ESP commentator said Kanoko :sarcasm:

Hmmmm Gabriella has something stuck on the front of her dress... oh wait...

 

[zamboni step]

She hasn't even begun skating and Nicky Slater has already begun to slaughter Kanako's name. Ugh....another Canadian Lori Nichol's Aranjuez program...I'm ruing the day drinking in the morning was deemed unacceptable right now.

 

[Imagine]

The pointless Lexus SUV in the backdrop...:/

 

[Alchamei]

this competition is so sad with underrotations.

I was thinking exactly the same.

I'd be thankful for that if I were there, it'd be a chance to escape from all these meh performances. If people get in the way...they're only collateral damage.

 

[supsu]

I might have to go to bed after Daleman... I want to see Lip... but I'm tiiiiired.

I read something totally else about going to bed...... lol.

[tulosai]

I actually really enjoy Daleman! Hope she stays in the lead

 

[gravy]

On the note of Daleman's music... does anyone know the particular version of 'Concierto de Aranjuez' Michelle Kwan used for her LP in 2002-03?

Random, I know.

She sank almost as badly in TES as Polina did. The caller is STRICT. Does not bode well for anyone but Liza.

I know I've been complaining about lyrics being distracting, but that rose was even more distracting!

And, let's be frank, you wouldn't see somebody wear that combination in real life!

Right, girls. How many of you would wear a massive rose on a wee thin strap on a night out?

Really? I think she looks like she's serving cocktails at a high end bar.

She's totally exhausted, the speed is completely gone, and those jumps and spins have no conviction at all. Also where are the transitions?

Those spins are going to cost her.

I thought the dress looks like the one worn by a housewife trying to put the sparks back into her marriage. Anw, training in China doesn't seem to do Zijun any favor.

Found that hilarious too!

0.01 between Gabrielle and Polina.

I wouldn't. I'd wear a gigantic one in my hair though, only place

Go, Kanako!!
