Also, not inclined towards cheesy sword-fighting (though they have their cringey moments as well )

I love the cheesy sword-fighting!

I know bad music cuts, but I enjoyed it anyway. There's something very likeable about this team.

Hello everyone! Looking forward to your company! I'll be cheering on Green and Parsons.....

And I have a question for those of you who understand the scoring - Hubbell and Donohue are rated as having excellent skating skills. What are the practical things that they are doing that places them above say, Smart and Diaz? E.g are they much faster across the ice?

Next to having more speed, top teams are generally more effortless across the ice and effortlessness is also give you double GOE points in GOE scores for all the elements.

POTO? Dancers please I need to be cheered up

Ooooh the dress and the eye shadow

 

[Lamente Ariane]

My internet decided I didn't need to see that program apparently

 

[elektra blue]

oh POTO

 

[peepsquick]

Love the beginning!

 

[litenkyckling]

are his trousers sparkly? A nice touch

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ooooh the dress and the eye shadow

I'm not in love with the dress (it's not bad, just not up to my standards) but I agree her makeup is on point

 

[Ruthypegs]

This group is already turning into a proper fondue with all this cheesy music

 

[LadyB]

I'm not crazy about these two, but I love a proper dramatic POTO!

 

[elektra blue]

the ending woke me up at least, cool slide!

 

[litenkyckling]

they skated it well, I just hate the music choice

 

[elektra blue]

This group is already turning into a proper fondue with all this cheesy music

they have great cheese in Piedmont after all

Can the man paint a Phantom mask on his face? Or is that considered a costume violation?

 

[peepsquick]

Phantom of the Opera, right?

 

[litenkyckling]

Also sorry to complain again but I wish Simon had done some research before this - they don't train in Beijing, they *had* to because of the pandemic

 

[Weathergal]

I saw POTO on music list. Figured I'd not be that into it. But I actually enjoyed that, too!

I guess Loena's wonderful skating has put me in generous mood. LOL

Some really nice moments in that free dance! Really loved the choreo spin and the combo lift
