Might as well start this thread sometime.

I'm well rested, thank goodness, and ready to roll for the next 5 hours, unlike yesterday, which honestly wore me out. Lol was even going to throw in the towel right before the men skated, but then that unsupervised backstage video coverage at the hotel woke me up & made me stay for the long haul.

Here's hoping we get more of that "hidden camera" stuff tonight.


NOTE: edited original title to reflect EST, not my time in the PNW. :D

Do I really want to stay up and sit through this? I know it will be impossibly boring - 3 tepid American women, Mao's sub-par "Visions of Love" program, and Adelina's awful "Visions of Love" program. Oh dear.

Rotflmao! So true though, so true.

Okay, here they come.

Btw, I've been wondering about the multi-colored seats in the arena, are they supposed to be that way in order to "trick" viewers in to believeing that there are more spectators than what is reality?

Yuka Sato is so beautiful. I want her to produce the other half of the genes for at least one of my children.
