Thank you @sheetz, My first time to watch Stars on Ice, and Mirai is cute and like a real princess:luv17: beautiful dance.
And Nathan, shun away from the camera when Queen Meryl is introduced. Our humble boi as always.

三三一娇羞就妩媚:

Thanks Meryl fans!

Five pages in five hours dedicated to Nathan being in the audience of DWTS.

 

[yyyskate]

Okay, I watched Mirai's Salsa number too.
I think DWTS may not suit for Nathan's at least at this stage of his life. maybe never, although Nathan is a pretty amazing dancer and possibly can nail those ballroom dances better than many, but DWTS is more about show than dance. A real dance stage like in ballet west maybe more of Nathan's natural habitat.
but Mirai is a natural tho. she is charming just being herself.

Did Nathan use lip balm or lip color or whatever lip product for the first time?

 

[yyyskate]

Nah... I wanna know. It sounds cute already. I know three is included.

it is an insider joke about Nathan(between me and maybe one or two nathan Chinese fans), three three is Nathan's Chinese nickname. very cute:

I remember. Third son of his family and third sibling of the American skating Chens. Tiffany, Patrick, Nathan and Karen. I always thought it was adorable.

I agree that this show is not the right fit for Nathan.

yyyskate - Nathan wearing lip color? No idea haha - but I will assume he has worn it before as stage make-up ?

And still shy Nathan - he was totally leaning out of the shot when Mirai called Meryl the real queen

I think Nathan would be amazing on this show - though I would be quite shocked if he ever did it. Only my third time ever watching the show

frida80 - haha - and this FF really wouldn’t be able to handle it if Nathan was actually part of the DWTS cast !

very cute:

okay, the loose translation of the Chinese sentence is:

Nathan is enchanting once he is shy :

Aw! I love it!

No, DWTS probably isn't his thing, but I'm hoping he'll get to do a duet with Marin for a Japanese show, and then the producers can film them at Disneyland.

sheetz - Nathan and Marin at Disneyland would be way too cute

And how did I not notice this earlier

aww Nathan put on his Mickey ears like a little kid - with the elastic strap right by his face - not behind his ears. So adorable

Now they can go to both Tokyo or Anaheim.

after Bulldog days, it is statistics

What is this even, lol?

He mentioned statistics in an AP news story last week.

Medical statistics wouldn’t be Nathan’s major - rather a field he is possibly interested in. Seems that he is still interested in statistics major (for now!)

From LA Times article:

He's also in a dance routine in which he and Ashley Wagner perform with 2014 Olympic ice dance gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White, and U.S. ice dance champions Madison Hubbell and Zach Donohue. For someone who likes challenges, an Olympic ice dance medal might be an interesting goal. "2022 is still quite a long ways away. 2026 is even longer," Chen said. "No, I'm joking."


Olympic ice dance medal !!

New article from Japan that mentions Nathan.

I think this part will enflame the Raf haters in this thread:

“What he told me is, ‘I want to try it.’ He doesn’t want to leave me, and he knows that I am the coach that basically made him who he is,” Arutunian said confidently.

Good news is that it confirms they will re-evaluate after this year:

“He wants to try to study and skate, which in my opinion is very, very hard,” Arutunian stated. “But this is the only time he can try to do it. He told me, ‘Rafael, if it doesn’t work, we can do something about it.’ He will recalculate his life and start to do what would be necessary. Again, it’s his life, not my life.”
