Tessa....

Bless her heart

 

[moriel]

and if it keeps going like this, Gracie may still end up being a good bet for worlds team

 

[frida80]

Whoa! Pop city!

 

[artsciboy]

Are you shocked? This is Ashley we're talking about here

In fairness, I think Tara did a really terrible job of paraphrasing. Here is what Ashley actually said - humorously of course:

"I’m so sick of hearing about my age...I’m so sick of it. You guys, if anyone asks me one more question about my age, I’ll just stop talking to them. It’s ridiculous. But at the same time she (Karen) has youth on her side and so much promise, and I think that’s really exciting for US Figure Skating. I think that we definitely need a new crop of young girls to come in, because I will die one day and you guys will need more people. So Karen, keep it up.”

Ohhh Tessa... omg did Tara seriously laughed on air!!

 

[glorybox6]

lol what is Johnny yammering on about re "solitary lifestyles."

 

[Chemistry66]

Tessa's bombing.

 

[aa456]

"What's in the water here at Kansas City" tell me about it Johnny. I can't watch this many pops

 

[Plisskin]

Tessa completely bombing. So many singles...

 

[Princessroja]

Johnny: She enjoys memorizing Bible verses, crocheting and knitting.
:crickets:
Other Commentator: Everybody's gotta have a hobby, Johnny.
Johnny: ...
...
You know, lots of these skaters lead solitary lifestyles like this, and it leads to very good skating, like we saw last night.

 

[Lissy]

This music is doing her no favor.

 

[andromache]

johnny is killing me here

he's going in @ gracie every chance he gets rofl

Johnny apparently reached out to Gracie to give her a pep talk some time after Worlds. When he was in his own funk he needed a coach change.

USFS needs to step in with some coaching tryouts asap. Get her to BOrser or Zoueva.

 

[KwanIsALegend]

My stream is so behind what everyone else is seeing.

 

[mrrice]

She should finish below Caroline Zhang with that skate.

I'm predicting a coaching change on the very near horizon.

So do I. I think Frank will actually drop Gracie just like he dropped Tim Goebel. Especially after Gracie went and saw Alex. She might be begging Alex for a second chance. She should go, and like Mariah Bell, Keep Lori as her Choreographer.

 

[Plisskin]

Nice that the audience behind Tessa right now.

 

[Chemistry66]

I'm just sitting here hugging my stuffed Puff the Magic Dragon, shoving soft pretzel into my face.

 

[Imagine]

Eeeek......now I know how badly Evgenia's program would suck if she decided to start popping jumps...so awkward with all that buildup...

 

[OS]

Beside the pops, she has some really nice details in her musical expressions. Quite a future, only 14!!!
