I am watching from the French CBC since I am already biased for LALA, might as well listen to similar commentators

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Ok, now I'm hyped. Great intro music.

First up Dieck & Smart with Blondie ...and the blue catsuit.

 

[yelyoh]

Whoa OLivia!! Call the fire Dept.

We can trade commentary nuggets then...

Smart's bright blue bodysuit woke me right up.

 

[4everchan]

Glad i am not paying for this choppy stream.

 

[labgoat]

Oona & Gage need to make their costumes more over the top for the 80s

 

[Lamente Ariane]

This is seriously such a stacked dance event

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Looks like reused costumes from their hip hop/blues season

 

[CellarDweller]

There is a part of me that is secretly hoping to hear some freestyle in the dance.

After all, it's 80s, it's got a great beat, and you can dance to it.

Maybe some Shannon ("Let the Music Play"), Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam ("Can You Feel The Beat") or Exposé ("Come Go With Me")

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Jason obviously with the best costume here!

 

[labgoat]

Smart's bright blue bodysuit woke me right up.

Me too and I needed it after yesterday's night shift - it was crazy busy

 

[labgoat]

Love Korean lady's costume. Yummmmm

Hannah is such a performer.

 

[Brauliomx]

No one can be a better Blondie than Olivia

 

[dorispulaski]

And we start with homage to 1980's phones!

I have not seen this program before from Olivia and Tim. I know it's ice dance 80s and anything goes, but I cannot with the techno remix and the number sounds and the pretend dialing.

What is wrong with the original beat for Blondie?

 

[Skatingcat]

I like the blondie mix of call me.

Can anyone tell me what is the dance pattern and how I can look for it?

 

[Carol1]

If I looked 10 percent as good as Olivia in that outfit, I would never take it off. I don't think it would be physically possible for me to take it off once I got it on, anyway.

It would make a splash at my grocery store's senior hour.
