Maybe this means I have terrible taste in programs but I enjoyed that. Loved the opening combo lift! The voiceovers were a little much though.

Yeah all things considered it was pretty fun, I liked the Tango bits!

But say no to weird voiceovers kids.

Well that was a noticeable step down in quality… and a lot of giggles at the final voice over

And yet technically they are higher than C/P...

Does David/Smolkin have a second GP assignment?

The slow motion replay of the ending facial expressions scared me and my cat.

They are not THAT good, judges.

That score made me feel weird

The opening combo lift was the highlight of the program for me. I'm just not sure who thought of having a couple for whom audience members are already distracted from their skating (because of being Eteri's daughter) skate to music by a legendary couple and draw more comparisons.

Oh it’s my parrots.

Remember that one french GP when all the birds were in the arena?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Parrots!

Go Majorie and Zach!

Although I wish they were actually skating to Rio by Duran Duran.

That score is A Choice but what else is new in ice dance....

D/S have really improved. I wasn’t a fan before but I am enjoying them more and more. However, that MR was sooooooo similar to Tessa and Scott’s! It was a bit cringey as some parts felt like a direct rip off

12 points above C & P?

Yes! One of them chased Alena Lenova.

Did Scott choreo this? If so how drunk was he at the time?

 

[ancientpeas]

they are marking steps with the stingy stick

Maybe it's time the fans of the sport #metoo all that, You know, Blatant foul play in the sport

I don't see it happening though

Kind reminder from a Brazilian that just because it's a Samba, you don't have to dress like it's Carnaval...
