THEY'RE sure of themselves - that's all they have to say, if even that. To whom do they need to justify themselves? Considering half the planet believes they're in love and should be together forever, did they really think critics would shift focus and say what are you doing, you're too young? If nothing else, they have the G&G example ahead of them, and that worked out fine, marriage, baby and two Olympics-wise, under much more difficult circumstances, logistically, than Tessa and Scott. And G&G are famous.<br /><br />What do they care what people say? They are very driven, very in-love, and if you pay attention, you can hear how extremely important it is to both of them to nurture their bond outside the rink. Golfing (silly, but that's part of it). A family. When you've loved as long as they have, the ages they put these plans in motion isn't too young. And, it makes sense. They come from young families. They want, perhaps, to do two Olympics. Their off-ice life and protecting what they have so it thrives after eligible skating is also important. Since 2006 they have aimed towards one goal - the 2010 Olympics. They knew they were getting married - that wasn't a question. Do they defer their family and spend eight straight years pursuing the Olympics? Wouldn't it be ideal if they could win in Vancouver and have a baby right afterwards? Even if it meant skipping 2011-2012, that sets them up perfectly for Sochi. Scott used to talk about how they didn't want to wait their "turn" - their goal was gold in Vancouver and they both had goals after that.<br /><br />This was what he meant. How much easier to carry through with your plans when you've won the gold medal. Things have worked out well for them - Tessa's healthy, they're skating well, they still want it, but that wasn't a guarantee when all of this was in the planning stages. The part where they win gold in 2010, not 2014, made everything happier and easier, baby-wise (not that I think they'd have postponed if they didn't win gold).<br /><br />So, the timing was actually perfect, if you're them. Talk about having it all. And it's not difficult to understand I don't think. But I'm probably wrong, as THEY think people are too stupid to get it.oycanadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056686007756844095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-55450595631040037962012-02-05T17:19:19.220-08:002012-02-05T17:19:19.220-08:00Haha - that would be hilarious.

You're probably not the only one pissed, but they've certainly sold this image to the figure skaters. Even Johnny Weir gets odd about it. A lot of figure skaters are like that about the judges - the way they talk the judges would have to be about 110 - pre-rock'n'roll, pre-1970's. They know it's not true of their coaches and choreographers, why they think middle-aged and up means Mozart or lite rock, beats me.oycanadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056686007756844095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-68926530970076268062012-02-04T15:43:03.537-08:002012-02-04T15:43:03.537-08:00K, I just saw it, and apart from realising I'd...K, I just saw it, and apart from realising I'd never seen it again, GOD, it was really really obvious.

They've gotten away with their game in large part because a lot of fans have been very considerate. It's not worth it to a lot of fans to share publicly stuff they know, heard or have seen. If they don't know or haven't heard, they still may notice things and suspect things and still - they keep their mouths shut - in public anyway. And what do they get in return? A more-clever-than-thou attitude from SC and the skaters, patronizing references to fans by the figure skaters (that meaningful talk about "really dedicated fans")and the Fed, and finding themselves set up and played for fools. Or extreme stage craft - as if people can't see that it's stage craft. The sham gives itself all the credit and gives outsiders - none. The reality is the sham ain't that clever - it's a debacle. It's not blown open more a LOT thanks to fans. It's not because the skaters and SC are so freaking smart.<br /><br />Sometimes I wonder if the audience was middle-aged and-up men and a smattering of geek-chic type younger guys if the audience would be treated with more respect. A lot of the references to fans have that distasteful "frau" undertone. You know - women. Fans are women. Unimportant women. I hear that when I hear "our audience." When Bryce Davison mentions that The Way We Were was pitched towards their audience's generation. When Scott says their music choices for galas are restricted because of "our audience." It's all code for "unimportant, simple-minded women." And nobody panders to that idea more than Debbi Wilkes. Every syllable out of her mouth reveals her opinion of the unimportant women that they consider the figure skating publi.oycanadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056686007756844095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-10645249964549409982012-02-04T14:48:36.275-08:002012-02-04T14:48:36.275-08:00Maybe they think it's karma or fate that they&...Maybe they think it's karma or fate that they're still secret. After all, Tessa's body had been through a lot and Olympic competition is no picnic on the nervous system. For all their "ideal' planning, there was no guarantee their bodies would cooperate and they'd be pregnant in that window just as the season ended and in time to compete at Worlds the following season. Delay the timing a bit and they either lie that her surgery is taking her out of the whole season, or they come clean. I think at one point they definitely realized they might come clean, but when the timing worked out, and Tessa's body cooperated visually, they went ahead with another round of sham. Which, IMO, is sad. <br /><br />I think Scott's "not YET"'s weren't just rebellion, but anticipation. Because once the new season started and it looked like they'd get away with it, he stopped. And hasn't uttered an "I'm trying" "I wish" or "not yet" since, and Tessa won't even be seen next to him walking in a corridor if someone's camera is running - so silly - as if separating by five feet establish they're not a couple. Ohh, we're on the ice together so much, even in hallways we try to pursue separate paths!!! Come on Tessa. <br /><br />How did a girl who smiled and talked about liking to hold hands with Scott in Paris, who said "maybe" and smiled more when Scott said "progress" - become a girl with a neurotic addiction to lying and hiding. Shins? I believe it's possible she did have shin surgery because I know she continued to have pain during the Olympic year, most specifically when they'd compete the od (Faruccas). She'd have intensive physio. But if she did have surgery, it wasn't as extreme as the first and her turnaround was a lot faster. That wasn't the reason she was off ice, but it was a handy excuse to cover other things. She seems happier when she's more open, she's clever and she's funny, and I think people naturally respect her and use good taste when anything in the relationship realm comes up. It's not as if she'd be given the third degree about why did you and Scott do this so early, how will it work, blah blah.<br /><br />As bad as fans can be, I think they need to be given more credit. I also think Tessa and Scott shouldn't be compared to Salle & Pelletier because their relationship and personalities are completely different. What might impact a Salle & Pelletier won't impact a Scott and Tessa. So many operating premises were screwed up when this plan was cooked up.oycanadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056686007756844095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-1829504677548045002012-02-04T14:48:19.649-08:002012-02-04T14:48:19.649-08:00There was a discussion in a different blog thread ...There was a discussion in a different blog thread here about how there was a time Scott and Tessa appeared to be overtly laying groundwork for a reveal even while shamming, and then it stopped.<br /><br />Go back to the CTV piece on Scott & Tessa - the famous "maybe" feature now on youtube. That feature was created to address the "maybe we'll be a future couple" topic. It wasn't just the way the feature happened to unfold. Tessa spoke in ways she hadn't spoken before or since. She mentioned that she liked walking through Paris with Scott, "holding hands maybe." Yes, this is the sort of thing platonic partners do together when the other is in a committed relationship with someone else. <br /><br />Then the VO mentioned how these two sparkling personalities with great chemistry are reminiscent of Sale & Pelletier (who were not then known to be separated) and Sale & Pelletier are married and have a baby! Maybe Tessa and Scott will end up the same way! <br />The VO goes on to say "When we asked Tessa, she didn't exactly say no." We then see Scott and Tessa, and Scott slings his arm around her and gives her a big kiss on the forehead. It's after the kiss that Tessa says "maybe." Scott says he's been pitching this for twelve years - five if you're just talking about interviews, and he got his first maybe.<br /><br />So here's the takeaway. First of all, Tessa and Scott were complicit in this interview. It wasn't a random chat that happened to take that turn. They did the feature in the first place in order to set up the topic. I just don't think they'd have done that if they planned or knew they'd still be hiding in 2012. <br /><br />Second, what are two people doing saying things like that - him saying he's been pitching it for twelve years and finally "progress", her saying she likes to hold hands with him in Paris? He's got a "girlfriend!" Well, obviously the girlfriend doesn't matter cause she's fake, but they went totally off script - that's not what you do if you truly want people to believe in you and your girlfriend - and they do act at times as if the whole Jessica sham doesn't exist - only to slap it back in place again.<br /><br />And I guess third is the interview set it up as if it were up to Tessa. Yet Scott is the one in the official relationship with someone else. IMO this little charade mirrors, in some ways, the reality, only substitute "reveal we're a couple" for "become a couple." And the funny part is she didn't say maybe they'd become a couple or date - she was basically saying maybe they'd end up like Sale & Pelletier - married with a child. Quite a thing to "maybe" about.oycanadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056686007756844095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-69865812391258560522012-02-04T13:54:30.295-08:002012-02-04T13:54:30.295-08:00Last I saw the post was edited and the whole text ...Last I saw the post was edited and the whole text replaced by a fullstop.

The reason I am talking so much about them right now, is because I have always believed they share a very rare kind of love, the kind that you see in fairytales and poems. To most fans, them not getting together, is almost like love losing. I know I am being melodramatic, but I have SEEN people saying it. Saying that they are like a prince and princess, and their beauty as a pair moves them to tears. That is the vibe I get from them, on and off the ice. An epic love, of the rarest kind. Finding your blog and learning that they are together for sure ( bc I do believe you, 100%, rock on gurl!), did not make me angry at all. It actually relieved me, it was like justice! I don't care that they are lying, I get the reasoning -the way they are doing it is gross but you can see it's wearing them down as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
