Well, imo C/B had it today. They've upped their speed and coverage a little bit, but also they have really brought the intensity and detail of every moment, even more than 2 weeks ago. They are bringing it.

The best resource for Figure Skating scores and stats on the web.skatingscores.com
USA, Canada, Great Britain and China for Chock/Bates
France, Lithuania, Hungary, Japan and Kazakhstan for Cizeron/Fournier Beaudry
Canadian judge have Gilles/Poirier 2nd
Briths judge have C/FD 4th
British judge has no shame , it is too obvious, man.
A lot of 2 foot skating with random arm movements. Nothing really difficult/cool. Not that it should matter in GOE if the rules are being followed, but it's easy for a judge to give high GOE when there is some sort of insane trick etc.
Why would Canadians cheat in favor of the Americans?
because they want americans getting gold?? canada is north america after all
they were always against french anyway

Dance is more intricate this season than just fed at play. There seem to be either school or philosophical division in the backdrop. Either way, leads to some interesting results.
I dunno, overall, I feel that the high energy criteria is not satisfied in this event. I do aerobics with the skaters, and these guys are not raising my heart rate very much because there are not so many lunges, mini lifts, jumps, moves with changes of elevation and the music is not all that fast. Z/K was the best in that respect.

The best program of all was of Zingas/Kolesnyk, the most elegant pair was Beaudry/Cizeron. Fear/Gibson expressed a lot of energy and good vibes. The rest was underwhelming.
Now, I have to admit, and I'm no Bock fan, but they ticked all the boxes for a fun uptempo 90's theme RD and the exclamation point for me was the lift placed at the end. In terms of intrigue, skating skills, of course FB/C, had the upper hand, IMHO, but that's not the assignment for this years RD. But its good that they're in second, its much easier to chase than to defend.

and Laurence is Canadian. if anything, the Canadian judges, if they were cheating, would favour 1) their own, 2) the French and finally, let's not get into politics but there is not much love from Canada going south at this moment... quite the opposite.
the fight for gold is between americans and french, canadian putting Piper and Paul first would embarrass herself.And she favoured their own skaters, she put GP above French even in components, lol so she FAVOURED their own AND helped americans in the same time
doesnt matter Laurence is canadian, she skates for france ,jesus

So then, the Canadian judge can simply judge the way they see it ? There is no North American love in figure skating. One of the biggest rivalry in ice dance, V/M D/W opposed Canada and USA. So no, they are not going to give Bock more points because they don't like the French.
Also, you are underestimating the fact that judges do see skaters grow over the years in the domestic ranks. And it's only human to remember how much a judge would appreciate a skater who represented their own country for many years.... A Canadian judge wouldn't suddenly forget skills they have rewarded and recognized for many years just because of a change of flag.
I understand you have you are behind FBC... I actually also prefer them to the Americans, but to suggest that the Canadian judge would favour the Americans over FBC because they are cheating is ridiculous. If the Canadian judge put the Americans first, it's because the Canadian judge thought they should be in first. And sometimes, the Canadian judges have put the American first, over the Canadians. You'd be surprised at how many times this has happened, to the dismay of Canadian skating fans

I really feel for Piper and Paul. 5 pts behind the leaders. OUCH. The judges are clearly sending them a message. In no universe should they be this far behind but that's ISU judging for you. If you are them, what do you do between now and the Olympics to up your scores? Is there anything you can do at this point?
I think the Canadian judge secretly hoped that FBC were the threat to G/P silver.So then, the Canadian judge can simply judge the way they see it ? There is no North American love in figure skating.

After it became obvious it's not the case, they will probably support FBC because at the Olympics G/P will be fighting against C/B.
Also, let's not forget it's only the third competition for FBC. Would be a weird message if they overcame C/B already in the rythm dance. I am confident that with this dynamic they are taking the olympic gold.
There is no "North American" affinity between Canada and the US.
they see it always one way..giving americans 5+ for FLAT, SLOW midline step sequence meanwhile french got 3+, thats a choice.So then, the Canadian judge can simply judge the way they see it ?

I expect the French to win the FD, but I felt they were over graded in the RD.
It's the rhythm dance. It is supposed to be high energy.
The supposedly 120 bpm part of FB/C's RD was skated 60BPM, much to the confusion of several Japanese spectators, who tried to clap to it and ended up clapping 60 bpm.
If you want standing to complain about C&B's twizzles, you should also be appalled at FB/C's lift getting fours and fives. It was totally not unexpected and involved C gliding on two feet. Also the last choreo part was mostly arm motions, so the program ended on a low note., also overgraded. Each should be credited for what they do well, but not over scored for what they don't do well.
If you want to watch efficient stroking and great gliding, try watching the 10 km speed skating races.
In ice dance, I want to see dancing. In the Rhythm Dance, I want to see dancing to the rhythm. In the FD, you can do whatever, but you should still dance.
