[LadyB]

That most have cost Eteri a few bob to keep her babes in first place.

Oy a stumble

Congrats to Davis and Smolkin for earning buying a medal at this event. You can say the FD hasn't happened yet--but, barring something truly unexpected, I will stand by this statement.

ETA: And that medal may be silver.

Fall?????

Oh, well that tech score dropped a lot. L/LG were first in PCS. They didn't compete anywhere between Lake Placid and now, so I would nopt be surprised if there was an injury or something that disrupted their training that led to they being a bit less sharp

 

[IceDancingQueen]

That was fun from L/L but the music was a bit samey for me and I think they need some colour in their outfits to go better with the music.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

OMG NO!

 

[lariko]

Oh look, Choke and Bates have invalid element too. Let me guess, into 4th?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Another "How did they become 1st with a fall" discourse coming up...

 

[auser]

That fall scared the bleep out of me, but good recovery.

 

[IceDancingQueen]

Oh dear Madi/Evan not another fall!

 

[LadyB]

Evan, wrong costume for all the sequences. Ah well, fine by me.

 

[el henry]

Oh no Madison (or did Evan drop her?)

I needed teams to save us now, not this

And I love Madi and Evan, but IMO this mash-up is a complete fail. Who thought this was a good idea.? Time to change RDs again....

 

[Warwick360]

If a music edit was a bingo card. What was that?

 

[cocteautwin]

This makes no sesne.

RD: 77.88 (1st)

When I saw this in practice, I loved the program. Here, I'm a lot less sold on it, although it could have been the fall. The concept is very unique - going through the decades - and the music edit at the beginning is quite clever and the rhythm sequence when clean should be amazing. As the program goes on, it feels frantic and busy, so I wish they would cut out one or two songs from this Cheesecake Factory Menu of a program, particularly in the pattern step.

 

[elektra blue]

this is how my player sounds when i keep skipping songs and i can't settle on one. who thought it was a nice idea for a program? is this a protest against the very poor decisions dance commitee is taking in the last two years?

 

[jgg220]

This program was just as tasteless and disorganized as the kiss and cry area.

Don´t worry. The Eteri marriage ring is around 25 000 dollars or something
