Anyone know the theme of T/S program? I'm trying to figure out the costume.

 

[museksk8r]

I <3 Pushkash and Guerreiro! I hope they are televised in the US! :yes:

Yeah, I wish they would show more SD on tv.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Carron/Jones are hurting my eyes and ears.

Yeah, I haven't been able to warm up to this team either. I never like their programs.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

I'm gonna go ahead and blame the camera work for that one, because B/S were not impressive. But I like them.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

61.69. Correct(ish).

 

[museksk8r]

Yikes! Bobrova/Soloviev were beaten by teammates Riazanova/Tkachenko in TES and were nearly beaten by their other teammates Pushkash/Guerreiro in TES as well.

 

[Spun Silver]

None of these teams have looked very Latin to me. The hip and shoulder wiggles just aren't doing it for me.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

W/P were quite solid. Krylova was steely, though, so I'm wondering if they missed something.

He had trouble on the twizzles, almost fell, but saved it(sort of). To me, they looked better than in China, the program seems more "together". But their score in China was too big, 61 is ok I guess

 

[Violet Bliss]

Good for Caitlyn and Andrew!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Big oooops for Charlie.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

That was solid, but ragged opening. Very curious what the scores will be.

 

[Spun Silver]

Oh no, Charlie fell! What happened?

Wish Meryl would look at him more, judges/camera less.

 

[Mirunna]

I had horror visions seeing Charlie made that mistake(remember 2008 Cup of Russia OD?) but this time he held it together. They looked a bit off today. I had the impression he was trying to catch her the entire program. This will lead but I don't know....the Canadians were better today for me

69....:disapp:

Looks like he caught a rut, the B. Eurosport guys said. Just going flat out and it caught up to him a bit.

That was the first thing that came to my mind too! I don't think I will ever forget the 3 falls in the OD in 2008. That was such a disaster it was almost funny. Today, he seemed kind of off throughout the whole first half, but nice comeback.

69 is kind of high, but I did think they would be placed ahead of the Canadians. Though I have to say, I really prefer V/M's SD much more than D/W's this season.

marks for White/Davis

Is it only me that thinks those marks are a joke - they took a long time to recover from the slip by Charlie but beside that, the program was slppy and she was off in the swizzle section - I dont get it at all ?
