I think Nico Conforti has the potential to develop into a good pairs guy but, to do so, he needs a partner who is at least a bit closer to his skill level.

Gorgeous dress, love the little flower appliqué to tie the two costumes together. It was an okay performance for them at this stage, I think, but there's a lot of development that has to happen in the future if they stay together.
 
Ooh, Coldplay's "Clocks!" I haven't heard this song in a while! It's surprisingly good for skating to, I wonder why more teams don't use it...
 
Decent on the basics for Dion and Cote, which is what you want at this stage. I am concerned that she is going to physically outgrow him, though...

So much better than yesterday, despite this being a new program (or maybe because). The death spiral is definitely their weak spot, but they are otherwise promising and well-matched. Well done, guys. Also, she's absolutely ripped, wow.
