Go big or go home [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Macarena would be that point where a bad thing is so bad that it becomes awesome.
Also, its very underused in FS =D

Mervissa have such great programs. I hope we get to see them skated to their potential eventually (still mourning Journey)

 

[bixby]

Didn't see no "gracefulness" there either. -GOE on hand down

 

[auser]

I have a secret desire to see them skate to Outlander. And I'm not even joking. They enjoyed the Riverdance program they did (well it seemed they did) and I think it's a much better fit than Candyman.

Oooh are you watching Outlander? Supposedly extra long episode this weekend. Some of the music in Hanyu's free program reminds me of Outlander music

You so get me. [emoji106][emoji23]

 

[Mista Ekko]

Everything about Mervissa except for the SBS jumps is so podium worthy

 

[nolangoh]

thats a cool entry to the death spiral

 

[ruffledgrouse]

That entrance into the death spiral, wow! He whipped her like a lasso

 

[skylark]

Did we reverse-jinx C/T? They didn't fall, right? just a step out or two etc.?

 

[cathlen]

Nice entry to DS!

They better get back to work [emoji4]

That is a beautiful program from Marissa and Mervin. If only they could land those darn jumps. Honestly, the build at the end gave me goosebumps. Some really nice moments. Build on that please kids!!

 

[GGFan]

I want so bad for it to happen for Marissa and Mervin. Many good qualities but somehow they never put it together. It's also sad that they seem to have so much more fire and personality off the ice than on the ice. These are personable people--that needs to translate.

[LittleLotte29]

Marissa and Mervin completely lack the connection on the ice. Julie Marcotte's style doesn't work for them, really.

 

[Arriba627]

PLEASE see a jump specialist. I love this pair so much.

ETA -- How about Alex O??!

That's what frustrate me!

 

[ancientpeas]

Not bad from C/T. that second SBS jump set was bad though.

so much to like..and yet bad things seem to happen.

 

[Violet Bliss]

thats a cool entry to the death spiral

This is an easier and less dramatic version of I/M's long cantilever entry into a death spiral.

 

[pearly]

Who is the male commentator on Arena?

Did anyone catch the slow motion of Stolbova and Klimov's off ice warm up twist? I really hope these two have a clean (or at least clean-ish) skate today. Their Carmen is gorgeous.
