Finlandia Trophy 2025 Rhythm Dance "I Really, Really, Really Wanna Zingas"

[MacMadame]

I thought they looked good?

He got off in the second set.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Lithuanians have a better Too Sexy program

 

[tony]

This season gonna be a wild ride. But if Rettstatt isn't in every major comp from now until the Olympics then why will any of this matter?

 

[Allen]

He got off in the second set.

Okay, makes sense, I was more closely watching Emilea

 

[MacMadame]

Yeah, I'm getting Liberace and Jan Crouch from these costumes instead of RuPaul.

I just don't get them. At least her corest thing doesn't have gills and the barretts are on point. But ... they don't scream Ru Paul or catwalk to me.

 

[Karen-W]

Dang. TES is the highest so far (if it holds) even with the twizzle problem for Piper. Guessing they'll wind up in 1st by 3-4 points.

 

[Desperado]

I may hate their costumes but especially compared to everyone else, I love the music of P/P.

Level 1 midline again...

(ETA Mark is saying "base level" now. Wow.)

 

[peibeck]

Oh Paul, this guy-liner is JD Vance bad.

Oof on these twizzles for Piper.

This is very tentative.

Sorry, this dance is a dud. I'd expect it from the fun Finns. Piper and Paul are better than this.

 

[marbri]

Carol looking so happy, just wait dear, just wait

 

[Kaz7714]

I hate "too sexy" and it doesn't fit them at all. The RuPaul is better.
I actually like Paul's corset but sth is just not vibing yet .

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I like RuPaul part but I don't think the I'm Too Sexy section works.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Yes, Piper/husband and Emilia and Vadym have my favorite rhythm dances of this season. Although Piper‘s costume looks more suited for Swan Lake or something.

Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier
Coach: Carol Lane, Juris Razgulajevs, Jon Lane
Music: Supermodel, I’m Too Sexy

Sequential Twizzles W:1 M:3 (W:B M:4 after review) - Piper's 2nd twizzle with several balance checks
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 4

The opening twizzle sequence was rough from both, but particularly Piper. The rest of the performance was better than Skate Canada, but still not sharp, or sassy enough to really make this program shine.

79.56 = 2nd Place

"It's Finland"

incoming

 

[Allen]

This season gonna be a wild ride. But if Rettstatt isn't in every major comp from now until the Olympics then why will any of this matter?

As many times as he's been the tech controller in this year, I would assume he's going to be at the Olympics.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Lucky twizzle call

No, she just got dropped a base level.

 

[thvu]

Alot of iffy moments, but the performance was great. Love the choreo in this program. One of my favorites this season. And love the ponytail-ography during the choreo step and the ending.

Oy, did Mark just say Basic Level Twizzles for Piper?

 

[Citlali]

Well those twizzles were neither sashay or shante

 

[Karen-W]

Mark's telling us Piper's twizzle level dropped from 1 to Base. This is going to be a brutal score.

 

[Braulio]

The TES was the highest thanks to the near 6.00 points based in +GOE for the choreo step sequence that helped the twizzles tiny mistake and some low levels too

 

[tony]

No, she just got dropped a base level.

Wasn't talking about her. Follow the thread

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

They looked like they had two bricks tied to their feet.

And I have no idea what this program is. I don't hate it, but mostly because I don't consider this a RD at all.

[thvu]

That was not the chaos I was expecting.

 

[MacMadame]

Did Mark say Piper's twizzles were downgraded to base? That's garbage.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wasn't talking about her. Follow the thread

Just count your blessings I’m here and present… And lucid.

 

[Braulio]

I understand the twizzles turn to the left, then turn to the right path but they are giving them problems so they need to shante away

 

[Allen]

Well, I guess it's back over to Midwest Sectionals to see if anyone else falls before the program even starts.

 

[skategal]

Great score for Piper and Paul considering the miss on twizzles.

 

[marbri]

Barring disaster I say Z/K will make it to GPF as 6th team so mission accomplished.
