The French team seemed sharper though...

Energetic and well skated for Charlene & Marco. I am not too surprised that they chose the era for their programs. Love anytime Charlene wears a headband, her short hair is cute. A few mismatches this early in the season. I thought they captured the energizer bunny aspect and fun of this program.

I don’t understand G/F’s costumes - the trousers are too subdued for the colour of their tops and the theme of their music

onto cacti!

And—I just checked—Andrew is up first. Kill me now, why dontcha

Just to harp on G/F's costumes a bit more... I remember absolutely loving her green Atonement dress (and the program as well), I know that the infamous skirt-meets-blade incident would've left a huge mark but still... I mean there must've been a better way to stylize them than ketchup & mustard with grey

Trust me, you don't want to. It's a little hot there (460°C) and the atmosphere is acid.

But perhaps Russian love machines can withstand such an extreme temperature?

Brown or possibly khaki would have tied them together better imo

Maybe they will have alternative costumes to follow the trend..it doesn't seem like them though

Agreed, but I’m amused by the decision to put suspenders on her. That’s HIS thing

Wow, Chock/Bates and now Guignard/Fabri have shown vulnerability in the RD during the Grand Prix. Both Gilles/Poirier and Fear/Gibson have scored higher in the RD so far in the Grand Prix.

Thanks everyone, I had a great time watching with you.

Still, they reused the robot costumes for their FD...

Suspenders look good on willow, artsy Englishmen and noone else. Fight me. Well, maybe the girl from Fifth Element.

Gosh, scores are basically telling us Free Skate it is for most teams. I made my kid laugh as I was screaming about level 3 twizzles...and maybe pulling my hair. she was like, sorry, Mom, I will just go.

 

[Idiote]

I screamed so much for the women that I add a bit of an energy drop for ice dance. Still had a really good time, but memory is hazier. I also don't understand much about ice dance technique and scoring so I just go on *vibes*

I love L/B's Space Rasputin program, it's super fun and they seemed to have a blast. My favourite program of the event.

The Mrazeks siblings also had a really cool program, really not fond of the skirt-flicking part and not sure how the packaging fits the music. They are crazy fast and committed. Very curious to see what their board lift in the free dance looks like from the other side of the arena.

I hate G/F costumes but the program was cool and memorable. I found them quite bland last year and was pleasantly surprised to really enjoy them.

Most of the other programs and teams just became a mush of disco in my brain. I had a great time, but overall the programs lacked in diversity, not many stood out to me.
