It was so nice of USFSA to invite Lisa Elsener. And hearing the crowd cheer for her so loudly was even better :)

Anyone watching? Hard to watch this and Euros....Karen Chen's doing a beautiful silk-fan style dance.

I am a super woman, I can multi-task! The mute button is my friend while watching two events at once.

Not very happy with some of NBC's choices though, I would have liked less Johnny/Tara fluff junk and more performances from our great US athletes.

Yeah, so strange -- 4 ladies, 3 men and only 2 pairs/dance. Would have loved to see some of the younger skaters.

Also strange to end with an interview with Jason after Nathan's gala. It seem sort of detached there.

Agreed coverage was odd. But Nathan's finger wag was awesome and loved Mirai.

Maybe she should do Shake it off as her SP next season? FATM are a nice fit for her.

Yeah, I thought it was a nice EX for Mirai.

I laughed at Nathan's finger wag. I though Johnny's gasp at Jason's spilt at the end was funny too.

I still really like the Shibs' ex from Lambiel...I hoping he's in the running to choreo a competitive program.

They broadcast the local college basketball game instead. I live in North Carolina so yep Duke versus Wake Forest is going to cut it take priority. I guess I'll just catch it later when they upload the videos.

I was surprised that my NBC station showed skating. This time of year it is usually Kentucky basketball.

I think it was because it was Wake Forest versus Duke. Otherwise they probably would've gone with regular broadcast. They are kind of local rivals.

The entire thing will be posted on IN on Tuesday, but you're not a subscriber right?

Noooooooo way.

Looks like Universal Sports is rebroadcasting tomorrow night though so I'll DVR it.
