Yeah that is the worst they have done in competition in a LONG time.

I also really DO NOT like the program in and of itself, but that's another story...

They could have been skating to any music as far as I could tell.

Yes it just wasn't doing anything for me... I don't hate it really but it was SO blah.

Bourne/ Kraatz skated to relax several years ago.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Nice buildup, but I'm worried about his jumps. Were they always this inconsistent? And they still haven't got a second throw triple...

FS: 115.79, 177.86, 2/4

I REALLY like Mervin and Marissa's program. Too bad they can't seem to put a clean program together, but some really nice moments and lifts.

 

[silverfoxes]

D/R got 222.61, for that? LOL, ok. Their personal best from Worlds was 221.53.

I also am starting to be concerned about both of their SBS jumps... I feel like they both used to be more consistent jumpers. I am less worried about the throw triple for now but agree it's not a great sign they still don't have one.

I like Mervissa's program (except the SBS jumps where either one messes up) but if you're gonna skate to Journey, why include Steve Perry vocals, Rock of Ages soundtrack covers and a violin/orchestra version?

I thought I heard that they got a 202 something...

No they only got 202. I think it's still a bit high honestly, but nowhere near 222.

202.61 PJ Kwong added it wrong.

Yes, definitely some really nice highlights. I liked the program a lot more this time than when I first saw it. There were some other choreo moments that were hampered by the mistakes, as if they weren't performing 100% in those moments. It was more like they were just going through the steps to the next element.

That's good. Pj Kwong tweeted 222.

 

[whatif]

So how does one get 133 with those elements and that performance????

Well there went 5 minutes of my life... I really felt like they were phoning it in big time.

Well, Marissa only had throw 2A and 3S (and twofooted 4S) with Simon - so I'm kinda worried.

No kidding. I actually laughed (and then felt bad) when they were 'swing dancing' at the end of the first section.

I had forgotten that actually... hmmm.

Joshua is not happy...
