Has Mishin ever looked surprised or caught of guard?
I only caught the last half hour on NBC with Johnny, Tara and Tanith (no Terry or Tracey this week). Except for Johnny I suppose having your first name starting with T is a requirement to be on the team, lol. Did they mention why they were only showing the SPs? I am kind of surprised they went on with the broadcast - but I guess they had nothing else to fill the two hours? ...
One of the silver linings to the lack of free skates and FD is that NBC showed the SP from one pair (V/T) and one SD (H/D).

Tara is so witty (not) - Shoma the Showman - will it stick? Still he was the best of out the bunch even though his music sounds like something you hear shopping at Uniqlo. He does sell the program.
Funny how they hated Kovtun's performance but I think the B Eurosport guys think it suits him. I'm kind of torn, I don't like the song, but I don't hate the program.
I would just like to say how incredibly happy I am to hear that Tanith was doing commentary for NBC. It's about time!
Shomo's hair
Shomo's music
Shomo's skating
Shomo is love!!!
I kind of despair for the audience appeal of ladies' figure skating going forward, if the men are going to skate like that.

I can be wrong, but hasn't she worked for NBC for a couple of years?

The appeal of Men's Skating has risen quite a bit in Japan. I don't know the hard numbers, but just by looking at the attendance, it's about the same as the ladies. What about in other places like North America and Europe?
In the U.S. interest in figure skating has all but disappeared. Traditionally, OK the men can do bigger jumps, but the ladies are graceful and give entertaining performances. To me, it seems like the men are more graceful and give far more entertaining performances these days than the ladies.
Yes, Tanith has been working for NBC for quite a few years now.
As an aside, a lot of her NBC work has not been skating commentary or anything related to skating at all.
More like feature reporting -- and IIRC, even some hosting-type digital stuff for NBC. Most recently, she has been doing a lot of pre-Rio 2016 feature-y stuff for NBC.
