Chelsea Morrow - not her best.
It's a personal opinion but blue just isn't right for Swan Lake. Black or white are the only colors acceptable for that piece of music. Mayby she and Blake Rosenthal should have switched. That blue would have worked nicely for Debussy.
Aw, poor little thing (K Gong). She fell on a high kick. Hopefully she'll be back next year!
Go, Becky!!!
Not a good skate for Christine Gong. 3 Deductions.
Hell. A disaster for Becky. She didn't look like a JGPF winner. Not her night.
Becky Bereswell also had a tough skate. She tried to fight through it, though. Lovely long legs.
PHEW!! Finally made it here. Fresh off of editing the Ladies' SP footage that aired this afternoon...you know, TWO years in a row something out of my control prevented me from recording this event. And it very nearly became three years in a row...thanks to my DVR and my (very) spotty signal strength all of a sudden :banging: and the DVR feed broke up a few times as well. So I had to sit there and try to edit (splice) some of the coverage together. While the frames matched up, the audio was not quite in sync :banging: oh well, better than nothing. Rachel Flatt's skate in particular...Oh well, my finished product is ok, but the audio skips slightly in two spots in Flatt's program and one spot in Cohen's. Dropped frame in the intro too...and to top it off, my DVR shut off abruptly (luckily I did not lose what I recorded!!!! I would have been pissed)
Argh, this is just me yapping but it had a strange effect of calming my nerves down for tonight. Of course, as soon as I finished, I started getting nervous again
oh well, bring on the FS
Well, what do you know? Only 1 pt. off and into 2nd. Imagine if she actually did her best!
ITA about the colors. Blue for Clair de Lune for sure!Originally Posted by A.H.Black
Go Samantha!
RD, you missed some curvaceous beauties! Too bad!
Cesario did great. Her choreo does not really take advantage of that lively, flirtatious music, though, although she had a nice witty conclusion. Tara noted that she needs more power. But no falls and very good overall. Into first? ETA: Nope. Third.
Great job for Cesario. I think the lutz was on the wrong edge, but I don't think I care. I have been pleasantly surprised by her skating.

And the feed is DONE!
yay! ten minutes til NBC broadcast!!! hopefully they will get right to skating and won't show a whole lot of stuff from before like they did with ice dancing...
That beautiful skater Samantha that just went got robbed. She had by far the best program with 5 triples and gets a 74 for her FS and finishes almost 10 points behind Becky who had a lot of mistakes. Too bad.
So excited for the last two groups!
Silverlake, is it possible we agree on something?
I'm moving downstairs to the TV anad will check back with you guys later on. GO, SASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! and MIrai!!!
I think Samantha should have been first, but both her 3F and her 3Lz looked cheated.
