Karen’s hair ornament thingie game is strong.

Great job, Mariah! That was lovely. The 3-3 was a bit sketchy, but the rest was great.

Two minor aesthetic nit-picks:
1) I don't feel like her hairstyle goes with her costume or her program.
2) I wish that she would tape/tuck in her laces.

Are we the only ones who can see that! The har with at dress? Nooo…. But I love her!

Great score for Mariah!

Karen’s hair ornament thingie game is strong.

That and full sleeves+gloves are becoming a signature look for her

I loved Lady Caliph but this program is also fantastic. Another clean skate!

 

[kmw227]

Yes Karen!! Love the new program and loved that performance.

 

[Colonel Green]

The panel had better not UR Karen once they let Mariah's combination through safely.

 

[lizardlass]

Since when was that Karen's SP music?! Whatever, I love it!!!!!!!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Who else skated to this music? I know Karen did once before, but I'm sure a Russian did as well...was it Anna?

Oooo Karen saw Mariah and did not let it rattle her!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was another solid skate (again, with a sketchy 3-3), but I found myself spacing out in the middle. This is far from my favourite Karen program. If she was going to go back to an old program, I would have far preferred On Golden Pond.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I personally preferred La Califfa but looks like Karen’s feeling confident again.

 

[Tinymavy15]

Karen is skating super strong as well. the 3/3 likely a downgrade, but she seems confident and fast and its a great program for her.

 

[mjspideygrl]

That was such a lovely program. She’s such a beautiful skater.

 

[ladykk]

Strong skate from Karen, but she is too good a spinner to be getting a Level 3 on her layback!

Who else skated to this music? I know Karen did once before, but I'm sure a Russian did as well...was it Anna?

Oooo Karen saw Mariah and did not let it rattle her!

A ton of ice dancers at the 2010 Olympics did LOL!

YAS MARIAH! The 3/3 was a bit iffy but nice to see her going for it! She played it a bit safe on the Grand Prix, albeit smartly, but I think she saw a major door opening since Bradie withdrew, so she knew she would have to be strong, and she pulled off a GREAT program!

 

[Hyena]

I'm getting nervous that multiple skaters are laying it down in the SP and getting emotional - we have a whole other day to go and 4 minutes left to skate. Please leave some in the tank!

 

[el henry]

And Karen!!! Passion, step sequences, and of course, spiral.

Do the ladies know I'm watching?

 

[yelyoh]

Karen was great. Almost same tech as Mariah. Should be about even.
