This ^. Mother of God that's horrendous. Front loaded, audience-pandering, I found it a bit desperate in its striving to be cute. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
The former State Senator from MA? He wouldn't be my first choice for coaches but hey... who am I to judge.
Just kidding.
Does Scott work with Frank?

I don't agree with the score that Gracie got 
The triple loop was clearly underotated and she doesn't deserve so high PCS, Valentina Marchei skating was much better than this!

The loop wasn't underrotated.
The score makes sense to me. She got 69+ for a clean program with a 3-3, so a 62 with a 3-2 and a step out on the 3L makes sense. She also racks up a lot of points on spins.

I don't understand why Zoueva thought the music was a good fit for Gold's style. You want to go with "serious jazz" then why not some of Duke Ellington, which at least has more swing than the Gershwin--and would suit her style better. Just a thought...

I don't think so. A bit heavy on all the jumps. The Axel especially looked close (turned out).
