I wish the Shibutanis would be skating to something like Mana as that Mexican team did. :(

The Uzbekistan team's Love Story song was the worst. WHY do we have to encounter that awful piece of music even here? And they used an abrupt and awkward tempo slowdown just to launch into their second rumba sequence. My ears are bleeding.

Anyone know who O'Brien/Merriman are training with now (which coaches)? Their twizzles a minute ago in warmup looked good.

M. Hubbell's dress is interesting, but I think if they were gonna go that way, they needed it to be dazzling. It's almost muted despite what it's trying to do.

This Chinese team was worth seeing just for the costumes. Love them (but hope never to see anything like them again). She's fantastic - has some of the better Latin flair out there, IMO. He's a bit wooden, wonder if he can improve.

She has a distracting amount of yellow and green fabric hanging out from under her skirt.

twizzles. He guts out the second set and they somehow get part of a thir
set going. No unison in 2nd & 3rd set of course

Rhumba to Mamba Italiano :eek:

second rhumba set. Hit first point well. May get credit for 2nd & 34d point

now we are not rhumbing, we have rhumba
for circular step, justifying going through it with very slow steps

relatively simple lift

back to let's get Loud

to go with the costumes

cartwheel lift-transitional to end, I think

45.42

Man! This crowd is hard on the skater. :unsure: Mind you...they're probably traumatized by all the bad skating from yesterday.

Maybe they are disappointed with the level of steamy sexiness? These are hot Latin dances and state legal limits should be tested.

Music to be rhumba throughout

gray is so not the dress to do this in

first rhumba not a good view for me to tell
lift -Mitch is more secure on the one foot part than he has been in
the past.nic

second rhumba
didn't get the 2nd point, maybe the 3rd

circular step-needs better unison a bit

twizzles out a bit and kind of weak

rotate lift to end

48.52

P/I must be getting hammered on levels (and those twizzles). They need to find someone who can help them with that.
