Let's watch skating together! Thursday, March 19th

My god that felt 10 minutes long

 

[meggonzo]

I don't know if I can make it through a whole flight of trainwrecks.

 

[alchemy void]

Agree with the Aussie judge.

Was this competition a splatfest? I only remember ladies.

 

[Aerobicidal]

As someone who is about 0.5 % Irish, I am wildly offended by the culture appropriation going on here.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

But he's wearing a blue shirt......

Elvis ends up 2nd, so that should tell you how the rest of the competition goes.

 

[alchemy void]

IJS definitely has it flaws, but I'm finding these mens LPs borderline unwatchable

WHERES THE SPOILER TAG!?!

omfg ABC "Abt is a father, too! We have another straight one"

 

[meggonzo]

omfg ABC "Abt is a father, too! We have another straight"

Costume says otherwise

 

[meggonzo]

Two-footed and underrotated!

 

[alchemy void]

The judges had instant replay for the SP but not for the LP?

Never change, ISU.

 

[meggonzo]

Young Raf!

 

[alchemy void]

that AUS judge is spicy

 

[meggonzo]

Who is the Australian judge?

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Another straight Mikey Weiss. He likes a real man's sport. Redskins fan.

And more straight man fluff.

 

[meggonzo]

Oh MESS in the fluff

 

[alchemy void]

Mikey revving up his big boat

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I knew they pushed the straight man narrative a lot but I forgot just how much in every competition.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Whoever made that Weiss fluff has no sense of narrative cohesion! First, here's Mikes baby. Second, Mike's bad ankle. Third, Mike's fancy boat. Can we please at least connect everything to his straight father family something? Hummer?

 

[Aerobicidal]

What is it with straight American male skaters with first names starting with M doing ballet programs when they are less balletic than Nina Mozer?!?!

I enjoyed the way he called his ankle injury "the best thing that ever happened to me" right after they talked about the birth of his child.

 

[alchemy void]

What the hell is this weird quasi-spiral sequence?

The SP was actually really well-choreographed, but this Carmen is baaaaad. So lame.

 

[meggonzo]

I assume he's skating to this music because he likes it.

 

[Aerobicidal]

I assume he's skating to this music because he likes it.

Or maybe it helps him vent his spleen.

And the first part was set to Waiting for Tonight by JLo.

 

[alchemy void]

Awwwww Lisa's outfit is so reserved here

 

[Aerobicidal]

I love the "helpful" text on the screen: "Going for 3-peat" "Brand new program"

I feel like Johnny and Tara could easily be replaced by stuff like that and long as it written a sufficiently flamboyant font. Maybe fluorescent pink Comic Sans.

 

[meggonzo]

It would have been more fun to snark on the Broken Arrow program
