Definitely agree that the new ending pose is better. I actually think emotionally both teams were a little off.
Tessa and Scott still need to tone it down if they're going to hit the right note with this skate. I don't need them to show me how romantic they can be. We know that... let yourself exist in this moment. Marina tailored it to your chemistry so why not allow that to happen? When they start making big faces to express their love, that's when it loses me.
Meryl and Charlie looked a little tight in the beginning. That liquid action which I think is such a hallmark of this piece for them wasn't quite there. ginger Rogers once said "When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction." I don't think any team exemplifies this like Meryl and Charlie. Really. They just need to trust that quality and let it happen. When their timing and rhythm is together man does that quality shine through. Let it happen.
Both teams were brilliant tonight, but I think we all know they have even more to offer, and I can't wait to see it.
I like their cherograpic small jumps. Normally I don't like this because in the past they are using hops only for speed. But in this dance all of them in the choreography.
