I have updated Karina and Joe's fan thread. I apologize for not doing it sooner.

I edited the original post to include links to the videos I could find of their performances from last season. This includes SD and FD practices and performances from Lake Placid and the 2017 US nationals.

I'll repost the US Nationals links here:

SD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc7_ag4nXX8
FD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOdf7J0fz_k


I haven't come across any information about Manta/Johnson's plans or programs for the upcoming season. But here's a cute photo from Joe's instagram of Karina and Joe flanked by the two C/Bs, American and British. So at least we know they're on the ice and looking fit.

Here is a link to Karina and Joe's SD at nationals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6adlJhOHdE.

M/J's free dance was the only one NBC did not show. :angry2: Such a shame viewers didn't get to see it. Karina expressed her disappointment in a tweet: https://twitter.com/KarinaMantras/status/950442545556856832.

I haven't been able to find video of the FD. AFAIK, it can only be seen on Icenetwork's video of the entire FD competition. Those who subscribe can find it there.

On a happier note, it seems Karina and Joe had a blast a nationals. They're both fun to follow on social media. Love Joe's pic of this unusual gift a fan threw on the ice for them. Must have come from someone who followed Joe's quest to find a cheap pizza costume.

I enjoyed seeing their dances in person. They have a lot of personality! I also appreciate Joe's outspokeness on Twitter regarding catty comments.

Congrats to Karina and Joseph on a superb skate last night. I’ve heard a lot about this couple but have never watched them skate until last night. It was certainly a sweet dream watching them. So different and unique, they really stood out from the rest. I think the standing O is an indication of what the audience thought of it.

It’s great to see something different at a time when so many couples just do the same thing over and over. Wishing them all the best for the future.

I agree...I can't wait to see what they do next....they have the exciting, edgy factor that James and Cipres started bringing in 2016....very much, I think these two can be major influencers in the theater and grit of the domain

So do I. This is a case where I wish they competed for a different country than the US so we could see more of them!

Youtube took their iconic fd down again, but there is still this copy where an amateur commentator talks so much, youtube missed it. You can still hear the music though. :love:

I think I lasted about 12 seconds into watching this before I stated screaming SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP at the screen.

Let the wonderful skating speak for itself.

Ah, M/J, you will be much missed. But I do hope you make a ton of $$$ and new fans with Cirque.
