[Karoltyna]

Yay, SB

Le sigh, I fear the judges will slot the French behind S/D and G/P, but who cares, I LOVE THEM!!

 

[Sai Bon]

WHAAAT? Only 73.50?!!!

 

[labgoat]

Okay, I agree with the judges placement wise. That is what I would've done.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I have a thing for guys.

We noticed!

Nothing wrong with showing appreciation for beauty!

Just so long as we don't do like @auser and start commenting about skaters' backsides!

Improved speed on their twizzles for Juulia & Matthias

 

[museksk8r]

The twizzle sequence for T/V was better here than at Finlandia Trophy.

 

[Sai Bon]

Juulia just looks out of place in this genre. Better with Tango, but she just looks like a ballet dancer trying to be naughty.

 

[labgoat]

This is a great program. I feel like I am watching American Bandstand with this couple.

 

[museksk8r]

Oh, Matthias appeared to have a slight stumble after the pattern dance, which is currently only level 1.

Juulia just looks out of place in this genre. Better with Tango, but she just looks like a ballet dancer trying to be naughty.

Actually I think she & he capture that era perfectly where the all-American kids were exploring the music of black artists like James Brown. They were a bit conservative at first and drawn in by the irresistible rhythms and loved dancing to those rhythms.

 

[auser]

Wow. So fun from the FINs! My favorite so far. Joy and sparkling choreo packed in under 3 minutes.

 

[museksk8r]

OMG, T/V in 1st! Could they finally be starting to receive some love from the judges?

Zachary looks like the groom at a 70s suburban wedding, I approve

Love your description, but naughty Juulia really strikes a chord with me!

They did last week as well.

 

[Sai Bon]

That was soooo much fun!!!!

 

[4everchan]

this got me so stressed out.... i mean, they have increased their energy a lot in here and it looks dangerous... but seems ok.

 

[museksk8r]

I really can’t stand the first part of LaLa’s RD, but I love the music change in the last half. A very high energy dance and it appears they did very well with the levels that are coming in from the judges.

Very nice performance from Marjorie & Zach. I was a bit anxious during the twizzles, but that may be my nerves and not theirs.
