I don't know how I feel about that skater giving up her Japanese citizenship to pursue her dream of skating.

She looked like she was balancing for dear life on that guy's leg for the finale of the program.

From the face she made when she saw her score, she looked like she expected to top Xhen and Zhao.

OMG- they are skating to the music of REQUIEM FOR A DREAM!

EXCUSE ME, I now have lost respect for the judges. How did they score 65? Besides ruining a jump, I saw that guy take little stumbles and missteps!

yeah I don't understand why that score was so high

The scoring tonight is a glaring reminder of how the change in the scoring methodology has done little to improve figure skating's credibility. This is a total sham. The top Russians belong nowhere near the top Chinese, and no one is getting clobbered for their falls or other breaks.

Her clown eyebrows are a mess!

But they're skating to "Send in the Clowns"!

We are still on moguls! I am glad the Canadian beat the guy who left for Australia who sells the malicious software. The Canadian's story was heartwarming.

"But they're skating to "Send in the Clowns"

??????"

I thought that was EXCELLENT!

They were wonderful. I thought they were from Germany (yet they had the Russian flag next to their names).

[Jane2]

Dottie, I think they're showing the whole thing over again after the news. You wouldn't have to wait too long to see the first skaters...or you could dvr it.

[uncageg]

Posted: 2/14/10 at 11:00pm

Jane, you are right. They show everything again after the news.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 2/14/10 at 11:01pm

Dottie, they ARE from Germany.

This is the only time The Star-Spangled Banner doesn't bother me!

Thanks, Miss P. Jane2, thanks for the info, I'll stay up and watch.

Why on earth were they just playing that Melissa Etheridge song? "I wanna stay here in this moment. Can I quietly slip into you?" huh?

Did you guys hear that Peggy Fleming was in a car accident in Vancouver? She's okay, but they said on the news she was treated for minor injuries.

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/14/10 at 11:20pm

Yeah, I saw her in the stands sitting in front of the Bidens, chatting away at the beginning of the show. She's fine. She was only brought to the hospital as a precaution.

rant - her lipstick NEVER is on right. Never. I'm going back to the beginning of her career as a commentator. rant over.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 2/14/10 at 11:25pm

That's hilarious, Jane! I have never even noticed her lipstick, but now I'm sure I won't hear a thing she says because I'll be studying at her lips!

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/14/10 at 11:28pm

That's what I do, stare at her lips. Sometimes it's worse than others, but if you look at the corners of her mouth, it's always smeared around there. LOL!

I just want to add that I do not agree with some of the judge's scoring. The couples in first and second place, yes. But 3rd and 4th, no.

You don't think the skating judges are anything but above board, do you?

[Jane2]

they're crooked and they suck.
