2021 NHK Trophy: Free Dance

[kmw227]

Well, I'd like to officially declare my allegiance to team Smart/Diaz for the Olympics. That first lift was really scary, I thought for sure that it was coming down.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Should be lower but whatever.

I was torn again, this time by Spanish teams.
Last week, I thought I like S&D better, but H&K is also good, and Led Zeppelin, original version!

i would have put Lala's ahead... the judges almost did it too.. but it's okay... i need a gold in the prediction game

 

[rain]

In no universe should that be anywhere near La/La. I'm just disgusted with the judging. This dance is not a winner in my book. Give me Smart/Diaz.

Here a SB. There a SB. Everywhere a SB.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I guess go Brits because it would be nuts if that got a medal.

 

[labgoat]

I can see that H/K added some touches of personality and interactive moments but at the expense of some of their technical. I do think S/D should get the nod for this, but Sara & Kirill are making it hard to ignore them. They have both had an Olympic experience and I'd really like Olivia to have hers.

How that doesn't drop them behind La/La is a travesty. These judges are blind.

 

[labgoat]

Okay now Fear & Gibson seem much sharper and have a better spark today.

 

[karne]

Always have sad/trauma flashback during techno Lion King.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

F/G had one of the more blatant "time to up the tempo for the character step!!" music cuts in Canada but it seems maybe less bad here?

They were behind them in the FD

 

[kmw227]

Ugh Lewis your twizzles Still should be on the podium, and maybe an unpopular opinion but I love this program, it's really fun!

 

[4everchan]

They were behind them in the FD

yeah but not by enough

 

[labgoat]

Japanese fans really enjoying the program of F/G. I think the program is fine now - just needs twizzles and small errors fixed now. They are now back on track.

 

[moonvine]

And another SB.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Oooh, generous

 

[lady_bee]

I should be happy about that I forgot to click "enter" when I made prediction

 

[Lamente Ariane]

NO!!
