PB I'd put them ahead of DW...coz DW today didn't impress at all.

Also worth noting that the Shibs PCS finally got up — They are virtually tied with the C/L, W/P and I/K and B/S (32-33 range). It was their usually strong area that let them down today. That is a bummer considering they are usually strong technically.

It's SO close, the first three!
Forget any possibility of them being overtaken by Weaver/Poje; they are knocking on the door of Davis/White with that score! Great job, Nathalie and Fabian!
I'm conflicted about the Shibs. I think being bro/sis complicates things far more than it benefits them. I won't quibble with their technical skills -they're quite good but they lack passion, attitude, pizzazz and a maturity that comes with age. Physically, their short stature makes it difficult to create much line and some of the costume choices for her have done nothing to "mature" her. In fact, this SP dress looks like a junior ladies dress and not a senior dance dress. Perhaps I'm being unfair - I'm willing to rethink it.
IMO, the only US dance team that "brought it" was Hubble and Donahue and good for them.
And who could look so good after D/W? V/M were amazing.
P/B were amazing, I am so glad they are in third place!! Tessa and Scott are simply in a league on their own. And I am not even a fan to begin with
I thought both Davis/White and the Shibs were way overscored on PCS.
Here are the protocols
Do you ACTUALLY believe that Scott Moir says 'jump' and the ISU says 'how high?' ?????
Tessa and Scott are out of th world! They deserve to win all the Olys they challenge for
For some reason I can never enjoy PB (constume perhaps). I would personally put CL in third, IK in fourth...
