I thought they already had Hall of Fame installations put up in London/Ilderton after 2010, but I guess you can never have enough.
I'd imagined 2019-20 was the season Virtue and Moir had to pull the trigger (or not) on a fourth Olympics, but I jumped that gun. All we've got anticipation-wise is speculating what next troll-tastic firecracker the two will throw into the otherwise semi-dormant VM fandom: Can they even top, "Scott's dating his partner. His OTHER partner." It was a one note joke but easy to imagine guffaws all around in Moirville.
Almost 25 years ago a number of pairs figure skaters were bitter at Gordeeva & Grinkov's return to Olympic competition. It kicked everybody else down a step, "robbing" several aspirants of their podium finish hopes. Similarly, if Virtue Moir hadn't competed in Pyeongchang, Papadakis & Cizeron would have received their gold medal in 2018, and this current cycle might claim some legitimacy. Instead we endure two more years of Papadakis & Cizeron's synchronized swimming on ice. Two more years of virtue-signaling from Tessa Virtue's social media, two more years of Scott and Tessa yet again re-tweaking their established relationship narratives or inventing new ones to suit their most recent commercial partnership. It's no Shibutanis again, for no reason other than what's the point. It's updated rules and requirements with no actual competitive relevancy. Not Virtue and Moir's fault, but here we are.
Ice dance should be abolished as an Olympic sport after 2022. That could be the direction its headed. This cycle could be the argument that gets it done.

OC, what do you think of Weapo's defense of John Coughlin, even as Ashley Wagner comes forward?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it or been able to find it. If you're not in a position to know, IMO you shouldn't weigh in, and they're not in a position to know.
DeleteIIRC, they added a dedication to him to their Denis Ten-tribute FD at Canadian Nats, right after Coughlin's suicide but before details about the allegations had been released and months before Ashley Wagner's revelation.
DeleteWhen Wagner made her initial Instagram post about what Coughlin had done to her, Kaitlyn posted in support, which kicked off a series of angry replies from fans (though not from Ashley, who by all indications hadn't shared this with people like Kaitlyn).
I assume you've heard Scott's happy news?
ReplyDeletescott got engaged.
ReplyDeleteScott is engaged to a MAGA trash.
ReplyDeleteStill think this is a sham? No way would they pick this girl. It's a mess and could actually affect the tour.
ReplyDeleteNot just could but affecting: some people want to refund their tickets.
DeleteI don't "Think" this is a sham. It is a sham.
DeleteDo you think they're smart? IMO, the whole har de har of Scott getting with his partner, but - LOL! It's not Tessa! is right up their alley.
It used to be fun to armchair psychoanalyze them but at this stage they are just disgusting. The motives are too basic to be interesting, and too depressing.
P.S. if you don't think Ilderton is rife with Maga types, you don't know Ilderton. Scott's family often projects an insular, provincial mindset. I don't know what this means about their politics, but it wouldn't make someone like Mascarin an automatic no to them.
DeleteSome people are refunding tickets and others are selling their tickets. Congratulations Scott your MAGA trash is ruining everything.
ReplyDeleteHow could he do that to Tessa? Announce his engagement when THEY are being honoured for THEIR achievements? He's a pig. I can't believe it but maybe I should. Once Ilderton trash, always Ilderton trash.
ReplyDeleteTessa and Scott are doing it together. There is not a thing Scott does that Tessa isn't on board with 100% if not the actual instigator.
DeleteSimilarly, if Virtue Moir hadn't competed in Pyeongchang, Papadakis & Cizeron would have received their gold medal in 2018 BIG LOL
ReplyDeleteso why PC WON FREE SKATE???With that amazing goat couple, you will answer me?Because judges are corrupted?Joke. YOu still living in fantasies, my dear PC WOULD RECEIVE THEIR DESERVED GOLD MEDAL , even with. IF ACCIDENT DIDNT happen.You realize that?
If what you say was true , PC wouldnt have won FREE SKATE, stop lying and making uo facts ok?
The person who had to sew the dress is the problem. She was supposed to do and she ddint. And that lady was a canadian.You know whom i mean?
You do not make any sense.
DeleteP/C were way over scored on their short program. They obviously looked distracted and stilted. Over marked and sense of entitlement.
DeletePC didn't win the free dance. They were gifted scores for the free - different thing. If you know what you're talking about re skating, I'm sure you can ignore the protocols and point out yourself exactly where PC's content was more truly difficult and execution better than VM. Be specific. It's a sport. It's not about feelings. PC didn't belong on the podium.
DeleteI can't believe they are doing this again! I feel so sorry for their kids.
ReplyDeleteScott is getting married. I hope there won't be a custody battle for the kids. I'm sure there won't though because that would have to become public record. It's always the fictional wives that suffer when a fictional marriage ends.
ReplyDeleteScott isn't getting married, he's already married. He'll be married ten years in a few weeks. He and Tessa. Everything else is them lying.
DeleteI personally think it was idiotic of Gaby to not make sure the dress was secure, especially after the clasp broke in the previous practice already...I mean..its no big deal right..its only the Olympic Games...why come prepared??LOL that's the difference between inexperienced competitors and tried and true competitors
ReplyDeleteyes, the timing of the announcement is quite bizarre...like come on Scott, you are classier than that
ReplyDeleteMaybe he’s not classy at all. Maybe the Scott we saw at that TV show is really what he’s like. Also, he’s dating a MAGA apparently. Maybe he shares the same political beliefs?
DeleteSo OC, are you going to post an apology for years of basically lying About virtue moir being secretly married w kids ?
ReplyDeleteWho cares? It's OC's blog, you don't have to read it.
DeleteHe's obviously mid-breakdown. I'm not sure how anyone could look at it differently.
ReplyDeleteThe Russians are starting to think that it's a sham without this blog's help.
DeleteReally? Link?
DeleteIt's not on online forums, but I know some V/M fans and through private conversation in VK I know that many of them are not buying it.
Deletehttps://vk.com/topic-137793502_39832884?offset=0
DeleteHe's not engaged. They're just upping the ante.
ReplyDeleteYep, I was watching the 2018 Olympic Games again and the way he was looking at ERIC like he was about to kill him just because he was looking at his woman... Chill out Scott you know that Eric is gay for fu**'s sake right?
ReplyDeleteAlso watch the Sochi Olympic, there was a guy ( Guess it was a pair, never saw before ) standing next to Tessa in the medal team event, at a moment I was scared Scott was going to pull out a gun and kill the guy just because he exchanged some words with Tessa. If it's a woman Scott will probably just torture but if it's a man the poor guy is dead. I'm scared even for their daughter, the poor kid probably wasn't even able to have been breastfeed. Scott has an obsession with Tessa, if they ever break up it's better be his choice, because if it's hers I'm scared it can end up in a femicide, I'm serious.
DeleteScott is one of the most hypocritical people of this world. He can pretend to date that Jessica, and Cassandra was the other one I think? Even kiss them, he can pose the way he wants with his fake girlfriends, dance around with other women, carry The Frozen Queen Gracie Gold, be all funny, all man, all around women, but Tessa can't, Besides this fake chubby guy she's pretending she's dating how many men has she "dated" ? He can't even stand men around her, I can't imagine what the contract is like for the fake relationship: "If you kiss my woman even on the cheek you and you're family are dead" I wouldn't accept that while he can have all the fun he wants.
