LOL - their programs and their performance of them are grotesque to me. It's not like I don't know the definition of the word.
You said "they are so awful and kind of grotesque". That's a personal attack.

And the Shibs are held up once again. :disapp: No way W/P should have gotten only 92 (what they would have gotten without the -1.00) for that, especially since it was much cleaner than SC. In the end, I guess it was the lift deduction that cost W/P the gold, but I don't think it should have come to that. I'm just happy that they rebounded with a great FD after their messy SD. I think this should be enough to get them to the final.
I know that S/S are great technicians, and I respect them for that. But I'm sorry, that FD was empty aside from the required elements. There was just no spark. I don't get it.
Did the Shibutanis really end that far behind the music or was the audio off? I thought they were much more crisp and fun here than at Cup of China.

I've only seen W/P a few times and I/K perhaps once before tonight. I'm a little amazed at W/P's prominence. To my eye they don't suit each other stylewise or temperament-wise, her line is gawky, and her facial expressions comical. (I love him, though!) She's like the nasty-girl villain in a movie. That moment at the end where she goes from mourning to crowing in a flash is hysterical... as is the expression on her face when she realizes they lost. Someone's going to be throwing a hissy fit.
One could argue that being held up doesn't mean you score higher than your opponents, but that you score higher than you should.

gmyers, did Maia Shibutani beat you up in primary school or something?
I respect the Shibs' technical ability but that free dance was bland and unoriginal.
I love the potential of Weaver/Poje and Ilinykh/Katsalapov's free dances but they need more mileage.
And one could also argue that one is held up only if you aren't a fan of that person/team.
Thanks for telling me! You don't feel the same way about him, do you?Not seeing this performance, I don't know how much it applies, but I've made the same comments about her behaviour for at least two Nationals.
Hahahaha! That's my favorite line of the month! Well done! :thumbsup:
