There's no way P/T will skip out on the Olympics, but they're hopefully smart enough to be present for the whole season when they make that probable final run.

This was a good year to take that rest. They over competed last season to carry China with S/Z's retirement and Z/Z injury. They can start building a momentum next season into Sochi. Presently they are putting off their wedding to focus on the skating.

They may medal here with S/S being the biggest challenger left without a big deficit and T/T being inconsistent.

Truly lovely lifts and DS; jumps failed them. I really do love love love their lifts though. I can't even say how much.

B/L are a classic Russian pair, with very good elements, but I generally find them boring.

I agree..this was the year to rest if they want to go for Sochi.

Most hilarious and overly dramatic entrance ever. By her, he just looks kinda confused by what she's doing lol.

I guess it's Caydee's attempt at setting a tone that she truly is elegant and artistic but turned out inadvertently CAMP! I wonder whose brilliant idea that was. It was much needed comic relief and it did match their awful guitar version of a beautiful classic piece of music.

She also kept making these hilarious 'I am FIERCE' faces during the program. They kind of disgusted me.

You're right. And it does look like they're going to medal, unless T/T have the skate of their lives looking at their career results.
