2025 NHK Trophy Free Dance PBP - Hmmm for the Weekend

[Wyliefan]

For goodness' sake, someone get Natalie Taschlerova a nice costume. There's just no excuse for it.

Joining the majority of the not quite top level dancers at 180. That would be great for a new team, not so much for a comeback when there are 5 teams already scoring 200+ even with mistakes.

Honestly very disappointed Lewis Gibson isn't in a kilt. The plaid is fine but if John Kerr could wear a kilt why couldn't Lewis Gibson?

 

[beckab81]

Better than the RD, but doing the same swizzle sequence that was so recognizable from 2018 but a lot slower was a mistake IMO. The judges remember what it once was and the GOE reflects the lower performance.

Curious to see what they decide to do from here.

 

[Ka3sha]

I have never been a huge fan of theirs, was kinda excited for the comeback before that video (simply because they could shake things up at the top), but this is crazy

They are simply not that bad to get 108 in the FD, when Pirihara gets the same score just based on the choreo elements. No matter how long the gap was, or how old the program is. It's just a travesty...

Mark just said she was involved in the costume design so....

 

[marbri]

at the notion that Fabbri/Ayer were putting people to sleep but the Shibs were lovely and enjoyable..

For goodness' sake, someone get Natalie Taschlerova a nice costume. There's just no excuse for it.

And probably no budget either.

 

[peibeck]

Shibs tied with Fabbri/Ayer in TES.

 

[Karen-W]

I want to know who Natalie's new costume designer is. Mostly because I want to contact her to discuss how she's doing Natalie no favors with these ugly-ass, unflattering costumes this season.

Ice dance in Czechia doesn't have any budget, nor for paying for copyright clearance with the Mrazeks and for costumes with the Taschlerovis

 

[Matryeshka]

I really want to know what Natalie did to her costume designer.

 

[PRlady]

Their faces after the score were resigned. Let’s see how much GrePar can outscore them, since they have the weakest scores of the three contending teams for spots 2 and 3.

The ISU had some dumb social media clip of all other skaters here saying he should be in a kilt. So maybe it'll happen after all.

 

[Aceon6]

Does Babs not have eyes? You don’t put Charlene in something that makes her look taller while cutting Marco in half with a basic shirt and black pants.

 

[Lilia A]

Yup, Mark's feed is definitely delayed.

 

[floridaice]

Why do Taschlerova's costumers hate her so?

For goodness' sake, someone get Natalie Taschlerova a nice costume. There's just no excuse for it.

Mark said Natalie took part in the design of their costumes

 

[skatfan]

If this was the early season everyone would understand, but as a return GP performance, it just wasn’t ready for primetime. That looks between the sibs after they got their scores was fascinating

Let’s just discuss the nitty-gritty here, for Italians, they have never been the best dressed in dance.

I dunno... Lewis seemed the MOST resistant to the suggestion he don a kilt for the FD, even with all the good-natured egging him on from other skaters and the ISU seemingly supporting it.

He'd better give the people what they want.

Honestly saying this makes me feel like I should be on drugs or something because I really don't care for the Germans but I would have had the Shibs below the Germans in the FD.

 

[tony]

I texted Mark again about the delay. He said he got flooded with texts last night over the audio so I'm sure the same tonight and it'll get a quick fix.

 

[Wyliefan]

That's a pity -- but they could do so much more with what they do have. They could literally put her in a plain practice dress and it would look better than this.

On a sidenote, I just texted Frangi

Tee-hee

 

[my little pony]

lol so a program about someone with a crazy ex partner

I wonder if it's too late in the season for him to do that - if it's allowed. I know I move differently in a skirt than in pants -- he'd probably need to do a lot of practice .

What could that possibly be based on?

 

[tony]

lol so a program about someone with a crazy ex partner

But which one? Look at him and his "life choices"

 

[beckab81]

The stationary lift works so well with the music, I’m really liking the programs for W/T this season

 

[Skaterbob]

Well, that was rather enjoyable, but the judges are definitely NOT buying what they're selling. Twizzles weren't nearly as perfectly in synch and matched as they were able to deliver in the past.

Those waves and bows make me think they've already made the decision to end the comeback after this competition.

Nah they are just waving to get a spot in exhibition here.
