I'm also intrigued as to why it's so offensive that Dom/Shab have done an OD inspired by Aboriginal folk (notice it doesn't say Australian folk and they say they took inspiration from a number of Aboriginal cultures) and yet there is no offense when the Americans choose to be influenced by Bollywood and the Indian dance tradition which isn't their own?

This is a serious question by the way. Are people reacting to the fact the Australian Aboriginal culture were offended and, if they hadn't, would anyone else have said anything at all other than it was a bizarre choice for a style of dance in the first place?

I beilieve the problem is that Dom/Shab's interpretation was deemed offensive while D/W's was not. It's not that they used a dance from another culture, it's how they chose to interpret it.

Wow, that was really great! I don't remember caring as much for V/M's OD when I first saw it on Youtube, but I loved it tonight. Spectacular! They are really bringing it!

Well, I said it after DomShabs, the judges pushed them all up.

Good judging tonight and two bloody brilliant ODs!

Huge score and push for Virtue/Moir. Why do I have the feeling that V/M may actually win the gold over D/W....Their adagietto is superior to D/W POTO in every sense.

The chances at an all-NA ice dancing podium are looking higher and higher now.

Belbin and Agosto do have some pretty good speed in this program.

I've never seen Twilight, but does anyone think Tessa Virtue looks a bit like the girl who plays Bella?

B/A can't go in first. I don't see with their program. But I can see 3rd, It's fast.

I really think the Russians did themselves in with arrogance, plus their skating and program.

NOO!!! Tessa can never look like the tired and poor excuse called Kristin Stewart....**cringes** She absolutely ruins the movie.
