2023 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance

[Sai Bon]

Lithuanians were kinda white trash. I loved it.

A real contrast to the Finnish team. She couldn't do trash if she tried.

I like Saulius and Alison's music much better than some of the others with abrupt cuts. Much more coherent as a theme and program (I'm not a fan of Guns and Roses, but still).

The exact reason why their RD is my favorite this season, along with Piper & Paul's.

I really like Charlene & Marco's RD choreo as well, but I just can't deal with how they mash Phil Collins and Bonnie Taylor together in a very jarring way

I feel like I'm at a random pride festival surrounded by geriatric gays and I'm LOVING IT

My nephew has seen Taylor Dayne live 37 times and does a drag impersonation of her in Kansas City, and he's only 39.

While I like the Taylor Dayne choice of the Finns and enjoy their skating, I thought the Lithuanians were stronger, so I'm glad about this placement at least for the RD.

my prediction game score isn't happy about it though

good for him! my friend's boyfriend once shared a cigarette and did shots with her, in louisville, I think.

I think Fear has improved quite a bit...it's no longer jarring how much worse her basics are.

 

[4everchan]

wow... lower levels than expected for the Italians

 

[Rebecca Moose]

 

[Seven Sisters]

I do think that is the best they have performed this so far this season, especially in the first section

 

[Weathergal]

I'm not so sure about Charlene's makeup, but I think the Italians' costumes capture the 80s as well as anyone in this comp.

 

[4everchan]

what time are the women are ? i need to schedule quite a few things in order to be fully committed to more figure skating.

 

[4everchan]

i am not sure with the many gimmicks they do in this RD... almost outgimmicking F/G

 

[jgg220]

These costumes are so unflattering I'm wondering if Fusar-Poli lost a bet. Skated well, but nothing I've seen tonight has made me rethink rooting for Gilles and Poirier to win Worlds by a huge margin this year.

 

[4everchan]

Well.. this bodes well for LaLa

 

[Sai Bon]

ooooh...only a smidge separates the top 2. Vino, vino... (still 20 minutes to go!)
