Pretty decent judging today. I’d have Isabeau and Niina closer but otherwise ok

 

[YuBluByMe]

Hendrickx closed it out with a great skate. Well, that was a good competition. At first, I thought the first group was underscored - in particular, either Seo’s score should be lower or a few others should be higher - but the final group justified the gap.

 

[4everchan]

Wow, she got insane GOE on just about every element. Good for her.

And, I'm probably in the minority, but I do not like the bit of hanging over the boards flirting with the judges.

I think the flirting with the judges should have died when Katarina Witt retired.

Loena's short program last season inspired by nephew, a drag artist, to create a new character named Carmen Miranda Extravaganza. I can't wait to see what this year's short program (and costume) inspires! Leona and Amber were my clear top two live in the arena. Now time for a quick drink before the men.

 

[SnowWhite]

Loena killed it

 

[FlossieH]

I know that was an excellent skate, but I didn't really like her programme. Kaori's skate in the olympic season really showcased a positive power in women. I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding Loena's programmes, but she seems sometimes to present women as having value just if they are a sexualised object. I'm actually quite uncomfortable with the sexually provocative bit (which she's done similar before).

 

[4everchan]

I don’t mind it if it’s just a moment but she spent a little too long there imo. I thought she was gonna ask them for some water to go!

She was ordering shots.

 

[16Olympics]

Very nice ladies especially the 2nd group. Amber was steady and precise and I liked her the most tonight. Loena is just a performer and a heck of a skater. Can't wait until tomorrow.

Is Young You just the prettiest out there? Too bad she popped but she's just so lovely.

 

[Axel Rose]

including the flirting with the judges à la Witt ! hahaha

This only confirms my wish for Loena to work with Sandra Bezic.

 

[labgoat]

Well with Hana & Young You imploding, my predictions for ladies are in shambles.

 

[Jammers]

Why has Andrea Joyce not been put in a home yet? Dear God she is terrible.

 

[4everchan]

Well with Hana & Young You imploding, my predictions for ladies are in shambles.

they can only go up tomorrow though

 

[labgoat]

Why has Andrea Joyce not been put in a hone yet?

What an absolutely terrible thing to say.
Disliking her commentary is one thing, picking on her age is another.

 

[cheerknithanson]

So Amber beat Isabeau in GOE.

Nice judging? They underscored a lot all the asian ladies on PCS
