[Sam-Skwantch]

It's on NBC right now. Anyone watching?

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

ZOMFG!!!! Johhny is wearing something I can't begin to describe. Look away I can't!

NBC Breaking News: Nathan Chen has been named to the World team!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Lol...they cut to a shot of the Choir when Ashley jumped. I wonder what happened

 

[sabinfire]

They are showing Nathan Chen!

 

[sunnystars]

why did they have to show that

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Nathan Chen just wrenched his back and they just won't stop the Aerosmith.

 

[sabinfire]

Right up to being loaded into a wheelchair.

 

[Matilda]

I know Nathan has already had the surgery and is on the road to recovery, but it's still awful to watch him in pain. Poor kid

 

[silverfoxes]

Is there a stream?

 

[sabinfire]

Now NBC is showing replays of the Pairs FS.

 

[Marth]

Was there REALLY any need to show that? They could have just said he had gotten injured, they didn't have to show the damn thing. Such poor taste, they'll do anything to boost ratings.

This music is breaking my soul. Sorry not sorry....it's just so brutal!!!

 

[silverfoxes]

Poor taste maybe but how does it boost ratings? Did they advertise that they were going to show a skater injuring himself?

He hurts himself in the first seconds of the program and the rest is just a camera following him around as he's in obvious pain.

I immediately clicked

What a weird jump. He came out early and then tweaked the landing. Like a double whammy. Ugh!!!! Poor kid.

Polina is totaling politicking herself to the masses.
