Nathan Chen

Well yeah, I'm joking and already mentioned it's good to get paid. :laugh: But the point still stands he's had a tough season.
 
IDK, it seems strange to do something Kellogg's related in Arkansas. At least it wasn't a parking lot dedication. LOL
 
hopefully there was more to it for him to waste him time going there. It's like random to have something in Walmart in Arkansas (not exactly the FS loving capital of the world) and announce it a couple hours before it happens.
 
Maybe some Walmart exec (or his wife) is a huge fs fan? Just so random. Maybe an announcement will be made in the future.

Oh, I didn't mean elderly aunt. ;):pray:
More like in-her-early-thirties aunt, because if someone told me Ashley was in fact thirty-something, I wouldn't blink an eye... (unless early thirties = elderly :devil::laugh:)

But again, it's not any actual age difference that trips me up, it's just about appearance, the teenager vs. somewhat more mature look I guess (which obviously can be quite independent from a person's actual age, especially since women can add a ton of years with make-up).
And I'm not actually bothered by it, it just makes me not quite buy their interaction. ;)
And if anything, it makes me feel uncomfortable on Nathan's behalf (but then again, as you said, can't read his mind, so maybe I'm just assuming too much).

And yes, if done in a more comfortable looking way, Nathan could certainly still sell the choreo.
I actually don't enjoy the theatrics of real ice dance, so I'm more than ok with a toned down, more casual, non-ice-dancer version of these two singles skaters. So I don't need them to project more outwards, just make it look more natural, I guess.

ETA: I actually don't think he's too young or young-looking to sell this routine, I think it's just that he's never done this type of choreo before, and with a partner on top of that. So he needs some time to adapt, and I feel that a different partner could have benefited him, that's all.

Also, am I the only person that can just block out lyrics and listen to them as if they were an instrument? I usually have to make a conscious effort to catch the meaning of a song.
I was blissfully unaware of the lyrics, until I read some excerpts in this thread... :laugh:
Click to expand...

thank you for your gracious reply to my rant :)

i think it's good for him to practice faking it until he makes it, meaning... to give the audience the impression he's more comfortable with this number than he himself actually is. but i respect your points as well, and i envy your ability to tune out the lyrics ;)

thanks everyone for all the news and links.
 
This Kellog's promo is so ridiculous, I can't stop laughing... :laugh2: this smol table with tiny murican flags looks so lonely... and so does nathan
 
It's like they just threw everything together this morning. I can't believe they'd waste his time for something like this.
 
I don't understand the whole thing and why Arkansas Walmart of all places and why not announce it last week.

He has to go where they tell him to, but they should have some consideration. :noshake:
 
This LOW table makes him look so SMOL and it's ridiculous :rofl: and only 2 women... back to the days when he had no fans? :laugh: sorry, I can't stop my hysterical laughing (i feel sorry for him smh but maybe he enjoyed that, who knows).
 
It annoys me since he obviously has a market and fans who are dying to meet him but they send him to a random walmart in the middle of nowhere :scratch3: if nothing of value comes from this trip I'm going to forget it ever happened. I'm sure he'll try to do the same. And no, I don't think he's loving it lol
 
Those 2 ladies are lucky. I would just sit by his side, take full advantage of the 2.5 hours and bring him here for a group chat.
