Can't wait for free dance. Hopefully US judge Sharon Rogers going to finish russians on step sequences and we will take gold-silver together. :yahoo: Don't judge badly on twizzles or lifts Sharon. It will become too suspicious and GOE of steps higher anyway. Can't wait to see all ''-1'' and ''0'' for B/S and I/Z on steps.:yahoo: She figured out judging your teams highly is not enough, so she begin to take rivals down as well. Clever girl. :laugh: That is want I want to see from ISU judge.:laugh:

To understand joke: She scored two ''0'' for Bobrova/Soloviev in short dance. One of them is side by side steps which is excellent element got +2. Other one is for partial steps with no reason. She again scored Ilinykh/Zhiganshin -1 on pattern, 0 on side by side steps which element have unexpected entry to grade up. Even very lower ranked teams hardly gets ''0'' but our girl found a way to score. Great!

Don't forget to take down PCS Sharon!

2 Nutcrackers in a row?? I thought they wanted them to move away from ballet music (I love ballet music-8 years of ballet). Now if only this Nutcracker comes with pelvic thrusting then my day will be complete.

Good skating to all!

Sorry, what do you mean Sharon Rogers going to finish russian on step sequences? I think the shibs will win this. I'm hoping B/S get second. But really it should go to who skates best regardless of who they are. If the last place team has the best freedance they should win the freedance.

Hey, at least there's an ice break in the middle. Or worse, we could get the 1000th rendition of POTO

and since I have no national horse in this event I'm going to root for the Turkish and Israeli teams.

Why aren't H/D using Whitney Houston's version of I want to dance with somebody who loves me? (Colour me disapproving)

We had three Romeo and Juliets in a row last year in the FS at worlds for Pairs. I remember it well. Pairs skating to Romeo and Juliet is beyond trite at this point.

For those who claim Charlie White is "petty" towards, V/M, he just said that he has "first-hand knowledge" that they are "WAY, WAY, WAY too talented to EVER count out." (real emphasis on all the capitalized words)

V/M have always spoke highly of Charlie.

I don't find him petty toward v/m. I find his stick in the mud attitude about hip hop and hip hop music to be grumpy old man like.

I wish Charlie White refrains from becoming chatty when dancers do their job. I couldn't concentrate on their performances! His voice alone is really not a pleasure to hear for me unlike other commentators. No silly talks please as well.

same here - it will be a bloodbath, worse than last year's COR, however I'm already missing Weaver/Poje there, but we can't have top 3 Canadian teams there
