Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir # 47: Come What May...

Rafter said:
It’s politics. Ice dance has always been like this.

Interesting how Sharon Rogers really hammered V&M in the scores. Anyway, the PCS marks should not be anywhere as close as they are between the two teams. Actually, if it were judged fairly, H&D and the Shibs should be ahead of P&C given what went on on the ice.

Hasn't she always done this to them? She and the French judge had V/M second overall, which is shameless but expected from France but just seems like some sort of vendetta from the US.

So terrified that the Canadian judge will have the bad luck of being off the FD panel..

I can see with our luck the Canadian being gone & FRA/RUSS/US still being on the FD panel..if that happens we are totally ****ed..

I think till now considering the fact that 3/4 of the panel was against VM we had pretty good luck :D also they drew last. Hold on, wait to freak out. I don't know why I'm being so positive but that's the fisrt time this season I believe they can do it. Prayer circle for the panel draw

Speak of the devil and his overused angel emoji self will appear. just because you "congratulate" Tessa and Scott doesn't make you any less of an extremely rude and hate-filled mod. Don't come for us when you always come in here with snide remarks about either V/M or their fans. you have the nerve to call us mentally ill when I have seen the most deranged comments from french P/C ubers telling tessa to die and madi fat yet I have seen you yet to condemn them. You are such a class act, aren't you? Mods are not supposed to come into threads and stir up drama, mods are not supposed to be so blatantly biased, mods don't call fans of another team they don't like "mentally ill" Mods aren't supposed to troll. you are literally the opposite of a moderator. Again your just a toned down version of a P/C uber from youtube. How you became a mod is literally beyond me because you act like a sarcastic, rude, snarky, crazy uber. do your job. bye!
 
Not going to derail this thread because of some a-hole. GO V/M! I hope we see them with their glitzy costumes that they wore in the FD in the team event.
 
Guys did somebody watch the comp with ITA ESP? because I avoided it, I'm annoyed by how much they talk, but my friend said they were talking about agreements to get onto the podium somewhere during the last three performances. Did somebody hear that as well?
 
Anyone else notice how the audience reaction was very muted for everyone but V&M..I found it interesting how the audience even seemed to know..is this a comp? Really? lol
 
So..am I the only one who is already incredibly nervous for them? I was them to skate this FD out of the park tonight (because lets face it that's the only thing they can control). But I also feel like if P/C get a WR, it's done for. Ugh...this has shaved years of my life I swear to god. Also, V/M are going on at 11:13 EST...2 mins later than yesterday.

So I am supposed to condemn comments that I haven't seen or made by people that I don't know? :confused:

Actually, this isn't a job. I don't get paid for it. I am a volunteer because SHARPIE is awesome and runs an amazing site. As long as she wants me here, I am here. :saint: :saint: :saint: :saint: :saint:


Sorry for derailing your thread again folks, but if certain posters here are going to continually bring me up then I have a right to defend myself.
 
I just keep telling myself, its just a medal..no one will suffer or die if they don`t win Gold, but I do wish that all the skaters are rewarded appropriately (naïve or hopeful) and that I will be watching tonight and supporting V&M
 
I had expected P/C's score to be in high 70s because they were off on the twizzles and did not seem sharp (this is before I even knew about the outfit problems). But... there you go. Higher score than even V/M in the Team Event.

ShibSibs though? Wow. Shocked they were not placed ahead of H/D.

The obsessive V/M we know well and love (and look at the perfect unison on the twizzles in that first picture!):

https://www.thestar.com/sports/olym...ort-dance-record-at-pyeongchang-olympics.html

Quote from article: "Moir said that after the team event their coaches “tore apart the tape,” to unearth anything that wasn’t top notch.

“We knew right after both of our performances that we could do better,” Moir said. “We were really trying to drive the power and speed more today, we knew we’d need that against the French. We’re in great shape. We feel good. We feel like we have more power in our blade, we have more power in our knee than we’ve ever had and we want to showcase that.” "
 
Guy's I am so stressed! I have this awful feeling we are gonna lose the Canadian judge & the French Russian & States will get to judge the FD...we are in so much trouble if that happens..please god let her stay on the panel at least & have the French or American taken off..:wall:

It's SO nice to have coaches that are so supportive and clearly are doing everything in their power for them this time around. It's a clear 180 from Sochi and it really shows in their skating. I think V/M are a team that excels with a rigid plan..it sounds like it calms them down and they really do approach this with a scientific aspect.
 
Very sorry for Gabby’s wardrobe malfunction I wish people would be more mature about, it’s like they haven’t seen boobs before. With that said last night showed the blatant bias of the judges. Come on how many still had PC in first over VM and overall PCS too (I’m happy about the social media outcry). I just can’t comprehend it because it’s incomprehensible. And when is the ISU going to so something about Sharon Rogers she lost her mind ages ago. She also gave WP a -2 for their twizzles, I can’t with her. I am so glad to be done with this “sport” after tonight.
 
On a different note, there's a celebrity fashion gossipy website I go to called Gofugyourself, and the moderators are in love with V/M. One of them just posted on twitter "I decided they refuse to bang while actively skating bc it might zap the sexual tension, so every routine is their substitute banging." lol

They're also doing skating fashion recaps (they do it every year after US nationals, and after O's and Worlds). So far they've done their recaps for pairs and for men.

All the above posts aside, I'm still trying to figure out how P/C are in second place.

Same here. To me it's amazing that in an Olympic sport cheaters can openly cheat and everyone just has to accept it and even does. I mean I watched the SD on three different channels in my country and the commentators on all three broadcasts talked about the mistakes P/C made, explained them and expected Tessa and Scott to be the clear leaders and then it was just like "Ok, that's their score. It will be close." They said in the end it comes down to which style you prefer. I mean wtf? I thought ice dance is a sport? I'm not watching "Schwanensee" from different ballet companies and decide which one I like better. These skaters have trained for years, it's about a lot of money, future opportunities and reputation. And then we have to accept that it comes down to bribery, arrangements between federations and even revenge. Well done ISU. I also wonder, why aren't the judges interviewed afterwards? I mean in soccer the referees have to explain their decisions. Why doesn't it happen in figure skating? I think it could help to make them more accountable if they face public scrutiny after a competition.

What I really enjoyed today besides Tessa and Scott's awesome skate was reading and watching the interviews. Scott speaks so highly and warmly about Tessa. What a brilliant team and how I will miss them. :wuzrobbed

Ha I love their fashion recaps. Read them for years, they've been shipping them since Vancouver.

Yep. Their first ever post about V/M included the comment
"They look so CLASSY and elegant. Which is not something I have EVER said about ice dancing, ever, in my entire life. I also decided last night that I am totally ‘shipping them, and want them to get married, and I basically love them. Just let me finish this piece, and then I will start my fanfic!"

They've also written about them in 2013 (the next slide is them too)
At the 2014 Games (next picture too) and at the gala where they just want them to 'do it already'. Also, though it's not V/M, this gala is where they fell in love with Javi and post like 3 pictures of his 'SuperJavi' aerobics exhibition

And 3 photos here of them from 2017 Worlds
 
Oh and another idea, especially because of judges like Rogers: In soccer teams can't outright refuse a referee but they can go to the league and tell them about reservations they have with regards to a certain referee. The league examines their "proof" and can then decide to not send this referee to the team's games for a certain time. Wouldn't that be a good idea for figure skating? They could at least decide that judges aren't allowed to be from the countries of the best teams coming in (maybe of the top 10?).
I think seeing Rogers questionable decisions about Tessa and Scott's skates, she really shouldn't be allowed to judge competitions they are in.

Scott, you are the best: "OH, I thank my lucky stars every day I get to go out there with Tessa." https://vimeo.com/256450366 :wuzrobbed

Edit: And to make me even more sentimental: A new fluff piece from NBC with baby Tessa and Scott and Scott being cute again: https://tessaetscott.tumblr.com/post/171059341755/new-nbc-fluff

Even if you’re not religious we all must pray that the US, FRA, RUS judges are out for the FD lmao! I would even take RUS or FRA over US so done with Sharon Rogers. Is there a way to report her? She needs go and it’s not even just about VM her scoring for all teams is suspect. Idk how I’m going to handle tonight. I had plans last night so I could skip watching live, but I’ll actually be home tonight :drama:
