I still laugh at the irony of two skaters wearing a tux and a dance dress that cost more than any miner ever made in many many months skating to "I sold my soul to the company store."

Then again, this is Ice Dancing, so it might not be so ironic after all...

Ilinykh/Katsalapov were pretty good. Solid 69+ score but looks like they missed a few levels. But alas, they should be happy with that performance.

They did skate well but the extremely high marks scream 'Sochi pre-politicking part 2.' (We've had part 1 in the Ladies SP )

Question - where did the -1.00 deduction for Coomes/Buckland came from? Did I miss sth while I sneezed?!

Ilinykh/Ktasalapov got 69 at TEB against Pechalat/Bourzat. I don't think their score is too high. They have very good skating skills, good program and clean elements.

I'm gonna customize the CRAP out of this title!

I lurved I/K short! Regal!
Oh boy, and I did not realize how hot G. Cizeron is! (And so is Nikita).

But I am really sad that P/C placed so low... I really believed they could be a dark horse for top spots! I hope they can fight back in the free!

I liked the british couple too. Few glitches here and there, but that was an original program. And I liked her dress too!

I also thought that R/T did better than usually.

Ziganshina/Gazsi should have at least scored a bit higher then Riazanova/Tkatchenko!
I really love their program...

If that's the case, I would be thrilled. I love that FD.

Cappellini/LaNotte's skating was nice and the elements were ok but I wouldn't have scored this above I/K, who have some exceptional qualities.

0.04 points! Well, that´s really close... I think, the Free Dance will be as dramatic as this last group today... maybe more... I think everything is still open..

Guignard and Fabbri take the award for Music Cuts Most Horrendous.

I wonder if Fusar-Poli wields The Glare when her students screw up in practice. Just sayin'.

Glass houses. I/K's FD choreography is pretty awful, IIRC.

C/L won because of PCS, which, in my opinion, should have been higher for I/K
