, even with the most super-generous PCS, I don't think.

Smart/Dieck - What heinous version of Freedom is this? We want proper George Michael! At least it was mercifully brief.

Yeah, whoever it was who said it was hard to find a decent second track to go with Let Me Entertain You was right. The Freedom section is very meh, even abstracting from technical issues.

67.37 Major dumpage OMG

The podium is gone

 

[Jay42]

That's lower than I thought it would be honestly but it's not wrong.

 

[tony]

Why does she always look like she's from the 60s? This is another Nancy Sinatra kinda thing.

 

[Karen-W]

Holy crap! Michael just fell in their twizzles!

Well, there goes their podium hopes!

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Cursed event

 

[tony]

Gonna get 0.87 total for those twizzles

I hadn't thought about it until I read your post but she really does look like she should be skating to These Boots are Made For Walking.

 

[Braulio]

I am in shock with Olivia and Tim score, despite the fall and level 1 for that element but it was very low

and now Michael with fall in the twizzles, wtf

 

[Karen-W]

It's her hair style that screams '60s. The dress itself is a '90s color palette and doesn't feel inauthentic to the era.

The whole Groove is in the Heart video schtick is a '60s disco, so it's not wrong, but I agree it overlaps a lot with last year's RD

She skated to it last year!

Green/Parsons - Love Caroline's dress!

Cool opening move.

Oh No! Twizzle disaster - hard fall for him. They were doing so well!

Apart from the fall that was really good. Fun and enjoyable.

Falls in the twizzles that completely wipe the element have become rare compared to years ago.

-1.00 = Falls
65.83 = 4th Place

That dress has screamed 60s since I first saw it.

 

[thvu]

I keep thinking to myself, "I woke up at 3am for THIS?"

Green & Parsons have the 2nd worst RD this season behind Guignard & Fabbri. The vibes are totally off and not 90s at all.

 

[Jay42]

She skated to it last year!

I had definitely forgotten that so thank you for the reminder. Unfortunately Green and Parsons aren't a team that really stick in my head very well.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Slo-mo shows him wobbling all over the place on the twizzles and then....Toe Pick!

 

[tony]

Charlie White has ONE reaction regardless of how the skate goes.

 

[Bunny Hop]

True. Not 90s. But I did like it.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Z/K Costumes need more effort

 

[Karen-W]

Mitch-ee-gan - well, that's a new way of pronouncing Michigan that I've never heard before. Thanks, Chris for venturing out in your butchering of proper names.

 

[tony]

If I wanted to see lame rendition after rendition of music I thought I liked before this season of rhythm dances, I'd suffer through reruns of Glee all day. And I despise Glee. This all is so lame.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Zingas/Kolesnik - Also slow, but at least the music is as well.

I KNOWWWWWW

Craptastic selections everywhere

 

[Jay42]

Zingas/Kolesnik skated well and I do like them, but the music was terrible. Were they all covers?

This looks like it could be a big statement event for this team. Some really innovative transitional content in the program, and a quality performance.

80.43 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that was fine, but I'm just meh about most of these '90s RDs.

 

[Karen-W]

Zingas/Kolesnik - Also slow, but at least the music is as well.

Thank you. I thought they were slow too and it was noticeable when they picked up speed for the lift entrance.
