[overedge]

Thread title FTW

 

[MacMadame]

Just tuning in. Has Chris mangled anything yet?

 

[MacMadame]

I see Music from movie/ TV in this group. Also tights over/ boot covers

 

[JoannaLouise]

I used "cat amongst the pigeons" in a work conversation today, so I think I should get bonus points

 

[Sally1214]

Here for Pairs FS. Doesn't seem fair to the pairs to have to do their programs just 24 hours apart but such is the schedule. Good luck to all.

 

[MacMadame]

Ooh, only one sleeve

 

[MacMadame]

OMG, we have MAN BUN!!

Me too after the first few pairs, hopefully the replay will work.

 

[Sally1214]

In my wildest dreams, I wouldn't have had Hocke/Kunkel skating first in the free skate. Ice is indeed slippery.

I have to go out for the evening, unfortunately

Along with pretending to be in Europe, I’m pretending to have a headache so I don’t have to go anywhere.

 

[Wyliefan]

After I saw her catsuit, his tux made me do a double take.

Yes, why aren't we getting the RD now??

She’s the Rock, he’s the Amadeus.

 

[Sally1214]

Would have been a much better plan, I'd think.

 

[tony]

Kunkel may be injured. Every lift has been a massive struggle to go up and lock his arms

 

[Wyliefan]

It's not reassuring to hear KMT say "Come on, Robert!" as he's lifting Annika. Made me scared he was going to botch it.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Kunkel may be injured. Every lift has been a massive struggle to go up and lock his arms

I blame Salieri.

 

[Desperado]

Falco!

 

[Karen-W]

HocKun - 3tw - good; SBS 2s - mess from both; SBS 2a+1a+2a - wonky landing on the last 2a for him; throw 3lo - huuuuge; first lift - nice enough; throw 3f - on the money; second lift - seemed slow; last lift - good; FIDS - nice enough; pairs spin - it is what it is; choreo seq - fine.

Really, they need to find another choreographic lane beyond the rock one they clearly love.

Chris is definitely playing bingo with us tonight!

 

[peibeck]

H/K much better than their SP. Great finish to get the crowd revved up.

Throw 3Lo
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Throw 3F
Axel Lasso Lift 4

A rocky start, but found their feet as the performance went on.

167.72 = 1st Place

 

[Matryeshka]

Yes and if the RD was now, I could watch all of it instead of furtive glances between classes. I'm tired of the USFS not taking MY schedule into account.

Both Hockeand Kunkel struggling tonight. Their rate of regression is kinda impressive. Also, I'd like to see what Deanna and Max could do with this--I adore the idea of this program. I just want it done by better (at this moment) skaters.

He also said "got it wrong" but he didn't say 'all wrong' or 'completely wrong' so I decided not to count it.

 

[Karen-W]

Kunkel may be injured. Every lift has been a massive struggle to go up and lock his arms

I was thinking that during the second lift - it just looked really labored and slow, which isn't typical for them.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

I noticed that too

Deanna would have been the Rock AND the Amadeus.
