I'm a big H/D fan, but to be honest, I think H/B should have beaten them tonight.
They were really, really polished. Well done for first year seniors... or for anyone, for that matter.
i happened to prefer the jazzy/hiphop Chock/Bates and Hubble/Donahue than lyrical/emotional Maia/Alex and Hawayek/Baker this time.

I was expecting to see something really great, but instead I'm disappointed. The changes in costuming gives them a more open accessible look, Maia is very elegant as always, but the dance still does not sing to me. The new choreography still looks rough and they are not matching the intensity and tempo changes in the music. I think honestly they are bored with skating this style. They need something more modern and edgy, tongue and cheek. Their SD and gala this year are really, really cool. I hope they shake it up like that next season because I like them, even though I'm not really enthused about this FD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVlu6xVcI8c
I'm the opposite. C/B are obviously v. talented skaters but it seems all surface, no depth re. their free. H/B I thought lacked coherence. It felt like a messy exhibition to me. But I'm totally aware that there's most definitely a bias because I prefer the Shibs and Hawayek/Baker over both, especially H/B who leave me particularly cold.
I think Hubble is very sexy today so I like them a bit more. I also think H/B lacks coherence, but I think it mainly is due to the incohesive composition of that music/music editing.

Aw, I'm bummed you're disappointed. The step sequences and lifts are new, so maybe it will look better as we get later in the season and with some more mileage.
Probably that's part of it. But I do think they have outgrown these sorts of programs.
Maia just said. "Our next goal is the 2018 Olympics." Glad to hear that.
