in my case, I blame Barney (but you do have a point)
yes but I like green.. so I can't really blame Barney for my dislike of certain colors as he has both

I resp disagree. D/W can't get away with a mediocre performance, I don't see it happening.

Bollywood's been around for quite some time, it may be seen as a part of the culture. It all started with Raj Kapoor in the 1950s, if not earlier.The main problem for me in D/W OD is that is kind of bollywod, not Idian Folk Dance

You're prob right, it's possible I wouldn't recognize genuinely kathak moves even if they were performed right under my nose.and steps are also not genuinely kathak or inspired by kathak
B&A:
Did they change something in the routine? Thier OD looks less Soviet this time.
Tanith is so pretty.
Their dance never was soviet to begin with. It is a moldavian folk, and Republic of Moldova used to be before the 1940 part of Romania, and the western half of it is still there in the eastern region of Romania..
The last section of their dance is an extract of Romanian Rapsody # 1 by Enescu, the most famous romanian composer.
It looks like one element was completely ruled out, but I don't know how. Lowest TES of the competition. Anyone?
I really enjoy B/A OD, smes to be atuthentic, the costumes are cute and I hope they keep improving over the season. They are skating really fast don't they?
what happened to K/N really low scores?
K/N are just a fraction of a point ahead of C/L, who from what I've read here (feed kept freezing on me) weren't particularly brilliant. I've no problem with CDs being a big part of the score, so long as they are judged properly.That was a very bad dance. It is a shame they could hang on to second after being 5th in the OD. There is something wrong with how much the CD is influencing the outcome. It is like a protocol place holder.
Moldova stayed Soviet for decades. The kind of dance B/A are using, was to see on Soviet TV regularly. That is why I called it 'Soviet'.
She put her foot down on twizzle, most likely got level 1 on that element.
I am romanian and our folk music from Moldova region is exactly how B/A are dancing. the costumes are what I used to wear in kindergarten, when I was dancing at our festivities.
I am not denying that Moldova was soviet for decades, but before 1940 was part of Romania, going back to middle ages.
That is correct. First they went out of synch, he was turning half turn behind her, then she put one foot down when switching direction.
