Happy for G/F!

 

[Axel Rose]

I sense the Italians will have an advantage skating in Europe….

 

[YuBluByMe]

YES! Here we go!

 

[VickB]

nor did the French Canadian judge who praised Piper and Paul for being in the moment and so so so refined on every musical note...

I think the judges do not count overall mark and entire package.. ie consider a work of art or a work of excellence in every manner...

Charlene and Marco are so happy; good for them, enjoyable skate!

Time for the aliens

 

[Baron Vladimir]

They were not into G/F skating that much either this time

Never seen Gilles Poirier live, but in tv, they skate small. And that’s usually hard to tell. Not surprised they’re not ranked too high.

I've seen them live. They're wonderful, big ice coverage, great lifts, brilliant expression.

 

[Ares]

That score for Guignard/Fabbri ...my jaw dropped!

 

[SarahSynchro]

if you like his name but have never seen him.. you are in for a treat

Welp, now I know what I’ll be doing next when the after-event verbal wrestling match begins in here.

 

[Jasira]

Love that program for C/B

Never seen Gilles Poirier live, but in tv, they skate small. And that’s usually hard to tell. Not surprised they’re not ranked too high.

I think part of the program is that they basically skate like two friends, and really lack passion. Or, if it's passion, it's kind of introverted. Patrick-Chan-esque, almost, but with Patrick he as so incredibly superior in his skills and choreography, that it usually worked. GP are great, but not that level, so the introverted style only works once in a while, with a really great program (like the past two years). Have a program like this year, and it's entirely forgettable.

That said, sometimes they seem to have so much speed and flow...

 

[SarahSynchro]

I should start taking bets. How long until a commentator says “This program is out of this world!”

 

[cathlen]

I like this program. Do we know if C/B will continue skating?

 

[momrk]

I always love the Italians

 

[Pairluv]

Aliens FTW

 

[TT_Fin]

May I hate also this music?

 

[momrk]

C'mon C/B!!!!!

 

[Axel Rose]

The more I see Chock and Bates, the more nuances I see in the story. So cool.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Yess! Wonderful, triumphant moment for Madi and Evan!

 

[GGFan]

C/B deserve an award for believing in this program all season. It went from being weird and a miss to be being fascinating and a vehicle that makes them stand out. The lifts and transitions are amazing. I thought this team was dead but Montreal brought them back to life. Congrats!!
