2021 Skate Canada: Women's Free Skate

[bigsisjiejie]

Horrible version of Eleanor Rigby, and unfortunately Schumacher is not interpreting at all....though I'm not sure this particular version is interpretable.

SHUT UP SIMON
Yes, Mana was incredible. But focus on Alison and her best qualities. Assess her program. She's the one skating right now.

I know you'd never get that BS from Ted.

However I can't switch streams because I want our local SBS to know I love skating and to keep streaming it, please.

Does anyone really really hate Simon's commentary? I think I might dislike it even more than Tara/Johnny. I was watching the CBC feed but it started having problems.... Ted and Patrick are so much better than Simon...

I'm glad to be watching on Peacock (not a sentence I often say) simply because there's no commentary

Hello from Finlan..I mean Signapore. I missed Mana because of the winter time cahnge I thought this will start later but I'll watch her skate later. 4.53 a.m but womens FS is worth of waking up on Sunday morning.

Good luck everybody.

Patrick is super honest which helps to compensate for Ted's loving everyone with so much support.

Wish Peacock would allow willing customers outside the US to pay for their services (tried with a VPN, failed)

I don't get it? He seemed OK in the old days with Chris. But then that was 20 years ago so maybe it's old age creeping in?

Definitely. It's one of the worst paid services out there already, they could at least make it accessible lol

Honesty coupled with kindness is great commentary. That's why I like Ted and Mark, they're knowledgeable and nice.

I wasn't a fan of Chris/ Simon before... but they were tolerable. This is not tolerable.

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh dear.

I subscribed before using a VPN but you might need a paid one because the unpaid VPNs don't change their IP addresses often enough.... I might subscribe again. I hate commentary.

I guess it could be worse...we could be listening to T Tarasova and Yagudin and...horror of horrors UNDERSTAND them.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I am baffled why so many skaters are choosing vocalized music, where the original instrumental would be so much better. I'm no Luddite, but my ears sure felt better back in the days when vocal music wasn't allowed.

It's awful for US Nats. Anyone outside the US has to watch a pirated stream because it's not streamed anywhere besides Peacock and NBC.

Tara/Johnny is very predictable to the point of being scripted like reality TV.
Simon, on the other hand, still manages to bring some surprises that provide eyerolls and memes. And I love memes.

A bit of a mixed skate from Emily - There were some nice moments, but a few miscues too. I don't connect to her skating style, and I didn't find the program terribly exciting.

Agree, but her SP was better than usual. This wasn't. Oh, Ted agrees. I went back to the CBC... laggy is better than Simon
