Definitely not. It's more like. "You guuuuuuuuyyyysssss" Oh My Gawwwd. In the whiniest voice you can imagine. I hear it almost daily from my dancers.

haha not to kill your fun darlings... but Canada is a very big country.... and immigration is varied in its very different regions.... there's not really a "canadian accent" there are SEVERAL you can't compare people from Newfoundland to Alberta etc etc... even from town to town... people in Montreal do not speak French the same way as people in Quebec city.. and these towns are only 2 hours apart in car... it is indeed a country with a lot of diversity
Thank you, karne. I've been avoiding the video thread because the links are ordered by the results. But, once I get the competitions finished, I'll be straight in there.
By the way, thank you for the PBP's for the Men's FS. The comments you made were very witty, and really added to the enjoyment! They were a real tonic for somebody who was getting very angry with their browser constantly crashing!
Perhaps we should make all competitions take place at 3am Aussie time...!
4everchan, I have a question for you. When we were in Canada we all loved eating Poutine Fries. They we like US fries but they had gravy and cheese curds on them. We always asked for an order of Poutine's. We were told by some people that we should ask for poutine without the plural of the 's. Which is correct?
a poutine is the dish as a whole... like let's say a soup... so you would have an order of soup... or an order of poutine... we don't call it poutine fries either.. just poutine... the only way you would use plural is if you crew would all want one and said.... we want 4 poutines...
damn now i am hungry... i hope you had those in quebec has there's nowhere else really where they make it perfectly right... (the issue is the cheese.. you need fresh curds to make poutine and when I lived in vancouver, those curds were refrigerated, therefore would harden).
a comment for you... Canadians often say EH? after the end of a question...... so maybe that's what you heard in the AH version like
this poutine is really good, eh?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it. By the way, we had the best Poutine in Montreal. We had just finished a performance at an Amusement Park called La Ronde. (Or something close to that) Anyway, we went over a giant bridge into the city for dinner and that's where we had them for the first time. We ALL were immediately addicted and had them as much as we could for the rest of the tour.
As the competition is over, any favorite performances?
Mine: Chartrand's SP , Cannuscio/McManus's SD and Vartmann/Blommaert's SP .

I really don't like pink panties with a burgundy dress (Madison Chock).

Men - I was really surprised Ithought Max Aaron and Menshov would come out dualing and it was the Canadian man winning both programs and I think he is like probably at best th e 4th seed from Canada (Nguyen, Chan and if healthy and with decent skate boots Ryenolds being ahead)
I've had some time during the weekend to rewatch some performances...and I have to say that I'm super shocked by Chock/Bates, not in a positive way.
SD looks a lot like copy-paste from Virtue/Moir 2007/2008 OD to Dark Eyes - lots of poses, transitions taken literally from it, it does not look good. I was never a fan, but at least last season's SD had great new lift and was pretty original itself comparing to other couples. And her constant burlesque dance attitude...I just can't.
FD - if Igor thinks that giving them a worse Mahler version (from Virtue/Moir's iconic 2010 FD) would make them World Champions, he's probably insane. First things first - these costumes looks like taken from 80's, I'm really not into sooo matching costumes for both skaters...Next - all poses, stops, positions, transitions screams Virtue/Moir (Igor, really?); then I thought that lifts are a real forte of this duo - in this FD probably the weakest things are lifts...Very recycled, labored, without their usual flow and fairly easy comparing for example to their lifts in Doctor Zhivago FD couple years ago...
