Mao
Takahiko
Takahito
Jeffrey
Javier
Kovtun
Ashley Wagner
Gracie Gold (Can we trade her in for her BF please?)
Adelina
Kaitlyn and Andrew
Shibutanis
Narumi and Ryuichi

So far I am quite disappointed

And now I list my dream cast:

Mao
Mai
Kana
Ako
Zijun
Mirai
Christina
Alissa

Yuzu
Taka
Dai
Takahito
Javier
Jeremy
Misha xD
Florent

Meryl and Charlie
Kaitlyn and Andrew

Tatianna and Maxim
Mervin and Narumi :'(

Huh, I wonder why Meryl and Charlie aren't on it? They have been every other year I can think of...

Wow,Adelina and Kovtun!!! I don't feel disappointed at all. I like Ashley and to me it seemed(at GPF) that Mao and Ashley have good friendly relationships.

I hope Zijun, Liza and Alissa will also be invited

I liked this Mao, Ashley and Kimmie moment at TEB back in 2007.

Yes! I know many members here don't like Ashley,but I don't want to judge her ,she's not equal to Patrick in any ways. When I saw her in person she was very friendly and nice

Ashley is a nice enough person. I don't dislike whom she is. I dislike USFSA for politicking her and pretending this is the Queen of American Figure Skating. Same can be said of Gracie. And I think that that can be said of most of the people on this forum. I feel like the only people we actually dislike as people are Patrick Chan and Scott Moir, and that is more for their arrogance than anything else.

Maybe not liking Ashley comes from the fact that she's been a little 'diva-ish' this season and those rumors that she was not in good term with her team mates.
But I know she's good friend with Mao or I should say, Mao is nice to everyone, you can't dislike her.

Yes, I agree with you. I also when first saw Ashley didn't get good impression. But to be honest I'm also the person who looks too diva-ish at first sight. I remember how my friends told me that when they saw me for the first time they thought, oh god, she looks so angry and narcissistic But what can i do, my face is not friendly looking at all. But it's just how it is, I'm not putting any thoughts in it and I'm not thinking bad about people at all. My friends at Russian forum who were at GPF said Mao and Ashley talked like long time friends)) I doubt if Ashley is so diva-ish she would talk with Mao in that way. I'm friends with Ashley at facebook for a long time,when she wasn't promoted by US federation and she was lovely with her posts and everything. I still can't walk away with Patrick and Scott behaviour but Ashley is just a one time US promotion, I afraid they will change her to Gracie soon.

The main reason for my .... I really really really dislike Ashley and Gracie's exhibition numbers. They are never entertaining to me and I never get into them like I can with the Japanese skaters. (Especially Ashley's new one and that dress).

Is it this one you're referring to? (for Ashley's new Ex by Shae-Lynn Bourne?)

mh~~ not my cup of tea....and she's doing a fan spiral into 2Axel!

Why no Meryl and Charlie? I hope they'll still add more to the cast. Hope we see Miki back, too. And I hope they can invite Zijun, Elena R, and Denis Ten.

I heard that from long time fan of Meryl that both top ice dance pairs decided to say away from shows in order to prepare for Olympics. I may be wrong about Tessa and Scott, but it seems true for Meryl and Charlie.

That's the one, new dress, but I still don't like it. I just get the feeling of "trying too hard" when I watch her skate.

Has it started already? Sorry. I've been out for a while!

Kanako and Satoko have been added to the cast list (There must be another announcement of skaters- there are not enough guys! *cough cough Yuzu cough cough**)

Oh it's still a while! I'm eager to know her new programs at the moment.

The TV news(?) program キャッチ！フィギュア helps with the promotion of The Ice. The video clip from yesterday's broadcast was on the "Dance challenge" of The Ice 2012, between Mao and Taka:

Enjoy!
