What was that spin in the end all about?

I actually liked Z&Z's waltz better than C&L's

Go Tan & Ben!

Loved the orgasmic face expressions in the starting pose, by all the couples today.

Tanith looks stunning, their dance looks more stunning. Clearly the best dancein this field even in my (no techninque)eye.

**Ptichka** · 11-13-2009, 04:05 PM

No surprises

B/A and K/N in a class above the rest of the field.

Mikito, give yourself some credit because if you can see the competitors form, figure and interpretation and the pattern of the dance that is the first part of how well they skated. It doesn't always take an expert to know what they are seeing if the quality is there.

I did too, to my surprise. I don't think C's dress is doing her any favors. It's kind of cool, but clutters her line and makes her legs look short. But they also seemed to fade out.

Her line sings, that's one thing (Khoklova). I didn't like her dress at first, but once they started moving, I saw why they chose it -- it makes her movements that much more legible. His hair was a little bit like Kramer, lol (on Seinfeld). I preferred them to B&A. At this point with everyone singing their praises I guess I just have a blind spot for B&A.
