Did she say that she was going to hang out with friends on the weed farm because she was eliminated? Why can’t someone go hang out with friends after finishing with doing something else? And even if she did go there because she was feeling down, what’s so wrong with hanging out with friends after being rejected by a…

The only contestants worse than those reiterating their readiness for marriage are those who also just know which fellow contestants aren’t ready. Like, “There’s no way that 22-year-old could possibly be ready, she’s not worldly and experienced like me, the savviest 25-year-old alive.”

ugh seriously he’s PAINFULLY boring.

Its’s ok when you ask someone where they’re from. It’s not ok when you follow up with “no, but where are you from........”

Genuinely thought that was Zac Efron dressing up badly as George Michael.

I hate Harmony Korine’s movies, but I love Zac Effron in that... whatever it is. He makes it look good.

Yeah, I’m with you on Virtue and Moir. GOAT in my opinion. My issue about the Rippon article was that people there were bitching about his placement, and they didn’t understand the judging system, etc. But ice dancing is definitely a tougher nut to crack. Even Canadian commentators (I think at the Grand Prix final?…

OMG Yes. She was the epitome of composure and grace. I kept thinking it was like watching an intense ballet on ice.

I really like how they have a technical panel and they judge every single element with degree of difficulty and grade of execution. Olympic watchers see a program with no falls and are clueless about cheated landings and flutzes and such. I don’t know that casual viewers are ever going to understand the sport when…

Johnny and Tara mentioned it on NBC, too, re: Alina.

They are the ultimate Canadian “Will they/won’t they?” sports couple! They’ve been skating together since ages 7 and 9 (20+ years!) and everyone has been asking if they’re involved for foreeeeever. But yes, the chemistry is definitely there.

That’s the part that gave me heartburn: the components score similarity between Rippon and Kolyada. The world *did not* need another half-baked rock and roll program from a male skater, whereas Adam’s program felt really vibrant, fresh, and authentic.

It’s like they think we’re still in 2002. The new judging system has been in place for 14 years and is way more exacting. Skating is more than just jumps. They don’t realize that skating skills, speed, quality of edge, etc. are also being judged. Plus, of course the quad. Rippon’s a great skater but he was objectively…

Semantics but she didn’t win bronze, she came in third but won gold because it’s a team event and her third was enough to clinch gold for Canada.

She didn’t win the bronze. She placed third in her portion of the event.
