Dance GP Finalists posted hot off the press...

So glad to see SOMEONE has their priorities in perfect order!

Carry on.

:agree:

I want Virtue and Moir, but I'm thinking PC. I didn't know what one poster said early in the season that 'VM are too good for Moulin Rouge' until I saw it. Yep. The perfect description. *sigh* I want them to do 'Umbrella's' again - next to Mahler, it's their best, I think

 

[VIETgrlTerifa]

The smart money is on Papadakis/Cizeron, but you just never know what will happen on the ice and how the scores will look once all the top contenders compete at the same competition and skate one after the other.

A long as Scott doesn’t bork his twizzles, I’m going with V/M. Shibs for the bronze. Basically a repeat of last years podium.

OH! This is a good place to ask this question: what is the song used in the last 20-ish seconds of H/D’s short dance? Shazam refused to find a match for me! The audacity of that app! :furious:

The heart wants to vote Shibutani but the head says the French.

 

[Alex D]

Madi & Evan, because they are so awesome

The heart wants to vote Shibutani but the head says the French.

We should have a second poll : who do we want vs who do we think it will be
For me, it's the same but still...

I'm rooting for the French to win because they are my favourite team. But I remember before NHK last year how everyone said that they'll beat V/M because of the scoring, and they crumbled a bit under pressure and didn't skate a clean SD all year after that. I'm guessing they are in a totally different place mentally-speaking though. However V/M rises more when competition is physically here. So I don't know how it will turn out, I just hope everyone skated clean

This is hard to predict. I think it will be down to who will have a good day and of course also the preference of the majority of the judges selected for the particular event. My heart is with the French but I won't say anything if the Canadians win. Both couples are great.

It certainly is!

 

[NicoleJ96B]

Does anybody know what order they will skate in? Which rankings is it based off?

 

[Mathman]

Hey, doesn't anyone want to vote for Anna and Luca?

 

[bramweld]

I want V/M to win, but the judges seem to be preferring P/C. I think I'm going to be a blubbering mess when it all pans out.

 

[sarita382]

The Shibutanis.

 

[Anyasnake]

Does anybody know what order they will skate in? Which rankings is it based off?

I think it's the reversed order of the qualification ranking (but I'm not entirely sure). So :

1.C/L
2.H/D
3.C/B
4.Shibs
5.V/M
6.P/C

I'm keeping an eye out for how the US teams place against each other :yay:

 

[gmyers]

Michigan vs Montreal! Why do people train anywhere else?!
