lol Madison's fierce look to Evan during their opening pose: "Don't F this up!"

They were good. I like this program for them. I agree they should win the free dance but not the overall.

They were too far behind after the SD, and the Shibs scored 117, so the door wasn't even left open for them.

They had enough at one point, but technical panel docked them down on one of the the step sequences.

I loved C/B. I though they were fantastic but I thought their twizzles were very slow.

I think C/B were underscored in the SD and that will be the difference.

Wow, that was close! Good for them C/B, they were the standout pair for me today.

Honestly, that was a great program....I think it's appropriate...Shibs win SD, Chock and Bates win FD.

I think chock bates are better. Should have won.

C/B had the same thing happen to then at Skate Canada - win the FD, but lose due to the SD. Frankly, I didn't think they should have been that far behind the Shibs in the SD because I find the Shibs pattern to balance lacking.

I really hope the ladies free skate isn't as dramatic as the dance free. My heart wont be able to take it.

So... those people saying Elliana and Alex weren't ready to go senior and wouldn't do well should probably rethink that position.
(even without H/B's mistakes they still would have been 5th)

Hardly a C/B fan, but I think they deserved the win here.

V/M were scored at 113, which is around 3 point lower than what they score internationally for worse programs. They missed some levels, apparently.

With C&B getting a 119+, would H&D have beaten them without the fall? I don't think so.

Shibs have a much more enjoyable program, but they need to step it up and not skate cautiously at Worlds.
