Back from Octoberfest, absolutely loved Gilles/Poirier's program. They were incredible. Kept everyone's attention. The arena was packed and you could hear a pin drop when they began their program. Very dynamic team, will definitely be a contender this year. Their mark was totally deserved. Excellent skate, Paul had a slight wobble exiting a low spread eagle move but pulled out of it and saved the move. K/G-S were very smooth, nice lines, good flow, very nice highlights, but slow compared to Gilles/Poirier and not nearly as dynamic. I did think that K/G-S were underscored or perhaps P/I overscored in the short dance. K/G-S should have had a bigger gap between them and P/I. I also watch the Novice and Junior free dances. Comments on the Mengs as requested: nice flow, good speed, good technical stuff, program music way too mature for them, didn't draw the audience in much. I actually enjoyed Desveaux/Razjulagevs program more. It was more catchy and audience appealing, although the Mengs have a little better quality skating skills.
