oh no...

After being thoroughly depressed by ice dance, I hope that the pairs will be just as amazing as yesterday and help to cheer me up. Good luck to everyone!

I hope it's not going to be anything like ID.

Oh no, fall for both

 

[labgoat]

So much to like about Katie & Daniil - solo jumps not working today will derail their progress

Gutsy of this team to go for the SBS 3Fs, but they really did not work out for them here. After the points deficit of the SP, I would have maybe tried to play it safer with the SBS jumps but I also understand wanting the BV advantage. This was definitely a more technically-focused skate for them, but the lifts and throws were really nice.

i am here... my stream is running.. but i cannot really watch after the ice dance judging. i am that affected. maybe it's one too many season of RD themes for me... and RD themes judging

SBS jumps didn't work today, but otherwise a really nice skate for McBeath and Parkmann. The programme suits them.

 

[elektra blue]

decent skate for them

Nice recovery for Lady McBeath, my Shakespearean spirit sister.

 

[Arriba627]

Good job for a new team..That one throw was a beauty.

I have a question. Ted does not talk during performances when he commentates JGP, is there a reason he comments senior GP during programs? I does not bother me, our own commentator is annoying talkative and anything is better, and I am happy this is not shown at national TV. I am just wondering.

Challenges on the SBS jumps, nice program overall. I liked the throw jumps, they looked good to my very untrained eye. The program didn't do much for me.

Sounds like I made the right choice staying with Nice until that finished?

because seniors might attract more casual viewers that need explained what they're watching

Good morning! I missed RD , but not Pairs' start
I didn't hear alarm, which I set at 0:30 AM.

I hope it's not going to be anything like ID.

not in pairs... nearly impossible... we have been watching since 2002 and they know we are watching them (the judges) in ice dance, they just don't care

Maybe it's a broadcast request that he commentates more for the senior GP ? I prefer what he and Mark do for the JGP, but Ted is still not too obnoxious even when he talks during the program imo

Yes. The broadcasters require it. He has said a number of times that he hates being expected to talk during programmes and would prefer not to.

They explained it once during JGP...but I forgot. I think he has to explain some of the things to the viewers...
