Skate America Free Dance -Chock and Awful

[tony]

TES ended about .40 behind the Browns

Browns were 100% better in this competition.

 

[Vagabond]

How does one end up skating to "The Curse of the Sad Mummy by League of Legends"?

If that's the curse that's been placed on you, you must skate to it.

 

[Hanna]

Wheeee the ending such a DelSchoes 2006 tribute!

ART..........is worth the PAIN.

I'm dying. I love them.

 

[beckab81]

Great tech score for Locia & Theo, pre-review!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

My mom is very concerned about the death rate at this event. Some people have even died twice!

She suspects Litvintsev is the culprit.

 

[Rob]

Did Carriera US get citizenship?

 

[Marta24]

Loicia & Theo

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Awesome French voidness from Dem/Mer

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like this program would be better without the cheesy voice overs.

Rettstatt has shocked me with the very consistent conservative RD calls and once again getting Chock and Bates for an issue I’ve complained since the beginning of time.

Lauzon has always known to stay in his technical lane. I wish Rettstatt would learn that lesson.

 

[peibeck]

Love Loicia and Theo but this dance doesn't do anything for me. Even if I was into this video game it's based on, I'm not sure I'd understand it.

I dunno, Kevin’s arms and hands were rather red….

 

[beckab81]

Now I’m sad again b/c France only has 2 spots for the olympics

 

[~tapdancer~]

Why can't C/P break through? Are they really that crap/ IDK

I don't think so. I haven't figured out why they can't break through either. But as much as I love them, they aren't going to get by Z/K, I'm thinking. Z/K will be USA's next big champions (I hope).

Demougeot & Le Mercier, so much better than at Cup of China. The elements were really strong. I would keep them ahead of CarPom.

 

[skatingguy]

Loicia Demougeot/Theo le Mercier
Rank after RD: 4
Coach: K. Arribert, M. Chantelauze, T. Zahorski
Music: The Curse of the Sad Mummy, Enemy

Stationary Lift 4 + Rotational Lift 4
Circular Step Sequence W:2 M:2
One Foot Turns W:2 M:2
Dance Spin 4
Curve Lift 4
Choreo Assisted Jump/Lifting Movement
Synchronized Twizzles W:4 M:4 (W:2 M:2 after review)
Choreo Character Step Sequence
Choreo Dance Lift

Can't say that I really understand this program. I enjoy the quality of their skating, but their were a few dicey moments today in the twizzles, and a couple of the lift exits.

113.22 = 1st Place
186.69 = 1st Place

 

[Spikefan]

This program has really grown on me, they hit the highlights great.

 

[Karen-W]

It seems like finally the panels are scoring how they should’ve been and following rules for elements that have time and time again been called generously. Rettstatt has shocked me with the very consistent conservative RD calls and once again getting Chock and Bates for an issue I’ve complained since the beginning of time.

It feels like this is a "reset" that should have started with the new Olympic cycle next season rather than during the Olympic season when teams have developed an understanding of how the scoring will usually go.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I feel like this program would be better without the cheesy voice overs.

Mais non! They're French - the voiceovers stay

 

[genevieve]

the beading on that deep V makes it look like Loicia had some sort of bedazzled untied tie thing going on.

 

[thvu]

I'm still not over the overt NBC propaganda about Chock & Bates being slow is them "taking their time" and how it's a good thing.

 

[Colonel Green]

Nice job by D/LM. They're now one gaffe away from a surprise podium appearance.

 

[slicekw]

That gusset on her catsuit is doing a lot of work, as is her pelvic basket. I’m impressed at them both.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

TES 3 points lower than the Browns

if they finish behind Oona and Gage it's over for Christina and Anthony I fear

That seems a little dramatic for November.

 

[canbelto]

That dress is so much like Elsa from Frozen.

 

[skatingcheckers]

Yeah if we can ever get Chock and Bates to retire....

It can't come soon enough.

 

[slicekw]

Bjork’s voice is uniquely suitable for ice dance. Especially by a very French team

 

[NinjaTurtles]

I'm still over the overt NBC propaganda about Chock & Bates being slow is them "taking their time" and how it's a good thing.

At first I was thinking they were going to compare the amount of multi-directional skating and the relative amount of steps and rink coverage in the pattern, but then it was slow = shows more !

 

[canbelto]

I love this program.
