bring the Carmen back!!! please.SO TRUE
Would V/M stand a better chance if they went back to an old FD like their Mahler? And maybe modified it?

Yes I think so. They are slower than Russians and its not like this program harder than I/K. Judges still loving them of course. They are giving their very slow twizzles +2.:disapp:
Virtue/Moir lost a level I think. Could be one of the lifts.
One can only thank that Ms. Blumberg won't be at Sochi as a Tech caller.
Nah, they are getting about an average of 9.75 for their components in the FD, which is more than good. There are technical issues to work on to be sure, and it would be even better if the Tech panel is not stacked with a "well known" American tech caller and a French tech controller. Thankfully, per ISU rules, both of them will be taking a vacation during Sochi Olympics.
and that can go higher !!
bring the Carmen back!!! please.
Thank? We need strict callers. SA and SC 'Lv4 for everyone' calling was .
'Because a skater(s) I like got lower scores than usual, that obviously means there is an eville conspiracy.'
Take off your tin-foil hat.
Any thoughts on the technical calling? I'm inclined to say she was super strict....I/K actually were smart to focus on getting the levels....though it didn't cost them that much as far as +GOE.
The GOE on that combo lift was unreal.

What's interesting is that Pechalat/Bourzat and Ilinykh/Katsalapov's base TES was almost the same. I/K's was just one point higher because P/B only got Lv3 on their spin.
The big difference on the TES score was mostly due to I/K's higher GOE and there is no doubt that tonight they have executed their elements to a higher standard.

Ice dance judging is so bizarre. I have no opinion or idea. Did I/K skate that much worse last weekend?
As much as I am an I/K uber, I didn't think they were as good as the score. Their music cut could be tighter. But I'll give Morozov credit. This program, albeit tacky at places, is very well designed to maximum GOEs and have an automatic standing ovation every time. Only the crowd is standing to the grandiose of the music and Elena's fabulous diva-ness, not necessarily to the dance, but all the better. Too bad they are still not making GPF. I honestly can not tell if the NHK caller was crazy or this one.
