OK, I'm an old lady and I almost never say things like this, but Camden and Alex J. is one good looking KnC

 

[yelyoh]

Yup that was correct.

Jimmy holds onto the lead - but it is close

Just back from groceries - I see Jimmy and Camden came on a mission today, good for both! Let's see Andrew...

Surprisingly good skate Camden- not that I don't think you are capable, just don't expect you will actually do it

ANDREW!!

 

[moonvine]

Jesus Christ Camden your camel spin . The quad will get an under, but the other jumps were fantastic, he's such a gorgeous skater and he seems so much more well-trained than during the GP series. I really hope he can put together a good free skate, because he has such quality and I really want him to put it all together for the Olympic season.

If he wants to make the Olympics, in my opinion he would be best served by not working full time and trying to train as an elite skater. But maybe that's not the problem.

Go Andrew! Just like all year!

 

[momrk]

really hoping AT, really hoping for you

Praying for Andrew

It’s really remarkable how steady a competitor Andrew has become! This has been a dream season for him.

well tara.. i hate this song... so good for you if you think it's the best SP of all time... it just confirms you and I are not a good match

 

[moonkat]

Andrew looks so light on the ice
love it

This program is utterly fantastic. It's the type of casual, modern choreo that Shae does so well, and Andrew just seems to perfectly get this music and movement style. His skating is so smooth yet aggressively fast, and his jumps looked fantastic here as well. This will set him up perfectly to take a medal tomorrow. That step sequence deserves +5s, it is one of the most brilliant pieces of choreography I've ever seen.

I also love to see his composure after that skate - I love seeing the release of emotion that some for the other skaters have had today, but I think this will help him stay grounded and focused for tomorrow. Jean-Luc has talked about how important Brandon Frazier has been for keeping Andrew calm, and I think this will be a really valuable asset for helping Andrew maintain his medal position.

Torgashev's step sequence made me jump up and cheer. I have now sprained at least three joints but it was well worth it.

 

[bramweld]

I wish he'd point his toes Torgashev....it would just elevate the programme.

 

[GGFan]

This program is perfect for Andrew. I love it everytime. I'm so glad he's moving up and building a reputation. Love his skating skills and speed. The movement in the choreo is completely unique to him--it's a completely different approach to artistry.

 

[underrotatedflutz]

This is one of the best of all time according to Tara? Makes it seem like she started watching figure skating this season...

Well done Andrew with beautifully captivating steps and spins.
