C/L's costumes strike me as very similar to another pair who skated at CoC maybe... but I can't remember who.

They got 2 penalties. What was the other one for?
Might have been a time deduction for their lift.

They really need to work on self control, that program seemed to overwhelm them.

Shibutanis skating the same program for the 3435th season, with the same total lack of expression, just set to different music.

I've seen Novice teams with more personality and character.

Yes technically it was good but *yawn*.

Now Now. That's sounds crabby to me. I love the Shibutanis.

At this point, they need to hit the levels. That's what hurt them the last two seasons. And they did better here and that's pretty noteworthy considering that the tech controller seems to be strictler.

Shibs were absolutely adorable tonight! He still makes me nervous every time he goes into a twizzle, but overall a very nice program and performance.

I like I/K's program, but I think their TES is going to be below the Shibs. PCS will keep it close though.

I/K--his twizzles made me think "there must be medication for that." Other than that it is a completely unremarkable program for me. Total throwback to pre-Torvill/Dean days. Yawn.

Lovely program from Ilynikh/Katsalapov. Very smooth skating throughout, good lines, a lot of upper body movement.

I was expecting another Morozovian monstrosity but this wasn't bad.

Technically not as sharp as Shibutanis though.

She looked not thrilled w/ that score fora second then pulled it together with a big smile. I liked the dance overall I hope they will keep improving through the season.

That SD is miles better than B/S's mess.

Also, does anyone else think Elena looks a lot like Nathalie Pechalat?

And I/K is behind the Shibs AND Giles and Poirier in TES. Yikes.
