Some big mistakes: both sbs jumps and doubled throw. They do seem okay with their skate, giving high five.

FS: 45.24 + 42.97 = 88.21
Tot: 136.03, in 2nd (out of 3)
 
Oh the irony of my paid feed getting broken during an event after all of my posts. :p

Watching on LTV now as well.

Oh, no, Ziggy! We count on your getting to observe every moment, so you can do your report. Fingers crossed that you have no more interruptions.

Weak on sbs jumps as expected, plus some other mistakes. Some lifts seemed wild in execution.

FS: 43.32 + 42.64 - 1.00 = 84.96
Tot: 133.56 (SB), in 3rd (out of 4)
 
I like watching the lower-ranked teams a lot of the time but other times it can be scary with those falls. And I thought King was going to drop Kemp a few times during the lifts. I liked the music and costumes and would love to have seen this program really sold.
 
I just hope teh second group is a bit better than the first, because it started well but then all the others had meltdowns... However, the Italians will end up in 14, one place better than the SP!
 
Wow, huge lead for Castelli and Shnapir, but the other three teams skated pretty badly. I'm surprised C/S's score was so far off their SB, though.
 
Kemp/King's lifts actually looked better than in the past. ;)

I'm not happy. Missed the first three teams. But no worries, I'll either find YT videos or watch it later on demand on TVTeka. I tried to rewind but the video isn't working atm. Whenever something goes wrong, they do add the missing bits later though.
 
Sigh.Whoever thought C/S should dance a tango should be tested for delusions. I know people complained about Davis and White's tango, but compared to this, it was Sex On Ice. Zero passion, almost no relating. He's got as much personality as a lawn chair. She's got some real charm but I think they're totally a mismatched pair.

Sigh. I have to agree. I have always thought that he looked like a lumberjack on ice. He's big and strong, and that's about it.

Maybe the ice was too cold.
