Tara is in Jeremy's corner this year. :thumbsup:

Johnny & Tara reveal their fashion picks after the break, guys.

 

[jagragold]

Yay, they're talking about men!

Yay, they're talking about men!

So far I'm just hearing Pairs (which is what they started with). Looks like Men are coming up after this next break.

They're showing Abbott's SP from the NHK trophy. Tara is right, he did the lyrics right. Skaters need to follow the example of Abbott on how to do lyrics right.

Glad that the preview is on.

But as a general comment, a reality check re commercials:
Advertisers have paid NBC to air their commercials. NBC can't just decide willy-nilly not to air commercials, esp. for the sake of a non-live event like the skating preview. (NBC prob. has a tiny bit of leeway as to the precise moment when a commercial airs, but omitting a commercial entirely is not something a network takes lightly. Not at all.)

So far it looks like the Men's preview coverage are going to be much better than the Ladies, where they focused mostly on the Ashley v.s. Gracie battle. I suppose Men is wide open so there's no "rivalry" to speak of.

If this is in reference to the commercial discussion on the previous page here, this was in reaction to commercials during the NHL game and commercials that aired before the U.S. Nationals Preview even began.

I have no issues with the commercials during the Preview show. They are short, and NBC still fits 43-44 minutes of broadcast time into the hour time-slot.

 

[Sandpiper]

You mean this one?

My rival went on to win the Olympic games! (1080p HD)

Yeah, that's the one. It was like a cliche commercial for a catty reality show... but it could be a good way of getting people interested.

Currently watching the men's preview. Thank you for this!

Love Jason, but did not to see such a long clip of Riverdance.

Advertisers paid for the commercials within the hockey game too.

What I was saying that it was unrealistic (IMO) to expect NBC to drop commercials so that the skating preview would start on time.

Your original reply said "for non-live events like the skating preview".

Why would that be unrealistic? I see networks (including NBC) immediately cutting to the next program when another late event runs over the top of the next program.

 

[el henry]

Johnny and Sandra Bezic say almost exactly the same thing: Jason Brown has it all. Johnny, I like you better.

And Chen for bronze (if not gold?)

 

[cheerknithanson]

Hmmmm Tara and Johnny both think that Jason could win. And that Nathan Chen could possibly make the podium.

 

[StitchMonkey]

Kinda sad to see that according to them Dornbush does not exist.

Maybe they are keeping him in reserve for the "someone always comes out of no where" role that Tara and Johnny have pushed a few times. Even though he is not out of no where.

Ohh well.

Yeah, looks like the rest of the coverage today will be devoted to Johnny & Tara fashion commentary (I'm not joking).

No mention of Dornbush, Farris, Miner, among others...

 

[silverfoxes]

Oh, I missed it, can't keep time zones straight. But I'm not a fan of Jeremy or Jason so I guess I didn't miss much.

 

[karne]

Wouldn't mind seeing Jason win, but now suddenly want the winner to be someone they pretended didn't exist. I am happy with Ricky or Josh as options there. Did Max get a mention or is he not stylish enough for Weir?

 

[sabinfire]

I'm not a Max fan, but I think he may have been briefly mentioned in passing. No interview or replay of any of his programs.

Actually Johnny spoke very positively of Max. They seemed to consider him still on an upward trajectory, and actually seemed to like both his program. If anything Johnny and Tara were a bit protective of him. Tara predicts him for bronze and Johnny for silver. So he was at least in the conversation, just he did not get an interview/segment on him like Jeremy, Jason, and Nathan did (only Nathan got the interview).

What a disgrace. A very recent National Champion and doesn't even get a proper consideration.

Maybe Weir is trying to forget all these guys exist so he can hold onto the delusion that he actually would have been competitive in this field.
