Except I think that's his wife [emoji23]

Lol. True.

The Gwen Stefani super blonde is not really a good look...

In the team event they were being really strict. Tonight we've already had a level 4 pattern. Very lenient tonight

Its true, but to be fair all those teams already got L4 this season. Its not like they are getting them for the first time. And from what i can see they are skating with no visible mistakes and deep edged for now Im pretty sure this is the best skating from those skaters we've got this season so

Looks like Evan's in the running for the silver in the deep-v competition... (NBCSN showing Andrea interviewing them)

Coomes / Buckland (GBR)

Complex connections right from the start. Powerful and precise edgework through the rhumba steps (Level 4). Nice cartwheeling backwards and forwards in the Level 4 curve lift. Good hold changes throughout the partial step (Level 3). A little awkward in the first set of twizzles but better twizzles in the second and third sets (Level 3). Fairly strong curves in the midline step (Level 3).

I thought that the choreography was very interesting, given that this is a Christopher Dean program, with different kinds of holds and shapes. Strong curves, speed, and knees, though I felt the choreography was a bit stiff still and I didn't get that Latin sass and flavor as much.

I wonder if Tanith is complaining about the inconsistency. They were tossing level 1 and 2 Rhumba to top teams just a week ago and all of a sudden they're giving level 3 and 4s like candy to LOWER RANKED teams.

Yup.

:noshake:

I can't find one that says "I'm so GRRRRRRRRR that I'm using an icon so I don't get banned" icon so that will have to do. I'm finding the judging that bad already.

Stefani would've tended to those roots.

It's very Strictly Ballroom, though.

No, they did not marry just to get her citizenship. They married because they fell in love.

Didn't know that.
I guess they would have waited some years though before marriage if not for the Games ^^ They are quite young.

 

[oakandbirch]

Well, just in case, I am definitely in love with him!

He has beautiful lines.
Too bad for him he has to skate with her. She's like a wood log he has to drag around. :disagree:

Tag yourself, I'm Charlene Guignard nervously jogging back and forth.

Did Carol just say Penny had had wires in her kneecap rubbing? That sounds awful .

Why have none of her friends told her to go a couple shades darker?? It has bugged all season

 

[machin]

Scoring will be like Pairs SP, very high overall.

No, they did not marry just to get her citizenship. They married because they fell in love.

Well I'd hope so because I'm pretty sure it's actually illegal to get married simply for citizenship...Or at the very least they scruntinize the marriage and if they're not convinced it's genuine they'll refuse citizenship, at least in the US. A friend of mine's mother married a US guy and they had to produce all sorts of evidence before she could get US citizenship.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Kurt is comparing Christopher Dean’s choreography to the man being a dog shaking around a bone (the woman). I can’t even.

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

My dog is so awesome. She waited until a break to ask to go potty. Good girl!

 

[jillredhand]

Aw, Nazarova and Nikitin aren't going to qualify? But then we don't get to see her sparkle sculpture of a hairdo!
