I guess Lola didn't want a clean program.

Nice to see Whatever Lola Wants from Damn Yankees

Is Ashley paid by the word?

It feels like it.

 

[Bluediamonds09]

This is off to a real bad start of an event.

I agree with the sentiment that Ashley talks like she is on a sugar high. It’s both funny and a bit annoying at the same time. At least she is nowhere near as annoying as Tara Lipinski.

It's about what I expected from the first group.

Take away her caffeine or energy drink...

Brooke. I love her bright pink dress. Really good program, spins. Good skate.

Someone (or a lot of someones!!!) PLEASE light a candle for this group!

I'm really looking forwards to this group. Logan and Sherry have put out some strong elements in practice (I'm really a fan of Sherry's skating), Sonja is one of the best performers and dancers on the ice, Josephine is a bit of an unknown but normally does so well at Nationals, and Mia has moved coaches to Alysa's team and is now focusing on just doing the triples and improving her PCS scores. And, of course, Alysa is Alysa and has an incredible program and joie de vivre now.

This group should be great. So happy Mia Kalin changed coaches. And Sherry is doing my favorite SP.
