I never said you misquoted her, I just really don't think she disliked their SD. In fact, there was even some praise from her.
It's not what judges have problem with, although I'm sure it IS affecting their score. It is what bothers me personally. Too many parallel skating and hand-in-hand simple holds.
They WERE technically imperfect, and for once tech panel decided to NOTICE that. Nothing more, nothing less.
sometimes i forget how young paul is since he's been around that long.. thanks for bringing back some memories
I remember him from the 2010 Olympics. Well I happened to tune into ice dancing and saw him skate with his old partner...and I remember thinking he was slightly cute. Lol. did not think that I would ever see him skate in person....never crossed my mind....and then 5 1/2 years later I did at Skate America 2015.
A short video of Piper & Paul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_VlS66JCMg&nohtml5=False They look so comfortable
Their new version of their SD was my favorite of the competition! That is a great vid, by the way, and the perspective of the British commentaors interesting. If you are a fan of Piper and Paul, do watch this dance!

The original version of the Beatles SD was intellectual: its success depends on a large degree to how familiar someone is with baroque court dances and military parade movements..
This sucks, as I know that all videos on youtube are muted due to copyright. But I found this on dailymotion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x40ycl7 Enjoy!
I don't think any teams will handle Hip Hop very well for the SD next year but I guess if there is one team who could do it, it would be Gilles and Poirier IMO. They are quirky enough and can do quite interesting sharp body movements like the ones in this year's FD. If they chose hip hop, I can't even begin to imagine the type of outfits they'd go for
