This is such a lackluster field. I want Chan!

Those are, except for Plushenko, only skaters in the second row.

 

[Mathman]

So, Plushenko is the first to skate because he has no current ISU ranking?

 

[snowflake]

Those are, except for Plushenko, only skaters in the second row.

Nooo, don't say that :-( I want Weir to finally be the big challenger And I will be opiimistic for any surprises :yes:

 

[Kwanford Wife]

Can't wait to see what Johnny looks like this season! I hope he does well and ends up with a podium finish. As for my arrogant darling Plushy - this should be interesting.

 

[Nadine]

OMG, just a minute ago they showed Johnny Weir's fans! How fabulous, I'm wondering if they're the ones called "Johnny's Angels"?

Each one had on a black sweatshirt with a single gold initial on it. For example, the first fan stood up with a huge J, then the next fan stood up with an O, and on & on until they spelled out JOHNNY WEIR!

Wow, Johnny has the best fans.

EDITED TO ADD: hey, where are Evgeni's fans? Seniorita? Plushyta? et al?

 

[Nadine]

Nothing going on except I'm so happy that they're playing Michael Jackon's "JAM" ~ love it ~ I'm a huge Michael Jackson Fan, can't wait till I receive my OPUS in December.

Apropos music for Evgeni IMHO.:thumbsup:

 

[Nadine]

Sadly, the rink isn't full up, possibly 75% full, which is better than TEB, which looked like a poor turn out, half empty.

 

[Nadine]

GOOOOOOOOOOOO EVGENI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He'll be the first one up, should be starting any minute now, I'm soooooooo excited!

 

[Nadine]

They're introducing the judges one by one.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!!:agree:

 

[Hsuhs]

Is that Borodulin in red costume?

 

[enlight78]

Is it me or is this years male costumes are quite bad compared to last season

 

[demarinis5]

Go Plushenko!!!!

 

[Nadine]

Evgeni looks absolutely drop dread gorgeous in form fitting black to show off his beautiful physique.

He looks like a king out there, just one sparkly stripe down his chest.

One bobble on a jump, hands down, shake it off, save your jumps for the competition.

All the other skaters have kinda outrageous outfits on except for Evgeni, yes, I'm biased, lol!

ONE MINUTE LEFT IN WARMUP!!!!!11

 

[Hsuhs]

Is it me or is this years male costumes are quite bad compared to last season

[Nadine]

Mishin looks scarey & serious standing by the boards, hands clasped around his chest, intently staring.

WARMUP IS OVER!!!!!!!!

[Hsuhs]
