And now we have judges! Johnny Weir, who is, well, let’s just say “flamboyant”. I know him best from The Soup. There’s Laurieann Gibson, “choreographer to the superstars”. She makes a lot of serious faces. Finally, there’s Dick Button, who has a hilarious name and is old and cranky. He’s actually very significant in the history of figure skating. I assume people will make fun of him, though. And just to confuse things, each pair gets two scores, one for technical merit, and one for artistic impression.
Tanith explains the rules and gives is a list of the required moves – this week it’s the “One Foot Assisted Glide” and “The Pair Spin”. Can they get to the skating now? Actually, it looks like they totally can!
