Patrick Chan

Patrick Chan from Canada!!!

THE PRESSURE is on for the HOMETOWN representative with the old man coach who is now dead.

Lovely costume here, very subdued and elegant. Classy music choice.

Almost nailed the triple axle with a little step out. Keep it up, pal! EXCELLENT COMBO -- perfection. Don't let your old man coach down now! Wonderful jump completion. Apparently he excels at footwork sections by going the opposite way most go. and . . .high kick!

He is a pleasure to watch, lots of speed and grace at the same time.

Wow he got into a really tight ball on that spin! best ball spin of the night (so far). Anna and I have noted that he is actually aware of the music and stays on the beat unlike some other skaters.

wow, almost hit the wall . . .

And he did it!!!!

"Not his best" and a little cross eyed?

Apparently there "may" be a deduction on the music.

SCORE: 81.12 that's a DISAPPOINTMENT. Lame.

Samuel Contesti

Samuel Contesti the Italian!!

IT's OVERALL TIME!!

"This is going to be so dirty" -A.W.

That patch on his heiny is so cuuuute. "It was tight" but he did it!

Phew! He held on to that triple axle by dear life!

OUCH! That was QUITE a spill. "He just gave that one away." But the audience is rallying with some clapping to the beat. Guns?!?! Time for a banjo solo! "Requisite gold chain around his neck."-A.W.

Time to SPINNNNNNN.

Jaunty pointing and spinning! He's selling it at least! "We need to bring him down to Branson." -A.W.

and . . .. shimmy!

J.B. says "Where are the Italian designers and a be jewel it. I have no idea on the choice of music----"

Takahito Kozuka

Takahito Kozuka

"I hate to think what Joyce is going to say about his costume. It looks like the boys version of the Mary Kate and Ashley Olson line" _A.W.

Hendrix!! Nice choice!

Wow those triple combos were excellent.

"He's so little!" -A.W.

I like how his pants looks like faded jeans. Channeling the 1960s -- Japanese style. He's killing these jumps! What a darling little high kicking piece of of sugar candy.

He did excellent but didn't really "Grab" us like some others did. A lovely little elf.

The Japanese are "throwing it down." Apparently he "knows how to skate" and is "20 years old."

"His coach looks like a stoned turtle (who is also dapper)" -A.W.

SCORE: 79.59

Brian Joubert

Brian Joubert takes the ice from far away France. Apparently there is a decline of the "quad" -- who knew?

Starting off with an impressive hip thrust!

"He doesn't waste any time being as gay as possible" - A.W.

Whoopsie! First jump a little faulty.

"This music is sooo Eurotrash"

Woah! Another fall. :( That was a doozy. Apparently he's never been able to skate a "clean competition" but if he wants to be "dirty" who's to hold it against him? ;)

Some nice vogueing action. Apparently his body language is showing that he has given up. But let's not give up on Joubert quite yet! "He just doesn't care anymore" says A.W. But did he just break out a running man move? Even at his lowest point his running man was still energetic.

"Disastrous" and "painful to watch"

Yikes.

SCORE: 68 points :(

First glimpse of Johnny Weir

Pink ribbons!

SEXY TIME: Part III Stephane Lambiel

To no ones surprise, the next SEXY TIME update belongs to the reigning queen of the ice, STEPHANE LAMBIEL

Enjoy . . .

Nobunari Oda

Nobunari Oda from Japan. It's tough to follow the ideal of masculine beauty, but Nobunari is going to try. He is related to a warlord, so that's a bonus. He seems like a spritly little thing. "His strength is in his jumping" - and he creams the triple axle. He jumps so high like a little cricket!

"THIS IS THE OLYMPICS" - A.W. (then something about "no mediocre shit")

Soundtrack gets a 10 out of 10.

Once again we have a classic back outfit with silver sparkles. I wonder who designs their outfits? Somewhat uncomfortable how arrows point to his butt and crotch region.

He seems very young -- I predict big things for him in the Olympics four years from now.

SCORE: 84.45 ("I don't think I agree with that." - A.W.)

Update: J.B. says "Oda-needs ballet classes and new choreographer to be in same league with top 5---costume 7.0" Anna replies "Well said."
