Scott ღ Tessa #103 ~ Because ROAAAARRR !!
Welcome to the Scott&Tessa thread! . . . . .
Our favourite programs . . . . . . . . Olympic Champions World Champions . . . . . In 2003-2004 season, fourteen-year old Virtue and sixteen-year old Moir made their debut on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. They placed 4th at the event in Croatia and 6th in Slovakia. At the 2004 Canadian Figure Skating Championships, they won the Junior title, qualifying them for the 2004 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, where they placed 11th. They skated to Russian Medley choreographed by their future coach Marina Zoueva and Tutti Frutti. Canadian commentators were gushing about this remarkable new couple, calling them the new Bourne and Kraatz. Coached by Paul MacIntosh and Suzanne Killing, Virtue and Moir were quickly making themselves known in the figure skating world for their intricate footwork and incredible skating abilities. . . . . . “All of a sudden, one day I woke up and ice dance and T e s s a ... that was my whole life.” . . . . . - Bring Me Flowers - - Jump Then Fall- - Mary's Song - - Sway - - Open Your Eyes To Love - - You'll Be in My Heart - - The Way - - Two Is Better Than One - - Soulmate - - Fever - - We're Dancing - - Why Don't You & I - - Forever - - Grace - - Vanilla Twilight - - All We Are - - Crazy For This Girl - - Come on Get Higher - - At The Beginning - - Possibly, Maybe - - Best Days - - Gravity - - One Moment More - - Awake - - Amazed - - The Day I Fall in Love - - Super Duper Cute - - High - - Kiss the Rain - - Around You - - Cosmic Love - - Attractive Tango - - Northern Sky - - There's Too Much Love - - Journey to Gold - - Fireflies - - Starry Eyed - - I Wanna Hold Your Hand - - You Can - - Evacuate The Dance Floor - - May I -

Thanks for the new thread! I'm so useless at doing that, LOL.
This is a link to a blog that has a couple of VM pics -- one from Stay, and one from the world champs number where Tessa's in the air in the splits, but from an angle I hadn't seen. Mondays with Mac: Mondays with Mac goes to Stars on Ice thanks to Jergens Canada There seems to be quite a number of blogs that are featuring SOI this year, more than I remember from the past. And a lot of them were sponsored by Jergens (the newest sponsor of SOI). I'm assuming it's an interesting marketing choice. Basically, Jergen's looks for blogs that are written by/for women (who would have readers most likely to use their product). Jergen's offers the bloggers free tickets to SOI, and in return, that person blogs about their experience and thanks Jergens for it. Everyone wins... including us, since we get more photos. But it's interesting to read the blogs, especially when it becomes obvious that the blogger is not necessarily a big figure skating fan, or perhaps only of certain skaters or disciplines. (Like this one, comments that there were 'sexy' moments too but then includes pictures from the Kerrs, which is unfortunate.) And just as a sidenote, although there are plenty of people commenting on the free chocolates from Lindt (which was also very effective as it literally happens in the middle of the show at the end of the advertisement from VM), Jergens was also giving away free samples -- moisturizer and a bronzing thing, IIRC -- as people were leaving the show. I don't know if I was just zoning out in previous years, LOL, but I don't recall this sort of gifting before! (Canadian Tire was also quite gift giving at Nationals this year, with little hand warmers and lip balm - practical!) ETA: all sort of videos are popping up (yay! and thank you!) but I was very excited to see this, the world champions number (called "Wonder"). Great job by the person taking it, even though there are times when the skaters are separated and it's hard to decide who to follow (though no where near as difficult as the opening number, where there is so much going on that you literally didn't know who to watch live let alone on camera). You can see Tessa's unsupported back arch here -- it's not long, but she could have had an easier time of it and instead does this. I am full of wonder. Yes, pun on the song. Anyway, the other thing I love watching group numbers is how often VM are in sync with each other. After all these years, their lines usually match, but so does their musical timing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsXW70_Q1N0 __________________

Going strictly by what we as fans saw of Tessa and Scott's PR, or management, I can't say I feel they were well represented. It sounds like the guy is all about golf. Would that explain the disasters we've seen with things like V/M's official web pages? Or the lack of any coordinated media to show VM as the best skaters ever? Maybe the guy isn't aware of the media assault on V/M's skating skills, going on now for more than a year? It looks like Tessa and Scott were satisfied, so I must assume that behind the scenes he was wonderful. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.) ETA: I was thinking what splashy endorsements I remember from the last few years and all I come up with is the Butter Duos creams (I forget the name of the company) and this latest Today's Bride. Maybe my memory is faulty and some of you can remember something else that actually generated PR besides the book sales. Are these the kinds of things this agent was pushing? It shows a huge lack of imagination if he thought they were only good for endorsing couple-themes. And I also think it does them a great disservice. There's a place for that, as they are a guy/girl team, but that can't be the only thing they're capable of promoting? Last edited by bluecastle; 05-06-2013 at 07:42 PM |

Lol I just went on the official site and nothing has really changed. All the pics are the same; it's amusing in a way. Maybe the new person will be better. I'm not going to hold my breath though. Oh Tessa and Scott…sigh.

Okay, I'm amused at myself at the moment. I had started to post that, then changed my mind when I couldn't come up with anything intelligent to say about it... but I guess I hit reply instead of whatever I thought I did, LOL. So, sorry to have posted the link and not added anything to it to even describe what the heck I was posting. But basically, yeah, I thought, I guess this guy negotiated contracts for them -- SOI, probably the Ex shows last summer, probably their official sponsors, etc, but will we really notice any change from then to now? Probably not. Now, if the next person representing them suddenly takes them in another direction, then maybe, but otherwise, we can practically forget they even have representation.
bluecastle, I think that a lot of what IMG is doing for them is more 'behind the scenes' rather than a big public push. That is, they're the ones who negotiate with the tours/shows, and with the sponsors -- Lindt, Acura, RBC, PWC, Kozy Shack. And, obviously, VM do have some public appearances in exchange for these sponsorships -- we've seen the 'skate with the stars' from Kozy Shack contest, there's one from Lindt at the end of the SOI tour, they give talks for PWC... but they're fairly low-key, low publicity events, and maybe that is what VM prefer (I wouldn't know). __________________

sometimes i feel that all the bad stuff always happens to v/m. but then i remember they are strong they will get through this. if they were able to win the olympics while tessa was in excruciating pain they are able to do anything. all they got to do is stay safe and get back in their bubble. even if that means we will have an uneventful offseason. now that d/w are world champions v/m can fly under the radar. this is what's great about people who say "oh v/m wont win the olympics again" they wont expect it. because of their loss, v/m will be perceived less as a threat. i expect the russian feds to be politicking against d/w in the upcoming season. because d/w cannot always rely on abusing PR to win (e.g. that reuters article, the ryan pyette one. like seriously, meryl could've said that her grandma is from london when it was first announced that worlds would be in london. she could've helped tessa and scott promote the event.) honestly, this and them being undefeated all season just screams politicking. when v/m won their first worlds and second world title, they werent undefeated all season and there is no way that d/w are that good to be undefeated all season. there are other teams out there that are good as well. sometimes i feel that the gpf and olympic results have already been fixed :/. eta: __________________
