  1. Could somebody be so kind as to give me the Cliffs Notes version on why Joseph is so popular?
  2. Did they forget to run the psych evaluations this season? Jesucristo.
  3. It's also great to see that after being screwed over by the Russian Skating Federation so many times, Anastasiia Gubanova was able to obtain Georgian citizenship and start skating under that flag. Unfortunately, she continues to get low-balled and not get the marks she deserves. Her PCS at Finlandia were downright CRIMINAL. The Dutch judge rightfully had her third. I don't know what the other judges were watching. She has better presentation and interpretation than any other skater in the world today, in my opinion. Injustices like this are so incredibly depressing.
  4. The only record Aliona has left in the senior division is for the SP TSS. And I have no doubt Valieva will topple that soon, unfortunately. I'm a bit miffed that Valieva's PCS from the short at last weekend's Skate Canada was higher than the PCS Kostornaia got for that world-record short from the 2019 Grand Prix Final. (Re-looking at the protocols, at that very event Zagitova had higher PCS than Aliona!) Hard disagree from me. On both! Sweet Jesus on a cross.
  5. Those are good choices! I think there are probably dozens of pieces that would be a better fit for her than the repetitious and droning Bolero. I like Bolero itself, but there are few skaters who can effectively do it justice.
  6. skatingscores.com is the most amazing resource! You can re-score any program and it is SO MUCH FUN! Personally, I think Valieva is a very good skater, but she is definitely being overscored on PCS. I had her PCS for the LP a full 5 points lower than the judges did. OTOH, my marks for the LP TSS of Kostornaia (who is my favorite current skater) was only about a tenth less than what the judges actually gave her! Amazing! LOL I also absolutely agree that the PCS are not scored accordingly and with enough differentiation. I make sure to do that when I score programs. I feel Valieva's Bolero deserves higher marks for Transitions and Composition than for Performance or Interpretation. But she is scoring in the 9s across the board and I just do not agree with that. At least not for her Bolero. I have no idea why they kept that LP from last year for her. Maybe because it worked for Alina Zagitova and they're superstitious? (Zagitova kept her junior LP for her senior debut season and won the OGM.) To me, it takes a specific kind of skater to pull off Bolero, and Valieva is not it. Something lighter and lyrical would be much more complimentary to her strengths. I also really dislike Aliona's music this season. I must have re-watched her short program she had for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons 5 or 6 times yesterday--the Max Richter. That music was just MAGIC. I do not like the Billie Eilish Forever selections. And the short program music is downright ghastly for her IMO. I think she has some of the best skating skills in the sport, and she deserves better programs to showcase them.
  7. Really? That seems like a terrifying condition to never be able to remember anybody. Have you ever gone to a doctor about it?
  8. I hope you were quoting me in agreement because I hope that's what my post implied 😄. ITA 100%.
  9. Despite the significance to the public at large, the Olympics are still the pinnacle for figure skaters and has more importance to them than any other competition. Just because they may "not be what they used to be", or "no longer Must-See TV" and his discipline has "NEVER as popular as women's skating" has nothing to do with how much it means to the athletes. Their nerves will react accordingly, as we saw with him in Pyeongyang. I imagine he is under amount an immense amount of pressure--not just regarding the vultures in the media, but from his own incredibly high standards and expectations. He has accomplished everything else in his sport--the Olympic Gold medal is all he has missing. And despite most fans not thinking any less of skaters who don't win the Olympics, it is still something that matters very much to the skaters themselves.
  10. She definitely resembles Caryn physically!
  11. Oh my God, Julie is batshit crazy. Like one of the hosts was saying on one of the post-episodes on RHAP, this would never fly if Julie was a believer of any other religion.
  12. I'm a man of my word and tuned in! (I hadn't watched an episode since like the second or third week.) Kyland getting the boot was even sweeter than I anticipated! But that was scary. He is so delusional that I almost didn't think he would accept defeat and voluntarily leave. I feel so bad for Tiffany bc not all of the CO was on equal terms. She had to sacrifice her game in a way X and Ky never did, and that's not right. I don't care what anyone says.
  13. Julie has really flown off the handle. I knew she had gotten really bad with the Godbothering, but this might be even worse than I imagined. Fix it, Jesus.
  14. If Ky gets cut, I might have to actually tune in for the first time in months LOL
