To my eye at the time they were the most romantic thing ever and I couldn't imagine how anyone could get a bigger throw double Axel. <br /><br />Ahhh hindsight...<br /><br />(Still, do have a soft spot for them - everytime I see Emma on Glee I think of Jenni)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-37570252449813542652010-11-08T08:11:06.912-08:002010-11-08T08:11:06.912-08:00I find that animated gif of Bob Ross (and his enor...I find that animated gif of Bob Ross (and his enormous frizzy hair) extremely disturbing.

I hated the fact that they used Nessun Dorma for what seemed like 5 seasons! They made me hate that particular piece of music.

The best thing about this pair was always Jenni's positions. Stretch and line like her's used to be fairly commonplace. Sadly the decline in that standard began during their era and continues to this day. BTW Todd had been around FOREVER even at this point. He and Lloyd Eisler could both have applied for skater's Medicare by then. Both had gone through multiple partners, won national titles with more than one, gone to multiple Olympics with said partners and had their careers nearly crash and burn at least once. Then they each went on to their greatest success. Todd had even competed against Scott Hamilton for several years in singles nearly 15 years before when he was representing Denmark.ramonfan08https://www.blogger.com/profile/02907898507749454478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-11357337211213701352010-11-07T19:34:29.146-08:002010-11-07T19:34:29.146-08:00No throw elements back then, huh?

Can't comment on the technical aspects of it, but it looked great to this couch sitter.MollyMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946847925977488129noreply@blogger.com
