Anyone watching the Olympic mens skating on at the moment? It seems as if Robin Cousins, has a flea in his ear about Evgeni Plushenko....I sense a bit of jealousy

    Ha ha, not joking the last dancing couple or the one before had trouble getting into a lift that you see on DOI every week. That was a bit strange, just an observation

    I agreed with Robin, I love Plushenko, he's a legend but he was overmarked.

    Oh I agree about Evgeni, he is unbelievable but the Canadian guy did 2 quads and Robin wasn't the only one who disagreed with the scores. He was marked on who he was, not what he did.

    There is no doubt Plushenko is a great performer but his component scores were definitely overmarked tonight. Robin's commentary tends to be quite bitchy in general though.

    Plushy performs with every fibre of his being, but he' s older now and the youngsters have the march on him in terms of stamina.

    It was really good, but no gondola is disappointing.

    I'm also missing the VTs with the contestants stressing about whether or not the move will work, and I'm missing the insight from their mum/child/dog about.

    I'm also uncertain as to whether or not the skaters had fun, or brought it to the rink. How am I supposed to know who to vote for? :confused:
