Russian TV Show "Ice Age Kids"

Yes, that is the usual banter going between presenters and judges over the heads of the children.

The contestants stand there in the spotlights in their beautiful costumes, bright faced with sparkling eyes, sometimes already in the know they will be eliminated, letting the silly banter pass by them ...

The kids are the true and only stars of this show, the adult hosts and judges are just decoration.
 
What was that between him and the judges?

He blamed the judges for the unfair judging of his athletes in both seasons of the show, and himself when he participated in an adult "Ice Age" show. It was very emotional, didn't expected that from Maxim.
But in the end he whispered to Maria Rebrova something like: “Nothing, do not pay attention ... (it is not said clearly). This is a show".
The fact is that at the end of the show TAT left this girl in the project with her own strong-willed decision.
Perhaps Max's skirmish helped his athlete go further this time.

Tatiana Navka also disagreed with the TAT's 5.7 rating for the technique of the program, because of difficult jumps:

What was that between him and the judges?
He just raised questions that interest us all - how exactly is the judging carried out here?

Besty: I gave you a low grade for the technique, because I could not help but notice that you failed the triple lutz.
Trankov: Why do you give big score, to those who had two falls? Some people two jumps failed, and she only one! One! Lutz - hardest jump! She risked! People fall even toeloop, and you give them biger score. And I have a question for Gennady Karponos. Gennady answer me, please, I offended you with something? You drown me for the third season. You drowned me when I skate myself, you drowned me in last season, when I was with other children, and now too. But you do not drown me, you drown children!
Besty: Max, I don't think there is any personal bias here. Masha do you agree that we honestly judge you? Because if you had made a triple lutz, the technical score would certainly be higher. But your artistry was very good, I think you have a good score for artistry. Max, I'm really sorry you react that way.
Trankov: How else can I react if you do such things? [:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:] This girl received a million views over the past performance, the only one of all the participants! She has a million views !!! AND YOU GIVE HER 5.5 TECHNICAL SCORE !!!!!!!! [Maxim already literally shouts] Shame on you!! 5.5 !! Her video looked a million people! [at this moment 2.1 million, others girls - 250, 130, 80, 45 and less, thousands]
Karponos: I did not have, and will not any negative attitude to you. I respect you as an athlete, as an Olympic champion, but I do what I think is right. Just, she still... She's got a lot ahead of her, everything will be ahead, that's all.
ТАТ: Gena, I also disagree with you a little. You say [before] that she has a low level of technical skill, but it is not. Actually, she pretty well jumped this lutz. [In general, further TAT has a long soft, conciliatory tone, says that there was a good choreography, that the girl was in an artistic way and tried to jump without losing artistry, did not do much preparation for jumping, that the girl learned a lot on this show with Trankov] I congratulate you on this program. Train, my little fish, everything will be fine!
 
The end of the programm was touching. Presenter Alla sincerely cried. Yagudin began to mimic her, crying playfully (as if we had forgotten Alexey your big boy tears at last season in a similar situation ;)) TАТ even pulled him down: "Really, don't be clownish. It is very touching and really want to cry." "I have the right to leave one girl in the project, who lost only 0.06. And this girl Rebrova Maria". Poor Masha started crying :sad46: Poor girl - so much stress! Here even TAT melted and said off-screen in a crying voice - “I am very happy for you”
 
We don't know how the director cuts and edits the show, what is live and what is recorded.

It is a show, and the children took their verdicts in stride, for which I am glad. They are strong.
 
Trankov: How else can I react if you do such things? [:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:] This girl received a million views over the past performance, the only one of all the participants!

Well, maybe it's not very pleasant to say - but the most apparent root of such high number of views has nothing to do with her skating skills or performance. It's obvious (as with many similar children "million plus" youtube videos) that the main audience there are not fs fans - but perverted dudes/pedophiles, attracted to the video by provocative costume/image performed by little girl. Therefore Trankov's pathos here is somewhat.. misguided.

I agree about skating skills, but I disagree with performance and the pedophile part. Because for me, the “two millions pedophiles” who watched this video is a very dubious statement. It seems to me that everything is simpler - this character is widely known and popular outside the fs-community. And Maxim Trankov stressed that he could make programs interesting to the general public. It was already last season with Markholia and Karpova, who had a large number of views, which Max was proud of.

All the eliminated girls start smiling, when he says he'll start crying too. He isn't shy to cry and isn't shy to play the fool (as Tarasova called it). :)

Last year Yagudin was saying to that boy: "Do cry." (meaning it's OK to cry) - after Trankov who was saying to the boy: "I don't see, that you cry". It so happened, that talking to the boy Yagudin started crying too. :)
In short, it's OK if you hadn't forgotten.
 
Is she going to burn the arena?

Ice and Fire?

Veronika IMO is the probably the most proficient technically but also the least expressive of all the girl contestants this season, but her Dancing Master Averbukh has been able to mask her deficiencies quite effective.
Her A.N.G.L. routine and her "Oblivion" (Girl from Outer Space) routine required little acting on Veronika's part and worked well.

Nikushya is her nickname on the show. She is hugely powerful however, the height little Nikushya achieves in her jump combination: https://youtu.be/WD-OGXYqjZQ?t=154

Mariya Rebrova is the odd girl out, both her parents are artists and she did some nice aquarel work at her surprise gift. However, her emotional routine was marked down on the technical content, much to the anger of Trankov. Mariya held herself well during the argument between Trankov and two of the judges.
