Wow Maia has really improved. I used to think Alex was so much better than her but she seems to be catching up.

Can someone tell me what the Shibs costumes, choreo and whole routine had to do with the music? There was no connection at all, they could've been skating to anything. Terrible interpretation of a Dance Classic of the Ballet world and Ice Dance past.

I still think the Missing music was a major mistake, but the Shibs skated that better than they have all season I think.

I think the Shibs' programs this year just weren't that great. And they seriously should have changed coaches--they are the orphans in the Zoueva group now.

Yes. As usual. It's just :rolleye:.

The elements actually worked really well for them tonight but that choreography and that program is just ridiculous. I didn't see any connection between their movements and the music.

Oh god! The Russians just had a mistake on the twizles. Too bad that should drop them around 8th-10th place:disapp:

i'm impressed on how the shibs did, considering the fact that their program was never great to start with...always questioned that music choice/choreo :rolleye:
yikes it's a five-team horse race for third. add the last two russian teams in and you'll get a seven-team horse race. this thing is heating up! :popcorn:

I've thought all season that is I/K's attempt to do a variation on Marlie's Bollywood program. But it's more of a carbon copy than a xerox...

No team that isnt in the final flight has a shot at 3rd. Especialy the #2 and #3 U.S teams have no shot at the bronze, and I&K at this point dont either.

Agree. The scores/placements are what they are, but I haven't really enjoyed them since their short dance two years ago.

Tonight, I remembered that I used to really like them.

They need a coaching change... they need a new choreographer... they need something. They're floundering.

And it's a shame, because there is talent there.
