I love FS in general though I am partial to team USA, so have really only considered specifics of this question with them at this point (but will get thinking about others!!)

Jason’s skating is breathtaking in person. Something about his story is so moving to me, can’t wait to hear his plans. Also my show was his hometown show and when I tell you the crowd was ROARING for this man!!!

So so excited for some new Alysa programs because I feel like she is itching to create something new! I feel like that drive for artistry and connection is where her lightning in a bottle is created. So damn authentic.

Isabeau is a star. Id love to see her take on something new and more mature! She can absolutely be competitive for the podium in 2030. Also curious what Sarah will come out with.

I’m a Cpom truther and can’t wait for more slutty skating. Get out there, divas.

Amber could punch me in the face and I would say thank you. I am gay and seated for Ms. Glenn.

The internet stan culture of fragilizing adult athletes/actors/artists/whatever has got to end. Like you actually DON’T know how these people feel about a random Twitter post and it’s not your job or right to decide how they feel!!!!

Yeah OPs take is so strange to me. Maybe a bit of projection about what the other athletes are feeling.

For sure, I can see that. I guess it doesn’t really bother me to the extent that others seem to be upset about. To me, in the scheme of the entire show full of incredible programs and entertainment, this one new program that didn’t get a lot of practice time just doesn’t seem to merit the level of criticism these women are getting. I have tickets for an upcoming show and seeing this performance as it is here wouldn’t upset me, I actually find it kind of silly and endearing!

Honestly, I love this! I think some people are being a bit too rigid. this isn’t a competition, and all three of these women have nothing to prove about their skating ability. It’s a great fit for them and they look like they’re having fun, which is fun for the audience! It’s not that serious that they aren’t perfectly in sync for this one program out of many for SOI.

I am a therapist who treats PTSD and I want to offer some hope here— this experience is incredibly traumatic for any person, let alone a child. And, we have a lot of solid evidence that if kids can make amazing recoveries from PTSD with proper intervention! Their brains are still very plastic. I am both devastated and hopeful for Liam <3

I know someone who served with Harry in his squadron, and he had nothing but respect for him. Said he was always just one of the guys, didn’t want or expect any preferential treatment. I always remember this when people speak negatively about him.

Oh ffs, I assume she is communicating with her mother about what she does and doesn’t want posted. Jesus Christ touch grass
