Impromptu

I don't know if they had any different reaction privately, but publicly they didn't have anything negative to say:

Former UK Ice Dancer, I think he is also one of the pros on Dancing on Ice. Here are some photos from the commentating stream, where he was doing the PBP and also stretching: https://www.instagram.com/p/CM4DzeNLGn_/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7WSLJrgBT/

Interesting ideas. I was only going back ten years, because that's been the decade that Brown has competed in. Robin Cousins and Kurt Browning are in my top five male skaters of all time (Cousins' "Satan Takes a Holiday" routine I still remember vividly and it's been almost 40 years since I saw it live at World Pros). I could see Kurt skating to "Sinnerman," but I'm not 100% certain I'd pick Robin... Toller Cranston, or Gary Beacom... oh, or David Liu. Now, when it comes to "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue," I'd absolutely have Robin Cousins or Kurt Browning skate that program - and I could imagine both of them doing a better job with it than Jason at this point (not that he does a bad job with it, but I don't think he's competed it enough yet for it to really gel, and honestly, I'm not loving the programs that David Wilson has given him - they don't instantly fit Jason as well as Rohene's programs do).

Actually, he's extremely consistent - he's never finished worst than 9th place in any (national or international) competition (going back to 2009), including medaling at 4 continents twice, winning 7 Senior Grand prix medals, 9 medals (including 5 Gold medals) at other senior international events, and one of the reasons for that is that he normally lands his jumps, lands them cleanly and with high grades of execution. He has some of the purest technique out there, and the most difficult non-jump content there is. There is a reason why you'll hear the commentating crew always refer to him as a "skater's skater" - it's because other skaters understand just how technically difficult what he does is. I look at his current short program and I can only think of three other skaters from the past decade who could pull that off (Hanyu, Patrick Chan, or Daisuke Takahashi). Now, you could say that he's not consistently landing a quad jump, and that would be true. But he's pretty consistent on everything else.

What is awesome about Bryan V is how he always seems to nerd out over the challenge, if its not something in his skill set, it always seems to be something he's interested in trying to do, and he's great at the talking head section explaining what about the challenge is specifically challenging. He reminds of those Amazing Race racers who no matter where the race sends them, are, "Awesome! Serbia! I've always wanted to go there! Oooh! Nova Scotia! I've can't wait to see it! Far out! Viet Nam! It's been a dream of mine to travel there."

I didn't love any of the collections, but if I were picking someone to be out, it would definitely be Sergio... yes, the final dress was pretty, but google "grey ombre gown" and you'll find dozens of similar dresses, many of them prom gowns. Nothing new there.

Ugh, Garo, what a smug jerk. Shoving a curvy girl into a corset (which she won't even be able to get into or out of herself!) is not "celebrating her shape." It's reshaping it to your needs.

No, it's not on Wikipedia. Ice-dance.com keeps links to their older events coverage. Here; https://www.ice-dance.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/2014USNationalsProfiles-Novice.pdf (Scroll to page 2)

Sergei and Marina never coached Carreira and Ponomarenko -they've always been with Sphilband. They did coach Anthony and his former partner, Sarah Feng (who is now a pairs skater and is competing at Junior Worlds this week).

180 cm (5'11") might be a magic number: Previous Olympic Gold Medalists... Alexei Urmanov (5'11"), Robin Cousins (6'), Brian Boitano (5'11"), Ilia Kulik (5'11"), Evgeni Plushenko (5'11").

The Bee's voice is the only one that sounded really familiar - my guess would be Roberta Flack.

I just looked up his bio, and discovered he is from the same town I am from. Parkersburg WV... and we had grasshoppers there. (And also, aside, the horrible 17 year ciccadas, which could be inspire a whole line of creature make-ups).

But Stone Cold Steve Austin isn't dead. No, but that wouldn't be an obstacle for a demon to take the form of Stone Cold Steve Austin and tell Eleanor that he was the real Stone Cold Steve Austin who had just died.

What probably happened is that PR sent copies of all the patterns to Dixie, but not the final designs (you'll notice there wasn't a Dixie person there judging the runway). Dixie looked at the patterns, and picked Claire's and possibly picked Brandon as their second favorite. So when it came to the runway show, the judges had to pick Claire and figure out some way to justify it, but since they were also judging the final clothing, they didn't need to have Brandon in the top 3, they could pick their other two favorite actual looks. When Claire was disqualified, Dixie could say, ok, we still need a pattern, so we'll take our alternate print, Brandon's. At that point, they could either go back and re-shoot the top 3 judging and include Brandon as part of the top 3/or 4 - and by doing so, lose all their precious drama - or just announce that there was no "winner" but that Dixie would use Brandon's pattern. Dixie probably decided later to give Brandon the cash, but that may have been a decision that happened long after the episode was edited, so the announcement wasn't part of the final cut.

While we know that due to the reboots have taken place over a couple hundred years, that doesn't mean that that same amount of time has passed for those still alive on Earth, because time could run differently in the "/not Good Place." Even 300 years of "/not Good Place" time could be the equivalent of five minutes of alive time. Of course it could also be equal time... but it doesn't have to be. (Which gives the show's writer's all kinds of options for later seasons).
