[anonymoose_au]

Hoooray! Nam has a friend now!

LOL and they've come up with a routine.

Poor Adam...popping a jump sure does ruin one's night.

And once again Yuzuru inspires wild cheering by just showing up.

 

[Doggygirl]

I can't believe World's and the season is almost over.

 

[evangeline]

Hahaha I bet the camera people did that long close-up of Hanyu just to get the crowd screaming

 

[Lota]

Now Russia is fighting for 3 spots.

 

[Winnie_20]

Aaaah, I just got caught up with the recordings. Just in time to watch the final six live. Karma!

 

[satine]

And the highest PCS mark thus far is 8.21 in Interpretation for Adam

 

[OS]

well deserved PCS

 

[cheerknithanson]

Misha and Nam playing with stuffed animals! Too cute!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

wow really
I always thought that Chinese is the most difficult language

haha the commentator is on the hotness topic as well
"In as tight trousers as Max Aaron"

I always heard english was the most difficult because we don't follow our own grammar rules

Nobody's trousers are as tight as Max's.

 

[treeloving]

I think it time to say goodbye to Japan's 3 spots, but US. still has hope.

I still can't decide who I want to root for gold between Yuzu and Javi, I hope they end up with gold and silver in any order.

I can't watch!!!!!

 

[andromache]

Adam scored the highest PCS of the night so far! Nice to see him not end up lowballed for once.

 

[anonymoose_au]

LOL did Sergei just take the feathers off his costume yesterday?

Oh well, still looks hot. It'd be so cool if he got on the podium! I wonder if he can!

 

[Sugarpova]

aw I need gifs of Nam & Misha pronto too

Cant believe someone is against the 2nd K&C
Imo its an amazing idea

 

[invisiblespiral]

Misha and Nam playing with stuffed animals! Too cute!

Aww. .

Go Sergei, Denis, Yuzu, Javi, Han, and Jason!

 

[Totentanz]

So if Japan, USA and Russia ends up with two spots, which countries can have three?

 

[Silvia451]

Final group now
I miss Machida.

 

[ancientpeas]

they are playing J10's long on the CBC feed and I can't bear to watch. :-(

 

[ice coverage]

The announcer pronounced Ge's name: GEE

This guy, whoever he is needs to be fired!

Sorry, I didn't hear the announcer.

Per IN, Misha pronounces it as "Gee" -- with a soft "g." So "jee." (But not "geh.")

This pronunciation discussion also has come up in other threads.
My opinion is that it is all too easy to criticize announcers, when in fact pronunciations often are tricky and/or non-intuitive.

 

[hikki]

A new costume for Jason!
