2014 Skate Canada Free Dance 11/01

[cptnhastings]

There were definite twizzle problems. Looks like Canada's going 1-2.

 

[WeakAnkles]

M/K to me are like the ID equivalent of a faked orgasm: it may look like and sound like the real thing, but there's no genuine pleasure in it. I don't buy one second of that program. Not one.

Why did H/D get a deduction?

 

[rosacotton]

Not used to so much kissing in the final moments of the dances...

 

[flutzy13]

Really not feeling H/D and I've loved their prior programs. The music cuts felt sloppy and jarring even though I appreciate their charisma and their edges. They also looked slow. I don't think they have a prayer of closing the gap with the Shibs let alone C/B. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I don't really see them making the World team with that over Hawayek and Baker's soft, pretty R&J which will go over much better with the judges.

lol! No kidding!

 

[auser]

Nice speed by M/K, but I found the program a bit frantic in places. Also, their costumes reminded me of skunks.

She de-skunked in the K&C

 

[charmblade]

She looks gorgeous but Andrew is too hot for that brown mess of a costume.

 

[gravy]

Gravy, are you joking?! They ARE a couple?

No. I meant "they are not a couple in any sense." Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Doggygirl]

W/P high tes 48.2 their tes 52.32
I'm reporting tes from the screen box which is usually different by the time final scores come up.

Wow love that from w/p.

Agreed! That's an awful costume on Andrew! I understand what they're going for, but it doesn't work for me. The contrast between their costumes is just too great.

 

[rosacotton]

Great skate from W/P. I think I prefer their tango from last season.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Awesome program by W/P!! Lots of speed, energy, passion, and great skating skills!

I had to remind myself that close holds in dance is a good thing. Otherwise I would have been yelling at Katelyn to move her head cuz she was blocking my view of gorgeous Andrew

 

[NoNameFace]

this dance from Kaitlyn and Andrew will be something special later after whole polishing thing...Already goosebumps !

 

[bramweld]

Now that dance from W/P is starting to gain character. But my favourite performance tonight is G/P.

really? I'd heard otherwise . . . from an inside source. . . but wanted confirmation. I WISH they were.

Now what about Andrew and Kaitlin??

 

[cptnhastings]

Agreed! That's an awful costume on Andrew! I understand what they're going for, but it doesn't work for me. The contrast between their costumes is just too great.

I don't get it. Was she the sun and he was a tree that she was growing? They were skating to four seasons so that's the only thing I could come up with.

I had no problem with his outfit myself, but I seem to only ever have problems with the crazier outfit choices.

 

[dorispulaski]

What was Madison's injury? I don't recall right now.

Torn labrum. She had surgery after Nationals, AFAIR.
