Oh yeah he is the guy who made his own skates to cure lace bite. They are Bauer goalie boots on dance blades.

I liked Rafaella and Alexei, that lift was lovely.

She is giving a little bit too much face, even for ice dance, but overall I am impressed.

 

[yuumagical]

These lifts approach the difficulty of pairs lifts...

I'd rather watch the skating than see Tara and Johnny interview Amber. Or how about wait for the zamboni break.

Or talk for the 100th time about Ilia and Jason, both of whom I like a lot, but enough already.

she in good bodice and burgundy skirt, he in bronze shirt and wine color pants. Soft lilting music.

Sounds like I should be watching Tara and Johnny for gushing about men

But Ashely and Adam actually kept quiet during Angela and Caleb. They are very lyrical, but they seemed slow to me, maybe I don't know ice dance. (ETA: no maybe about it )

And that song. was. so. one. note.

Ashley says the have dance backgrounds and describe their style as purposeful, needing more power. Good GOE.

Tara is gone for dance, now we've got Ben Agosto with Terry and Johnny.

 

[yelyoh]

A&A off base with Ling Wein. I thought they were elegant effortless. And I have a dance background : )

 

[labgoat]

Well Greg Z looks very dapper in that velvet? jacket

I love Ben, but Johnny yesterday made some bizarre-o comments.

Right when I thought he was getting better.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Don’t cry Angela, you did fine.

I hope that they are not thinking of calling it a career or something like that. Their career seems to have stalled a bit, after a promising beginning

Okay I’ll bite - what crazy thing did Johnny say

 

[el henry]

It is good to see Amber so happy.

I didn't watch the ladies. so I have no impressions to distill.

 

[yuumagical]

Ling/Wein's music was so soft and their skating was so relaxing to watch...

Also, Amber Glenn gets a cool trophy! I'm still so proud of her!

I think it's some type of skater's choice award?

 

[labgoat]

Amber Glenn just won Michelle Kwan skater of the year award. She is tearful and overwhelmed.

I am paraphrasing, from the RD:

You can see Oona and Gage working too hard for performance, and that is because Oona and Gage are so short,

I have comment that I’ll post later in ladies
