ditto, can't stand the music, bombastic, no falls, well matched couple, love the hydroplane move (remiscent of B&K) & also the move where's he's flying her around him with one arm!:rock:

Come on, people, post, I'm lonely...:frown:

Somebody needs to do a proper pbp, seriously.

Hm..I wonder who designs Gorshkova/Butikov costumes. It's hideous both OD and now FD. And all this grim again.It's so wrong!
Lovely programs from Rubleva/Shefer and Hubbells.

not really a fan of their music, not bad though, unusual costumes, and each one of them has a painted black eye on their faces. Still, they appeared to me the best ones out there thus far, close twizzles, et al.

Sorry, can't help you. I watch the "Yuna-channel". Lots of pixels and the skaters lookes like monsters. Not knowing about icedance either. Just waiting for the three last pairs. :love:

Appreciating your comments though :thumbsup:

Warm Up Group 1

Zoe BLANC / Pierre-Loup BOUQUET FRA 69.80 / 138.12 overall
FD-Marine Machine(Amon Tobin) and Ramalama (Roisin Murphy)

A marble bag is hanging off the end of each of their sleeves. Brown tights for him (grey for hers with a minimalist wink at a skirt) are the order of the day. They each have large amoebish eyes in random spots. His on knee & hip. Hers on back & hip.

Love the way she jumps with a twist into the first lift.

Blew the entrance to the combined lift (her arm buckled in the handstand, but they got it back together and completed the rotational lift.



Madison HUBBELL / Keiffer HUBBELL USA 73.04
FD- "American Woman" by The Guess Who, and "Can't Get You Out of My Mind" and "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz

Madison wearing a bra with multiple straps and rather scanty panties in dark blue and black.
Keiffer in black pants, white shirt with shirt tails hanging out.

Some awkwardness getting into 2 of the lifts.

Twizzles to Lenny Kravitz-trouble with the first of them

Their usual hydroblade move is still stunning. And they use their lying down flat on each other move too.




Pernelle CARRON / Lloyd JONES FRA 68.81

FD- Adagio ( Il Divo )

Pretty conventional angsty ice dance stuff. good for a 1st year team, on the whole.

Her costume has a single bra strap. So does his, only over black rather than illusion. Lots
of dangling ragged grey fabric on her costume, shaded into black at the hem edge.

first twizzle way out of synch

Entrance to spin interesting. Spin kind of slow.

Bad fall by Lloyd in F/w

Complex rotational lift rather rough


Ekaterina RUBLEVA / Ivan SHEFER RUS 81.30
FD-Une Vie d'Amour by Charles Aznavour and Mireille Mathieu

Rubleva in a light pink shading to dark pink dress-pretty much Kim Navarro's Golden Waltz dress.
It tends to cling between her legs. He's in a fake white tux vest outfit (the vest is light purplish
shaded.

A pleasant program, smoothly skated, but nothing that stands out to me except that last lift
which had alot of positions & which had her head facing down, stuck between his thighs for a while.


Kristina GORSHKOVA / Vitali BUTIKOV RUS 70.82
FD-Phantom on Ice by Robert Danova

She's in a black & Orange rag Halloween witch outfit, more or less.

Vitali has a very large silver patch on the back of his black costume & a small orange edged silver triangle on
the front.

They each have a black eye painted on. He has half a beard painted on.

More hydroblading
She tiptoe runs after him
Unison problem in kicks with a twizzle after them
tiptoe running again. it's a theme.

I think this could use some more practice time. Parts of this were a bit rough.

And the judges really slammed them. Rubleva 10 points ahead overall.

I liked B&B and H&H's music choices. Definitely not the same old same old.

Wow, Tessa looks gorgeous in a long white flowing dress with an interesting decollege, diamonds like, like perhaps she's a bride on top of a wedding cake with her hubby right beside her in a white shirt & black pants. :)

Didn't like the music at first but then really got into it!:rock:

No falls or anything like that, at least I don't think so, didn't see any...

EDITED TO ADD: they skated to U2 and Mary J. Blige! :)
