Hungarians looking solid apart from a little struggle on the sbs jumps.

D/T looking good. Clear split on the 3Tw, maybe a little low? Solid Axel sequence, and she hangs on nicely to the 3LoTh landing.
with Kevin, they are a dream team! Although my favourite commentator is still Mark!KMT and KW commentating the practice. I wish they would comment all GP seriesthey are good

I think Kaitlyn is my all-time favourite commentator. Mark is a close second. I usually watch the events in French but I will watch the English this weekend (though I cannot watch it all due to other commitments) because of the 3 K s

Let’s get to the important stuff. I have a screenshot of the lunch menu at the arena from my source, if anyone is planning to go tomorrow and needs to know

I also missed their runthrough, but I agree, their costumes are a very beautiful shade of peachy pink.

My source who is there thought the costumes were ethereal and lovely, but—had nothing to do with Wuthering Heights, as we understand it. More soft and pretty than overwrought and passionate. This makes me think this could be a post modern rendition, or something like that.
I haven’t seen it, of course—just speculation.

Some GSers know how much of a fan I'm of Piper and Paul and I KNOW that I should wait for the programs to be actually performed, but I just can't shake sense of those costumes being too 'pale' in terms of presentation. Especially in a season where I feel 'the louder, the better' approach is the one being rewarded, intricacy or nuance not being exactly in favour.
I just don't want to see the program being dragged down because of packaging. I really don't. Plus maybe I have flashbacks from pastel costumes at Beijing Olympics. Maybe it's just my Negative Nancy persona getting activated full-on.
I'm also foreseeing 'old-fashioned' comments about those costumes.
It's REALLY high time to cut emotional strings from skating, the above is proof (lol).

Thank you for the voice of reason
It's 12.30 AM here, I have insomnia, still face to wash & tend to and I'm clearly going way too much into everything.

While I haven't seen the costume in question, is it any solace to remind that some of the most gorgeous and fondly remembered costumes in fs history have been pale or even white? And I agree with @4everchan, if it doesn't work they can always change it, getting and working on the first reactions now in the early GP series is a good idea.
You can try, but given that folks are still obsessed with every stitch some skaters gone pro wear on ice, I don't like your chances
Which - from my vague historical thoughts and googling - could be claimed to be rather historically authentic, soft shades including pink were popular in the 1840s. No, I don't think Piper researched. But I like the thought

I'm already in a snit, yet haven't seen the program. Way to show my fatalism. Thank goodness for people in community though who can at least make me wait a bit.

So I see the costume - that's so pretty! And Paul is not ruining the mood with black trousers, the grey is much more complementary.
In any case, I wish them luck.
