I'm not so sure - I think G/F are at a different level, and gold is in the bag for them at Europeans.

I agree - I just don't trust that the judges think the same!

Now that we are starting to see the Montreal teams’ programs, I find myself really, really curious to see what Chock & Bates have. Will they, too, be returning to well-trodden ground? Stay tuned!

I quite liked their Imagine program and it would be nice to see them go back to classical lyrical. But they changed coaches and it's all been quite modern since.

There was somtehing on ice. I heard the cleaners was wondering what it was.

There is a bird in the arena. It dropped some carbage down onto the ice from the roof beams. Not the first time. This has happened on previous years too.

Has anyone ever had the idea to use Rhapsody in Blue as a love story between a flight attendant and pilot, dressed in United Airlines uniforms? Because I think it's such a bad idea, it would be amazing to watch. In fact, this is kind of my head canon for G/P's FD...

I have a theory that the airline company has sponsorship money for any skater who uses their theme song, provided they only have a blue costume.

Rhapsody in Pale Blue.

 

[labgoat]

I'm kinda stupid here so enlighten me, who are going to be challenging G/F for gold?

Chock & Bates

 

[labgoat]

It's too conventional for these two. Last season's free dance was phenomenal, this one blends into the background.

I'd like to see them do a John Denver Medley - Thank God I'm a Country Boy!

I can hear Kate Bush in the background - has anyone skated to her music - if not, they should.

Viktoria Helgesson skated to This Woman's Work in 2015, the first season vocals were allowed.

Chock & Bates

At Worlds, they definitely will be, but not at Europeans

 

[labgoat]

What is on the back of Kaitlyn's right knee - a white piece of tape?
Also why are all her dresses so high-waisted?
I thought the correct cut for her was on the Saturday Night Fever dress.

 

[La Rhumba]

I can hear Kate Bush in the background - has anyone skated to her music - if not, they should.

Astonishingly this amazing performance didn't win, but it moved me to tears. Kate Bush's "A Woman's Work" with The Handmaid's Tale. Stunning.

What a haunting, moving Free Programme to Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" in 'Handmaid's Tale' uniforms. Simply stunning visually! Superb Choreography & Perf...

well well... i watched HB and FBS.

I am not planning to read all 5 pages of comments... so maybe some of the things I will share have been said... or not... or disagree completely with the public opinion.

HB ; I really enjoyed their FD... probably just as much as I disliked their RD. I think this will serve them well.... I thought it was a bit static at times, and considering their usual speed and ice coverage, it was surprising. I would love to see this live at the rink.

FBS : I feel these two got themselves two very nice programs in opposition to last year. I loved the music. I loved how it built up. Lifts were amazing. Lots of control. This FD is catering to their strengths and they great presence on ice. It looked very polished for a team that hasn't competed in the summer events.

Are these dances crazy original? Nope... but that's okay... as long as they are beautifully done.. i am fine with this... I am looking forward to seeing Piper and Paul... i don't think they have been assigned any challengers....(have they?)

Also, I was sleeping yay! So I didn't catch the others... I will try to see them later on the rewatch thread which is the best thing ever on this site this weekend Thanks @labgoat

Thanks, but the midnight gal has been up 23 hours and there are very few videos to add right now, so I'll be hugging my pillow until later. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to you!

HB - lovely FD, although inferior to their brilliant Chopin. i'm hoping for better results for them than a challenger silver

TT - i think they are great but the voiceover in their FD is awful. just awful. also they were slow and plodding in the 2nd half of the program. they should get better programs and work on their stamina

No Challengers for G/P, they must plan to debut at Skate Canada. I'm looking forward to seeing what program choices they've made this season!

Thank you for sharing this - wow - it's stunning - just beautiful interpretation.

Just getting caught up - I love the rivalry that we're seeing between H/B and FB/S! But I'm also conflicted about it. Canadian bias says I should love FB/S more, but I've always had a soft spot for H/B ever since they won Junior Worlds.
