Airs tonight at 8 pm est
It was nice to see just some of their genuine interaction (they had a scene at a restaurant where neither looked completely comfortable, it felt like they knew there were cameras around) in little scenes where they are training or just hanging out.
it's been posted on you tube!

Oh, and Scott mentioned how guys seem to want to go through him if they are interested in Tessa. Apparently she's clueless to men flirting with her. I think that's about it.
I know, right? Canadian men are blind, is what. I can tell you from personal experience.Meanwhile she is the most gorgeous thing on ice.
Unfortunately it's been taken down from Youtube already.
As long as someone keeps posting the episodes online, I'll keep watching but I will take the content with a grain of salt.
The power of the editing room is remarkable. I've worked on a couple of film productions - both scripted and documentary, and documentaries are by far the hardest thing to edit if you want to offer a truly unbiased account of events... but that probably wouldn't be "exciting" enough for a cable company to trust the ratings.
I will say at least they aren't bringing in actors to be fake friends or hiring a fake choreographer for them to create a certain personality. Hopefully they'll continue to spare us that sort of thing and save that kind of manipulation for shows like DanceMoms etc...
In any event it is cool to get a some sort of glimpse into their world. Artistic relationships can be some of the hardest to maintain and understand. At one moment you feel married to the person. The next you're best friends. Then the next day you don't want to see their face, or they're simply the business partner you work with. That's a dynamic to this show I found interesting and very relatable.
Tessa and Scott are extremely talented and clearly work incredibly hard. I could use less of the editing that looks like Meryl is watching their every move. I really doubt she spends a lot of time watching them practice lifts, but I will believe that that competitive edge is an ever present element of the Detroit Skating Club. Still, as a skating fan I can't deny how fun it is to watch this show, even if I want to cringe when they play super cheesy music in the background instead of Ella when we watch then perform their FD. One can only wonder what sort of music they'll choose when they do their FD...
