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

[debo]

Tough scoring for the first two groups. Only Hur/Kha best their seasons best. Plenty of level 4s given out but none for Step Sequences so far...only 2 and 3 levels given out and so many downgraded a level upon review.

 

[LisaLemon]

I feel nervous & excited for them but also resigned that they are getting silver..it will make it easier since I know the reason they held up P&C in the SD so much was to keep them close to give them the win tonight..

I am going to leave for now since I am not good at accepting defeat when it's not deserved..I hope you all enjoy the FD & I wish for V&M a beautiful peaceful perfect skate..they deserve that to end their amazing journey together..

that's fair. I prefer the panel having a say in the results than leaving it all to the judges

I set my alarm for 4:30 but woke up at 2am. Right on time. I'm so nervous already. I don't know how Tessa and Scott do it.

 

[LisaLemon]

Ok god just read this..it's over...

At the figure skating facility in Gangneung to cover Virtue and Moir’s final dance. The atomsphere is a little heavy. You hope something’s not up. But there are those who know better. Call it jaded. Call it cynical. Call it realistic. #PyeongChang2018 #olympics

As we just saw with C&B, ice is slippery. It ain't over until the competition is done. Let's stay positive.

To add Meagan's tweet that was attached to the TSN one:

For all the ice dancers competing today: Please don’t allow the numbers awarded to you by judges determine your value as skaters. Hold onto the feeling of happiness and pride you have in your ending position to tell you if you are a winner or not. #onlyyouknowifyouarewinning

However, I just hope that Tessa and Scott have the skate of their life and will force the judges to give it to them. I keep hoping for the best.

I love my German commentators: Their tip: 1. VM 2. PC 3. Shibs
That would be my dream result.

[carpis]

also the audience is totally on VM's side. The difference in the cheering was SO evident

Yeah but it could influence some judges who don't belong to any party

Yeah that tweet by Meagan scares me too, does she know something??

How has the judging been so far?

Oh god sorry I am out..will be back later, can't handle them losing again..

Their final skate people.

 

[carpis]

ok I'm already crying for the shibs, I'm gonna be a mess at the end

 

[Golden1]

I think I won't even survive their skate. My heart is beating so hard already and they haven't even started.

 

[LisaLemon]

Not watching the French team..can't bear too..

 

[Golden1]

I watched it and was bored out of my mind again. I liked the Shibs a lot more. However, I predict a huge score.

 

[Rafter]

V/M won’t be beating that.

 

[Golden1]

lol It's over.

 

[screech]

I actually found P/C's skate really beautiful - the first time I've really enjoyed them.

If they win overall by less than 1 point, it's the overscoring in the SD. But I can understand that FD winning

 

[LisaLemon]

V/M won’t be beating that.

Wait so it's over BEFORE they skate??

 

[zilam98]

the judges won't be giving out that high of score even for a clean v/m. the fix is in!

 

[carpis]

Wait so it's over BEFORE they skate??

yeah probably

 

[bbkenn]

2 10's, one on performance, one on interpretation.

 

[Rafter]

P&C received two perfect 10.00s in the PCS.

 

[zilam98]

i'd be frankly surprised if the judges will be just as generous with v/m or more

 

[LisaLemon]

If they skate it perfect they have to be though??

 

[LisaLemon]

P&C received two perfect 10.00s in the PCS.

Only 2?

 

[LisaLemon]

Was the reaction good for the French or just ok?
