Smuckers Skating Spectacular

[sabinfire]

Another FS replay... :furious:

 

[sabinfire]

We're an hour into the coverage... how many EX routines have we seen so far? 3 or 4? Not sure that minute of Nathan hurting himself counts.

This coverage is abysmal -- it's like NBC is going out of its way to show as few skaters' show programs as possible. In years past, they usually managed to show junior champs and top 3-4 in seniors in all four disciplines.

So far in an hour we've had: Wagner, H/D, Nagasu, S/K, Aaron. I imagine the next hour will consist of two more replays plus Gold, Edmunds, S/S, C/B, K/O and Rippon. Weak sauce.

Beyoncé = Bee-yon-swah in Johhny speak

Tara saying that C/B should make their Beyonce EX into a FD...

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

This C/B ex is pretty fierce!

Geez... more replays, and they just spent a few minutes talking about the furniture in the Wayfair Lounge.

These sappy drama skates will be the death of me.

I keep checking in with X-Games.

So, based on what I'm seeing, I take it the Nationals gala was pretty boring this year.

They are jumpamatroning Nathan's jump :hopelessness:

I think promoting coverage of home Worlds in Boston could be the reason for replaying entire free programs of the winners??

Recycling the Tara/Johnny fluff pieces from the NBC website is the only thing that is really bugging me as an indefensible waste of air time.

(Wayfair is a sponsor, so the promotion of Wayfair is understandable to me. At least it was promotion of philanthropic efforts by Wayfair.)

No wonder were the only ones commenting here.

And of course they replayed Chen's injury.

At least this Shibsibs' Clair De Lune is gorgeous. Though Tara sounded disappointed they weren't reprising Fix You.

I hope you're planning on buying some Wayfair products!

Nope but I will definitely have a JIF peanut butter and Smuckers jam sandwich for dinner.

 

[sabinfire]

I can't remember the last time I saw such a dull, uninspired gala. But I'm sure NBC is partially to blame.

Any chance I could persuade you to upload those few seconds of bumper video of Max goofing around and pretending to box with the camera?

Would love for karne to see it.

I usually try not to be greedy, but being that so few of us are in this thread, I will be so bold as to make a request.

If you are so inclined, thank you .

(And thx for the Nathan vids.)

Do you remember approximately where this happened during the broadcast?

ZOMFG!!!! Johhny is wearing something I can't begin to describe. Look away I can't!

My hubby wants to know why Johnny is wearing grandma's house dress (seriously, she had one in a very similar pattern to Johnny's outfit)
