This performance is making me miss Jason Brown. Like her dress, though.

 

[Krunchii]

Rika is a little slow and her movements are a bit sluggish for me to enjoy this Riverdance...

I thank the Australian SBS for not cutting off Mao, but they cut off Rika! And I love me some Irish dancing, so rude. :sad21:

 

[randomfan]

NOOOOOOOO! STREAM KEEPS FREEZING AND I CAN'T WATCH RIVERDANCE! Why is it doing this now, at the worst time possible???

Rika: first hunchback queen of the night!

(Elena is second hunchback queen <3)

Hey, you know what? So was Taglioni

Green not cursed for Rika the Rock!

The way the calls are going tonight, it looks like the tech panel is being veeeery stingy. This doesn't bode well for Ashley. Or Gracie's flip. Eeep. (And will Medvedeva finally get an edge call on her lutz?)

Med got a ! at GPF, but it doesn't really matter that much when you have a program so packed with contents... the question is: will she be rewarded here for the tano arms?

My neighbors are going to murder me but you go Rika!

That huge smile!

 

[Alchamei]

YES RIKA! o

 

[ioanablabla]

I'm enjoying commentary free CBC stream. No TAT, no Johnny, no Tara. :yay:

We want some of that too

 

[Chemistry66]

I'm glad she had fun with that. And I really like her dress.

 

[Bumdid]

Yaay. Go Rika!!!

 

[Lissy]

What a fun program and performance for her!!

 

[Watermelondrea]

That freaking double toe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

 

[FunsizedFlier]

Rika is lovely, but omg, I wanted to pull her shoulders back so much when she skated out. She makes me sit up straighter just looking. But her smile is beautiful and she really seemed to enjoy herself!

 

[yelyoh]

Rika rocked!!!!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Rika jacked Alaine's spin.

Awesome riverdance!! Go Rika!

 

[hurrah]

Rika was on fire!
