Illa walks out like it's a typical day at the office.

[tony]

scali is my seatmate. Pardon me I’ll be busy tonight

 

[Amy L]

I think you are....plus the endlessly creative excuses for the meltdowns

Someone got mad at me for making fun of the time he said he couldn't get any sleep because he had a ghost in his hotel room. Because the hotel is haunted, duh.

 

[overedge]

I'm super impressed with how cheerful these guys are when they're running out onto the ice. I'd either be wetting myself or tripping on the carpet. Possibly both

 

[Karen-W]

With Jason no worse than 8th, Ilia has no pressure other than what he puts on himself.

No worse than 9th, but same diff.

 

[rfisher]

Now it gets real.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I miss Sandhu! we never saw enough of him. Or maybe I’m just blanking out a lot of the meltdowns

He was like the little girl with the curl. When he was good, he was very, very good and when he was bad, well…

That was definitely a classic.

 

[Aceon6]

He’s in 2nd now with 6 to go. That’s 8th

SORRY. Was looking at the wrong table

 

[LilJen]

Shaidorov is ready to go clubbing after this.

 

[Karen-W]

He’s in 2nd now with 6 to go. That’s 8th.

No, he's 3rd... Adam, Junhwan, Jason...

 

[miffy]

scali is my seatmate. Pardon me I’ll be busy tonight

You’re just living the dream these days

 

[beckab81]

Curious to see Edgaze’s program now that he changed the music. Maybe I’ll remember it now?

 

[canbelto]

Final group should be a real quad-fest.

 

[misskarne]

He’s in 2nd now with 6 to go. That’s 8th.

He's third - second in the free skate.

 

[Sally1214]

GO, KEVIN!! I have no expectations whatsoever as I know how often he's had meltdowns but I would really LOVE for him to get a medal.

 

[rfisher]

OMG Ilia looks like a trilobite in glitter I love it.

 

[slicekw]

Ilia with the hungry lady parts on his back again.

Have we any had jarring music cuts?

 

[her grace]

We don’t get this kind of innovation anymore

 

[JoannaLouise]

I want that lobster stuffie!

 

[skipaway]

Apparently skating is Kevin’s safe place

 

[beckab81]

Have we any had jarring music cuts?

Not yet, but Sharidov has one coming up

 

[Aceon6]

I want to see happy Kevin crying. Does France have another guy?

 

[Messalina]

I have officially disavowed Kevin in my mind, which should leave him free to skate ... whatever which way

At least they make them take their guards off in advance, just imagine face planting with all eyes on you
