I hope Meryl and Charlie don't hear you referring to them as ghosts
Still, look how their spirits are hovering over a Skate Canada short dance competition two years after they left the ice.

Dont forget though that C&B were in Canada while the Shibs were skating in SA. That does make a difference. I think the only way to know is when we see them go head to head, or in "neutral" grounds.
Thank you!! This is so true. It annoys me that couples who cover little ice on twizzles and such can get similar GOEs than other couples. The good judges who know that it is harder to cover more ice actually do mark accordingly so though. So some judges do know what they are doing.
And yes, C/B were slower than the others in the Midnight Blues pattern, especially going by ice coverage.
By this logic, the Danish couple was the fastest team on the ice.
Just based on past experiences and judges' trends when scoring home country faves, I don't think the Shibs scores would have only happened on U.S. soil.
I already predicted and have said many times that it would not surprise me at all if Zoueva and D/W were secretly planning programs right now for the 2018 Olympics. Would not surprise me if they are training the Rhumba now and making programs for 2018. I mean, didn't Zoueva plan Scheherazade two years ahead of time? *yawn*
Great skate for Chock and Bates. I think P/C now can breathe; V and M barely beat C and B and some tech issues for V and M so it looks like pC are good as gold especially if V and M barely beat C and B who were struggling earlier. Sad about Stepanova and Bukin a bit of promise and once again the Russian ice dance program shows its weakness. No one is owning it for Russia. I think V and M need to find programs that are really them, original that push the envelope.
My take away Not Classy moment from the SD. After VM skated and the entire crowd rose for a standing ovation G/P"s coaches Carol and Jon Lane as well as some of their skaters chose to stay sitting and did not even clap. Just sat there stone faced. I don't know if I have ever seen such outrageously rude behaviour towards another team. She commentates for CBC sports for goodness sakes. It will definitely be hard for me to get behind this team of people after seeing them act in such a crass manner. Shame on you
Are you saying that you are a prude or a perv?
P/C only have to fear the return of Meryl and Charlie. Otherwise they will take home gold at every event until they retire.
Based on the fact that this event has a technical controller known for giving Tessa and Scott 5's in PCS like Skating Skills and now he is controlling the levels, I would not write them off just yet... They would have scored 79.3 with the same levels as C+B.
V/M cannot beat P/C at any event. The only team able to beat P/C is D/W. If they don't return, P/C will win everything all the time until they retire. They are so far ahead of everyone else there is simply no contest.
Please. As if Meryl and Charlie need to start practicing now to win Olympics in 2018. They are the greatest of all time. Olympics will be a cakewalk.

I'm amazed by the grace by P/C, I'm interested in what they will do for Hip Hop. But based on the scores, with V/M getting pretty high scores in their first competition back, I wouldn't take it for granted. V/M broke P/C's record in at Worlds for SD in a GP event with a crooked technical controller (albeit at home).
