They seemed a bit nervous, and they made some costly mistakes - shame, they really needed to be more clean in order to fight for bronze

I don't think D/R are going to hold on to fifth. Messy, messy, messy.

ETA: A SB for that? Well ok...

What's up South Jersey?! Grew up in Philadelphia and spent many of my childhood years hanging out in Cherry Hill. :)

Wow, I grew up in Philly suburbs, and some of my best friends grew up in Cherry Hill...small world!

But Marissa is from Rhode Island....and what exactly does a Rhode Island sound like? And is Marissa's a hybrid of the two?
I think she has a Rhode Island accent; like a Cranston accent- it is similar to a Boston accent to me. I like those accents :)

The woman needs to provide some force of her own, she's not a sack of potatoes being thrown in the air. :laugh:
Well, I'm not going to argue on something about which I know very little. I'll just watch and listen to you experts talk. ;)

I spent some time in the Philly suburbs as well...though I was more in the exurbs, I think, since I was about 50 minutes away.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Cherry Hill FTW <3 (Guess where I grew up! :p)

:)

My aunt and uncle still lives in Cherry Hill. In fact when I was in the area this summer, I stayed with them. :)

Larionov looks so much better in costume than in just the t-shirt thingy he wore for the short. It elongates his bulk and gives him a better presentation. Certainly better than yesterday, but I woudn't move them up for it.

Nice little piece of trivia from @SarahandDrew:

US will improve over 2010, when their pairs were 10th and 13th. Can't be lower than 9th and 12th.

Yay! Congrats to our American pairs. :)

Aside from the sequin bombs that are certainly not Chanel, those kids are gorgeous. So much potential. They remind me so much of S&Z. I miss them! :cry:
