Did Chock & Bates win MEEPOTS last year, and that's why they aren't included? Even though it wasn't as fresh as last year, I loved Maddie the Snake
I have to agree. I'm fairly new to the TTW thread but watching the long-list video compilation, it struck me that the singles skaters are way more limited in their MEEPOTS options than the pairs and dance teams.Could we split MEEPOTS into two? Two people have way more options than the singles for epicness.

FAQ:
If I post in this thread, does that mean I'm on #TTW?
No, the skaters are the ones on the Team, not us. But you may aspire to joining the Fans' Auxiliary.
Who decides whether a skater's membership should be cancelled on grounds other than medalling or retirement?
Normally, the bossman, possibly with the advice of vice. But there's always a first time for everything.
Why are Alena Leonova, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, and Han Yan on the List?
The bossman has his delusions, and we humor him.
Do you have to be voidy to be on the Team?
No, but it helps. You do, however, have to be heartbreaking.
Is there an anti-American bias here?
Not at all. Several Americans are or have been on the team, e.g., Amber Glenn, Camden Pulkinen, and Gracie Gold.
Isn't this "Team" just a haven for the bossman's favorites?
No. If it were, Alexander Samarin would have been on it years ago.
What is the Black Mark of #TTW?
It's our own special curse, bestowed when the bossman allows a skater to the Team based on a certain number of votes rather than his own judgment or a consensus, as required by Rule #3. The curse has been known to end skaters' careers or send their lives into a tailspin.
Sally Skater and Peter Partner tripped each other after doubling their salchows at last weekend's competition. Surely that makes them worthy of the Team.
In and of itself, falling once or even several times in one program does not warrant membership. Please reread the Criteria.
Why aren't skaters allowed on the Team before they skate Seniors at the international level?
We want to give them time to mature without putting too much pressure on them.
Do Junior World medals disqualify a skater from consideration?
No. If anything, they add to the luster of a #TTW candidacy.
Why is this thread in The Trash Can, whereas From Russia with Love is in Great Skate Debate?
We care about the company we keep.
Is there a King and Queen, or is everybody equal?
No, but we do have the bossman and vice.
Can someone explain what this thread is about/for?
No.
Can I ask to be reminded what MIMOS is without being banned from the thread?
Ruptured Achilles tendon.I’ve been gone for a while ....so what was her diagnosis? What did she break or sprain?
She got the kibosh.When, why and how was Gracie gold removed? She is still competing.
Farewell Gracie Gold!

The skating. The name. The glamour. The star-potential was real right from the start. In best #teamtrainwreck manner you finished with pewter at all major events from 2014 to 2016. The 'highlight' here of course was dropping from 1st to 4th at home soil worlds 2016 in Boston and handing the bronze medal to the -patron-saint! What happened afterwards included some #ttw moments at their best, but we all know how the story turned out. Thus we won't focus on those dark times but look into the future. It took and still takes a lot of courage going out there fighting! Even though this train ride ends for you now, we will support you all the way and hope you can smile with your head up in all days to come!
You softened bossman's heart. 'No Gold in here' was the slogan for so many years, but you managed to sneak in. With such determination and the power of the egg all is possible Gracie!
We are standing by you and can't wait for the moment when your very personal FS will bring down the arena at nationals!
Goodbye!
As far as I can see, it's down to her U.S. Nationals FS KnC and Kagiyama's at Worlds.Amber Glenn for Tursy- inclusion please!!!
B/K at Worlds? Or are we trying to stay uplifting?
Was that one of the times when he puked in the Kiss and Cry?Tuk‘s Tursy-POTS is everything for me!
A worthy successor of Aliev!
If she’s the Empress, I suppose she must treat him as her former Peter III.Skaters were asked to fill out the Questionary before WTT.

I admit it is hard to keep track with my Top100Oh no, I was sure it was Nikita for you
Well, your top 10 are pretty easy: Tall, Gingers, (so much I could say about their skating...there is a pattern you know)I admit it is hard to keep track with my Top100
I just sit back and wait for ANL complain about awards results and being all because...
a) No Scimeca-Knierim made the nominations list
b) no Tennell made the nominations list
c) no one informed him about date of polls and thus he missed
Patience grasshopper. Comes after the WTT during the boring off season. After we've shed our copious tears post kibosh.Well you do know me quite well.
And by the way where are the polls or the threads that mention the awards?
And yet, Vladimir Morozov isn't one of them.Well, your top 10 are pretty easy: Tall, Gingers, (so much I could say about their skating...there is a pattern you know)
A puzzle for sure. Except he's pretty consistent so that could be the negative aspect.And yet, Vladimir Morozov isn't one of them.
