I looked and didn't see anyone at the rink with beer :40beers: (as promised :confused:)
Lame excuse my friend!
My avatar leaves not too much space for imagiantion :rofl:

Next time just look for the guy with the highest pitched scream. ;)
Speaking of my great support for Dasa, I still need video proof of the personal smile for me in the FS :drama: It's nowhere. Thanks to god, @Hanna witnessed, otherwise I might have started to fear it was all imagination :D

Folks, find me that video!!!
 
What's in the video? Somehow she is not among my IG. Was I removed? :D
So is there still hope? There was an ISU bio update after all.
I count with Open d'Andorra or NRW Trophy.

Come back! :glamor:

A step sequence to the W.E, soundtrack. That’s her short according to her bio.
 
High quality bisongrass vodka provided by Bossman!:nopryde:
I am already nostalgic of the good times Oberstdorf, will need to schedule a 'business trip' to
Germany, by chance at the end of september for next year...
Or @Jeschke and the other #tt supporters could come to skate canada instead :shuffle: I will not feel comfortable drinking alone.
 
Finally I have caught up with some more of Skate Canada than just ladies, Eurosport showed some FSs yesterday...

Pairs
I agree on Vanessa & Morgan, that song is just dull and does nothing for them. Bleak copy of last year, with bad, bad clothes. And what's with doing the same lift to end every year? It won't have the same impact, but if they're trying to make it their trademark element, the one that everyone is waiting for, like M&Ds ending spin, I can live with it. But Morgan is too dressed. Too dressed, with flaps. Ugg!

Meagan and Eric I was warming up to (I was always warming up to him) but THAT MUSIC :yikes::yikes::yikes:I will never get used to that hideous sauce of different pieces, none making any sense. How can Eric as a musician listen to that every day? Maybe it overloads her chatter? Some wrote in the PBP thread that they must retire before Eric turns all grey, but he looks mighty fine to me grey or not and I can just keep watching him on mute. Can't decide weather Meagan's 90ies American gymnastic 'do is:
A. Lovely retro fresh, back to the Ally Sheedy days
B. Making her look 50?
C. Just Meagan challenging her inner Amanda Borden?

Da Empress and 'Can't pass that language test to save my life-guy' -
Lovely program! Really lovely, my favourite of the season for pairs so far. Aliona looks totally happy all the way through, her hair and dress is killer and Bruno is much improved in every way. BUT it won't do any good if he can't get that piece of paper done! Come on! We cheer you like mad! Durch für gegen ohne um, love! Should he practice jumps or grammar? I have no idea....:judge:
 
Men:

@Jeschke I guess you are right, you must be Samarin's only fan. Sorry;) And who ordered that outfit? It was so bad it was almost good! That buckle! Had to love it! But seriously, who taught him how to move? He went to Camp Kovtun? Everything so random, but he's at least out on the ice doing crossovers, standing on two feet. That's something. That's a start. And at least he's not wearing his PJs! (I'm willing to not write him off yet though....but the difference in attention to detail and stretch when you compare him with other Russian men, juniors or young seniors is glaring. And I'm not saying they should all be ballet dancers, but somewhere Urmanov is crying.)

Jason Brown - I have no words. I know saying anything bad about mum's and everyones fave teddy bear is like swearing in church, but in this very thread I do it anyway. What was he wearing? That hair? His style is not my cup of tea and has never been, but I've been able to appreciate his feel for the music and excellent basics but now I was too distracted by the famous blue velvet (mentioned by everyone by now) and his school teacher 1880-ies hairdo and couldn't focus on the program. Of course, the music was totally zzzzzzzz and that didn't help. I buy his SP, that's so over the top it's fun, though it makes no sense to me and I have no idea about Hamilton.
I wonder why I have no objection to Uno's crush on velvet outfits, and why I love every piece of Adam's choreo when he's flapping wrists but can't stand it for Jason. You give me the answer....


Patrick C. - Zzzzzzzz! I love him. I love his blades. But that was syrup slo-mo and the song was not magic, as I wanted it. At least he's not dressed in granny's curtains anymore. Loved the red on him. And I have faith. Next time! But I guess he's going the D10 route soon enough, and I don't know if there will be enough comfort for me when I have to deal with that for both of them at the same time...:wuzrobbed

Uno - My man! I so wish he didn't re-do Turandot, I'm just so disappointed in that I have no words.... I can't stand Turandot anymore, and I used to love it.... sigh* But he himself seems to enjoy it, happy smile, despite the mistakes, and his SP is :kickass: and he's the sweetest and moves like a dancer and I made some calculation that it's approx 67% chance Japan will win mens OG medal...:lol: (sorry, Javi, but I'm also in it for the upset!)
:lol::lol:
 
Da Empress and 'Can't pass that language test to save my life-guy' -
Question is: Would da empress pass today? :EVILLE:

Durch für gegen ohne um, love!
I fear you woulnd't pass the language test either :D Or what was this cumulation of prepositions about?

Come on! We cheer you like mad! Durch für gegen ohne um, love!
'My love, sweet love...' Oh goodness, Stepanova/Bukin; what have you done to us? :scream:

:lol: Hence my German being basic, I'm glad I'm not the one passing the test! @Jeschke

Do not even remind of Stepanova/Bukin...and all I did was trying to be nice to Bruno...:lol:
 
This was nearly off the first page, so I had to pop out of lurkdom to save it.

What's the TTW thoughts on Lecavelier? I thought her SP at Skate Canada was lovely. There was a skating coach sitting behind me (local coach, not anyone elite) who couldn't stop talking about how surprised she was by her. The FS was ridiculous, but fun.
 
Most of us really like Lacavelier, but liked last year's FS better. I think she's a lovely soft skater. I've got a soft spot for MBM, but she's just not consistent with her jumps. If I were the French Fed, I'd go with Lacavelier for Korea. Sorry, MBM.
