Yes, very common.Is that really a common uber matrix for W/P?

@VIETgrlTerifa Depends on who you ask. Those Uber Matrixes I mentioned are not an FSU common ones.
But common enough on Twitter, Tumblr and blogs
Thise Uber matrixes came to mind as they are a good example of the complicated web that ice dance weaves. Of course everyone has their own perception.
All the mediums - forums, Twitter, tumblr, Instagram tend to have different feelings. Most ubering doesn’t happen on forums. The real crazy certainly doesn’t. There are Tumblr blogs and Instagram accounts with huge amounts of followers that get I think a lot more participation than the forums do on certain topics.
Some of us like our delusions!Any ice dance fan who claims to be objective about the sport either isn't a close fan of the discipline or is lying lol.
Weapo performed their RD and FD 30 times before sold out crowds on the TYCT. It may not be competition mileage, but it's a LOT of performance mileage.
You mean like Tessa Baby Blog?
Omg you reminded me of it I think that blog basically died 4 years ago when Tessa and Scott got social media and it became obviously apparent to anyone that they weren’t married with 3 children. But it was influential back in its day.
Lol I just checked it and I saw this gem
I don’t like you Madison Hubbell. Now that is an amazing example of the Uber Matrix.
I think that forum users are on the older side - the large teenage base of fans probably isn’t on here paying a subscription. They usually use Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. They also can tweet etc in rapid streams of consciousness so you know exactly what they think - as opposed to older fans on forums who hold their cards closer to their chests.
I’m never going anywhere besides FSU.
Ha ha but you’re missing out on all the conspiracies and stalking. But the Sekret Baby Blog is dead now. Tumblr and twitter is where it’s all at.
I'm reading that article and comments section for the first time. I didn't know figure skating stan twitter and Tumblr consider those of us who post on message boards as old prudes and hate the message boards.

I'm extremely tired today and I don't know if reading that is going to wake me up or make me pass out.Omg you reminded me of it I think that blog basically died 4 years ago when Tessa and Scott got social media and it became obviously apparent to anyone that they weren’t married with 3 children.

Even though Virtue/Moir have been my favorite dance team for a long time, I also like/liked both W/P and G/P (liked P/I too, but found them a bit bland in some of their programs - never thought they had what V/M have), P/C and D/W (), H/D, Shibutanis and, this season, C/B. And, yes, I like both S/K and S/B. Liked C/L and quite like G/F too, although I do find some of their programs a bit boring and enhanced only by their skating and performance. Not to mention other, "lower level" teams (returning to Canadian teams, I like both Soucisse/Firus and F-B/S ). What say you to that ?Here's another good example of the uber matrix.
The most common Uber Matrix Weaver/Poje have got negatively caught up in is the Virtue/Moir one. This is one is where Virtue/Moir are at the top of the matrix and then they don't like W/P for stepping on V/M's territory in Canadian ice dance while they were absent. Hence they back G/P simply so they can beat W/P as retribution. This of course being an abrupt about turn from when the V/M uber matrix seriously disliked G/P because they would beat Paul/Islam who were considered to be disciples of the V/M style. When G/P would beat P/I that was an extension of the judges scoring Davis/White higher than V/M despite V/M's style being 'inherently superior' *breathe*. Back in this time, I don't think W/P factored into that uber matrix because they had not come anywhere near to stepping on V/M's toes.
I was referring to competition mileage and getting it out in front of the judges...
Some teams will have had 5-6 international competitions total before Worlds, whereas W/P only 2

OMG that article is hilarious and cherry blossom is full of shit because it posted here and on golden skate under multiple usernames
Torvill and Dean are going to fade into obscurity guys
Have you forgotten the Yunabot and Maofan wars? (I am biased but it seemed the Yuna crowd was kookier.)Oh lord, I remember cherryblossom. Talk about batshit, not to mention borderline incoherent!
What is it about ice dance that attracts the kind of stans that are completely detached from reality? I don't know any singles skater stans who go that far, and pairs fans are so sedate and respectable by comparison that they can't even be called stans at all...

THAT was amazing. Because it was written by an articulate person with the capacity for in-depth analysis, and is still whackdoodle paranoia.
The only team I can't like is Katsalapov. I just can't. He's talented, but I can't. He has crushed one of the most talented ice dancing team ever on earth. I still miss I&K.
But I'll give him that this season's RD is probably his best ever OD / SD / RD. The FD is not on the same level, and IMO, Vika will never ever be as good as Elena.
Oh well.
I so wish H&D had two decent programs. Let's hope the revamping will convince me more by US nationals, because IMO they've wasted their silver of last season on those.
