Let's play BINGO! Add your suggestions

We have Chris this weekend and it looks like he's abandoned a lot of his catchphrases in the BINGO game. I'm thinking about dropping off anything in the Hasn’t said recently section unless people remember him saying these phrases this season. Let me know what you think.


Hasn’t said recently

back on track
digging deep
dropped like a stone
mustard metaphor
never better
overcooked
packing it in
something about hats
thrown down the gauntlet
ticking all the boxes
what the doctor ordered

I'd replace some of them with some of the fun stuff from last week's BINGO when Chris wasn't here.

Some late breaking ideas ...

Things Chris has been saying more this season:

Mighty fine
Master class

But I guess it's moot now if he's not to be commentating any more.


For pairs:

Hideous death spiral position

Out-of-synch spins

For any discipline, though especially dance comes to mind:

Egregious music edit

Music cuts with no apparent relation to one another

We've got another day of him!

We have jarring music cuts on the non-Chris list. I didn't move it over last night but I can for today's game.
 
I'm looking at my list and I think I'll make the Free square be any of the phrases I am taking off because he hasn't used them this season. :lol:
 
Why did we at some point believe that Chris wouldn't be commentating for the rest of the season, and how can I make it be false for more events now that it already turned out false at NHK?

There was only some confusion about which GPs he would be commentating. Nothing had been indicated for the 2nd half of the season and the ISU Championships. Presumably, we'll have Chris for Euros and 4CCs since Mark will be buried in DOI work at that time.
 
Does that mean I'll be "graced" by Mark again for CoC? I might skip it for the first time ever, then.
 
@MacMadame - are we thinking we want to play bingo this week for the Canadian senior events since we have Ted providing lead commentary?

Ha! I just saw this. I didn't watch Canadians. 🤷‍♀️

So, for Euros, we combined Chris-isms with our most popular regular stuff. However, the Chris-isms list keeps growing and now the full list is 72 long and there are only 75 slots. So I'm going to post it here and people can give input into what we can add on and what we can take off. The goal is to have the most popular stuff there so people can WIN!! :lol:

Let me repeat: the goal is not to come up with even more items for BINGO. The goal is to make a list of 75 (or less) most common items.

here is the current list of 73 phrases:
