Why are they laughing about the flip combo?

 

[moonvine]

I want Michelle Lee's dress 19? Almost old enough for the wheelchair.

 

[CellarDweller]

@moonvine - they're not laughing at the combo. They were laughing at Ashley's comment about how you don't see it often, which you don't. You usually see Lutz, half-loop, toe, or Lutz, half-loop, Sal. So the fact that she did a combo ending with a flip stood out to them, and Adam for some reason thought the way Ashley mentioned it was funny.

 

[Brauliomx]

I do agree with you, all of the women should be seen now.

I see that NBC is now showing some highlights of the women's short program. I'm assuming they'll do that until the first group is finished, and then go live with the next group of women.

NBC opened their coverage with Ilia, Jason SP and now is running the top ladies from the short program

 

[Rebecca Moose]

Lee's presentation really suffered next to Gewalt

 

[Jeanie19]

Michelle. Pretty purple dress. A couple of mistakes, but still a nice program and a good skate.

 

[CellarDweller]

I'm trying not to be a judgmental curmudgeon, but as soon as they said that Michelle was portraying Bella from Twilight, trying to win the love of Edward, I rolled my eyes so hard.

 

[yelyoh]

Boo for them. But typical NBC.

 

[Jammers]

Adam and Ashley's commentary is so basic.

Ashley saying she's coming back now that the double axel sequences get full base value

 

[nickp91]

Katie Shen's dress is STUNNING omg!

 

[moonvine]

I want this dress also. Oh no....Katie...

 

[Seven Sisters]

I'm trying not to be a judgmental curmudgeon, but as soon as they said that Michelle was portraying Bella from Twilight, trying to win the love of Edward, I rolled my eyes so hard.

Why would you try not to be a judgmental curmudgeon? We are all friends here

 

[moonvine]

Ashley saying she's coming back now that the double axel sequences get full base value

Awesome! She and Gracie can resume their rivalry, I am all for it.

 

[moonvine]

Katie Shen's dress is STUNNING omg!

Yes it is, I must have it. I don't know what I'd DO with it, I certainly can't wear it. But I want it.

 

[GGFan]

I was really worried after those first two jump passes but Katie Shen really stuck with it.

 

[auser]

Kudos to Shen for coming back strong after the early falls.
