This is all I can think of when I see Johnny's hair.

Off topic: Hey folks, how’s autumn going in the US? It’s my favorite season because I love the weather, but here in Mexico, we don’t really see many trees changing colors like in Maine, for example.

Unseasonably warm in the Chicago. area. Tomorrow 68 degrees.

The US is a pretty big place with a wide variety of climates. Here in southern California, the weather is cooler right now, but you don't see very many trees changing colors here either. When trees do change colors here, some parts of the same tree are green while other parts are red...

Why am I seeing commercials on Peacock? I didn’t see commercials when the other GP events were aired on Peacock.

Because Peacock hates us.

That female announcer is very very annoying, lady you are not calling the cows in!!!

They talk through the performance

I’m in the Netherlands with Ted.

Is nice their SP, some errors but well I think sooner will do it amazing, that short program is nice by itself because have balanced aesthetic, music and technically is very interesting and what do it attractive

Look at the video of Chan/ Howe's sp at Trialeti Trophy. 71+ score. Clean. They have to learn how to perform well under pressure at high level comps. U.S. does not invest in developing their pairs teams and giving them sufficient opportunities. C/H also had a quick turnaround from NHK; they were given this assignment at the 11th hour. Skate America unfortunately does not have U.S. top teams skating in Lake Placid.

Not my picture, but taken by someone I know in an area near my town.

We don't have any changing colour, but I love our natives anyway.

IDK how about US but in my country which Poland November is typically butt-ugly. Hazy, overcast almost all the time, rainy and with short days already, blech. There's a saying in Poland ''piękny jak noc listopadowa'' - ''As beautiful as a November night''.

People tend to like the kind of climate they’re not used to. I hate sunny and warm days; I love the rain, the clouds, and of course the snow.

 

[TallyT]

Because Peacock hates us.

I think the feeling is mutual...

California have a climate very similar to Santiago, Chile but in Fall we see some Arce japonica trees changing colors and Oak

Go Kelly Ann & Loucas!!

5. Kelly Ann LAURIN & Loucas ETHIER CAN
SP: "Asturias" by Suprhot, featuring 2WEI

3Tw2 (bit tight on the catch)
3S (Kelly Ann forwards, holds on)
3LoTh (holds on)
5RLi4
CCoSp4
StSq3
BiDs3

SP: 61.29 (3rd)

This was one of Kelly Ann and Loucas's better short programs of the season. They aren't quite as fast as some of the other teams in this group and there's a lot of crossovers in between their elements, but they got everything done and had decent levels. Now, they just need to work on improving the GOEs and quality on their twist, steps, and spins, which will come with more speed. They have a lot of time, Kelly Ann is really young (she's 19! that's crazy!)

I always like seeing their reaction after a good program

 

[FlossieH]

That was nice from Kelly-Ann and Loucas.

Johnny just said "I feel terrible talking over Whitney". Not over the skating, just over Whitney.

 

[Ares]

Yay, almost perfect from the Canadians!

Kelly Ann & Loucas. Nice outfits and program. Really good skate.
