[Wyliefan]

What is with these ugly-a$$ costumes for Notre Dame programs? FBSoer and this Belgian team have these awful black and olive green costumes that should have been burned on the design board.

But on the plus side, Jenna Hauer had that cool stained-glass dress.

As Notre Dame?

Post fire?

But on the plus side, Jenna Hauer had that cool stained-glass dress.

Her dress is the only acceptable one and it is only good because of the stained glass design.

 

[Wyliefan]

In that tunic he looks like he should be doing a Robin Hood program.

 

[Karen-W]

In that tunic he looks like he should be doing a Robin Hood program.

Which would have been infinitely more interesting, I'm sure.

They're one of Igor's teams. Which makes me think of Pate/Bye because a Robin Hood program from them could be fun and good.

Oh, for sure. I can't remember a good Robin Hood program since Katarina Witt. We're overdue.

Pate/Bye. I need this to happen for them.

 

[airgelaal]

Notre Dame, POTO. And this is just the first warm-up

 

[Karen-W]

Notre Dame, POTO. And this is just the first warm-up

Next warmup group is POTO 2. Teehee.

 

[Wyliefan]

I like how skaters keep digging for deeper cuts from Phantom. I believe that's the first time we got the bit about the monkey music box going up for auction.

 

[Wyliefan]

I hate lift exits that swoop the woman's head down near the ice. Hate hate HATE.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Too tired and cranky for the sound issues they haven't even noticed yet. I'm out.

I don't necessarily want to hear Notre Dame or Phantom but I also don't want to be screamed at by Ted when I forget to lunge for the volume controls.

 

[Karen-W]

I like how skaters keep digging for deeper cuts from Phantom. I believe that's the first time we got the bit about the monkey music box going up for auction.

And yet they're giving us Music of the Night also... at least his shirt isn't as sad as Andy Deng's shirt from 2 nights ago, lol.

 

[airgelaal]

Next warmup group is POTO 2. Teehee.

Pedersen/Chen. I remember

 

[Wyliefan]

She reminds me of someone ... Carey Mulligan, I think?

Well, I've seen better Phantoms, but they seemed to be having a lot of.fun out there, so good for them!

 

[airgelaal]

On the other hand, this is the last time we see these dances
P.S. Yes, I remember about the Swiss

[Karen-W]

Lots of movement in that 1st group - only the Czechs remain in the same spot from the RD.

 

[Wyliefan]

You know "baby Brits" has gone mainstream when Ted uses it!

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Ted is very confused about ice dance Olympic medalists tonight.

 

[Karen-W]

Lol. Ted's just upgraded Tanith to Oly Champ. And given her a 3rd Olympic experience.
