Their choices seem very safe to me. To overwhelm their judges they'll have to work that much harder. They've seen them do these type of dances so many times before. But who knows maybe they'll give these programs a fresh twist.
Zoueva's comment in the IceNetwork article: "The program is about the man-woman relationship and how it changes throughout the seasons of life." Um, hasn't that been the theme, in one way or another, of innumerable V/M programs? At least, "the man-woman relationship" part. I just wish they could come up with something more original & interesting. Like the Carmen or Latin FDs, I guess, but with better execution. The idea of 5 new lifts doesn't necessarily excite me. I feel like V/M have been overreaching with their lifts the last few years, trying more difficulty than they can really manage well. I guess we'll see.
I am glad that they're at least using some different music. Marina said it included a waltz section, and they should do well with that.
I'm hoping the Italian reports are wrong and that Meryl & Charlie are not using Scheherazade. Although I'm sure they could do it so well, my concern is it would be too similar to the Notre Dame and Samson & Delilah programs. The short dance sounds promising, with "flow & speed" according to Marina--perfect for them!
