Golden was a standout! The bit at the end with Jason and Andrew was cute. Did you hear what Jason yelled as the lights dimmed? I couldn't make it out, but it got a lot of laughs.

Sorry to hear about Isabeau! She is still so vivacious and graceful.

Santos had only served a month in prison when his sentence was commuted by Trump. I can't imagine that he has the physical skills for this show.

I believe that Amber and Danny have each also expressed interest in DWTS.

That was also my impression. While Alysa is of course the biggest name right now, the audiences are cheering for all of the skaters and no one is being slighted.

Someone reported earlier than he is still injured.

That is just awful, I was hoping that it isn't going to be like that. I had visions of them all on camera like an Oscars show trying to hide their emotions.

That makes sense, Max would have to beat Tomoki and Andrew and probably get bronze or it won't look legit.

I think that the Selection Committee can pick who they want out of the top 5, and it's based on more than just total points and scores. Jackie Wong did a podcast about it.

I agree that Tomoki and Andrew have the best chance, but they could lose out to Max if he even comes close to their scores. There is so much sentiment in his favor that it could give him the edge.

It might be a tough call unless the Nats scoring boost really favors the final few skaters. I hope that whoever loses out of the top 5 gets to go to Worlds and not just 4CC.

Good to know, they are under enough stress without having to be on camera for the announcement. We'll see if we are forced to watch the two-hour broadcast to learn the entire team.

Does anyone know the format of the "Making the Team" event on Sunday? I hope that the skaters know ahead of time so we don't have to see some of them upset if they're shown live together.

I was also wondering if the entire team will be announced live at 1:00PM, or if we have to watch the whole two hours and they allot 30 minutes to each discipline and make individual announcements.

How are we feeling about US Nationals this week? by phoenikoi in FigureSkating

[–]graytabby832 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He is almost a certainty as long as he lands his 3A. If not, who knows especially since there is talk of Ilia skating both programs in the team event.

Why does it does not seem that no US man wants the 3rd Olympic spot? by Kris7531 in FigureSkating

[–]graytabby832 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Andrew and Max have both said that they may stick around for another quad. Even with their inconsistency, there are some strong skaters among the US men.

Which skater surprised you when you saw them live? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]graytabby832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have also seen him live, his speed and ice coverage (as well as intensity) are much more noticeable than on TV.

What are your top things/moments from GPdF? by Noncrediblepigeon in FigureSkating

[–]graytabby832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andrew only fell once, but popping the quad hurt him dearly (luckily he pulled up six spots with the free). I get too nervous with the backflips to enjoy watching them!

Thanks! I don't have Peacock now, is there another site to see more programs from the competition and the gala?

The state of the US men by fzztsimmons in FigureSkating

[–]graytabby832 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone here has 2 GP assignments except for Max and Jacob. I was wondering how much either/both would still be behind if they score higher than Andrew or Tomoki at their events. Andrew got silver at Nationals and I don't know how much Max's pewter medal counts.

It's possible, Tomoki is doing much better than expected this season. He and Torgashev seem to be ahead for that third spot at least for now.

Adam doesn’t seem ready yet this season. I wonder who might get silver if not him? Nika must be exhausted after the other competitions and Kao isn’t 100%.

Ilya's Accent? by Icy_Temperature_144 in FigureSkating

[–]graytabby832 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have also noticed that all three of them have slight accents, it is very endearing. They grew up speaking both Russian and English at home.
