FB winning the earring game!

FB/S they're so good looking. I can watch them all day, not because of looks, but for their connection on ice and the qualitiy of their programs

 

[cake]

Great lifts, but I can´t warm up to this program.

 

[rain]

That was stunning. I loved it. They flew across the ice. That was so, so improved. They had flow and expression. I've been unsure about this program until now, but this program has made me a believer. Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

 

[skylark]

this seems the appropriate time ... plus, folks are wined up now

Doodling during the practice cam earlier:

Smouldering Beauty and Handsome Swain - Annabelle Morozov and Andre Begin

Simply Put, Best Looking - Lawrence F-B and Nik Sorensen

Gorgeous Blonde and Spanish Heartthrob - Olivia Smart and Adrian Diaz

Boy Next Door and Beauty Queen - Madi Chock and Evan Bates

Innuendo, Love, Sex and Chemistry Majors - Madi Hubbell and Zachary Donohue

Oh, and in case you think that last is a negative comment, it's very much not. I'm in love with H/D. The way they show power and charisma in even the lyrical love pieces is simply Amazing!

I don't understand why these Canadians are skating to a woman reciting high end Hallmark greeting cards, but their dance skills are far superior to the program. I preferred the entertaining Spanish team.

Did LFB/NS make changes in the last year's choreo? Because I liked it much more now than last time. I remember being mostly confused then.

I suspect those are “desperado” riding gloves but yes, a bit bulky for ice dance

no... they really are oven mitts.. .i have the same at home.

 

[SnowWhite]

I love this weird FD

 

[Chantilly]

Hmm I liked the beginning and last half of this program

I don’t love the amount of voice over, but I hate the vocals in the twizzle sections.

 

[ladyjane]

I miss the Vikings feeling in this dance (it was in their costumes more last season) but I still like Laurence and Nicolaj Dancing.

 

[Skatingcat]

I think I've figured out why I don't like the voiceovers: Because the spoken dialogue draws my attention away from the skaters and their music because I spend my time trying to figure out what they are saying and how it is germane to the program.

Where do you do standup? Dangerfield's. You are very funny!!!

And now the alien-marmeid-snake

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Here comes the weird Alien program!

 

[Seven Sisters]

Strong performance of a program I really can't find it in myself to embrace. They believe in it, obviously, but the voice overs make it trite and borderline silly IMO. Another team I wish had different material (in the FD, the RD is good), because I really like them.

It kills me that they kept this, because I too think their RD rocks, and with a halfway decent FD I think they would be a real threat to Piper & Paul, who have two quite blah programs this year.

 

[rain]

I love this weird FD

Yup, and I generally hate voiceovers.

 

[elektra blue]

area 51 is denying the exiastence of this program

 

[magictodo]

This is weird and I'm here for it!!

 

[Seven Sisters]

I desperately hope that poor Evan gets a less ridiculous costume later on the season
