Lorraine and Quinn - yay really nice skate for them. they really seem to enjoy skating this program and it shows in the elements. I love Lorraine's charisma, she just got attitude in spades. they seem to be on a roll with program already. I agree, they are a great partnership. oh US national is going to be quite the spectacle this year. the next quadrennial is going to be interesting for the americans in terems of national placement and results
Laurence and Nikolaj - love the vibe that these two create in this program it's smooth and sultry. Really too bad about the fall on the twizzles. They recovered like true pros though. the rest of the elements looked good to me. the overall technique is looking good for early in the season.
Tessa and Scott - Holy cow, that was so magnetic. I personally found the music transitions to work really well. they were so in tune with one another, so close together, while staying compact, the edges were stunning. good twizzles, though Scott's still losing it a bit on the last twizzle. I like the lift bit they looked a tad careful with it. I'm not finding it to be frantic, but I hope they can work on the hold position of it a bit more, I think it would maximize the affect of the lift in a more ascetic way. it looks really refined technically already. wow. even down to the smallest details .Towards the ending the seemed to start thinking a bit so I think there is room for improvement with this. but very good skate to start their season with.
All things considered this was a very strong short dance for almost every team. what a great way to start the competition. hopefully the Long Dance can go just as well for everyone.

Piper/Paul – loved Piper's dress, and actually quite enjoyed the program. I'm rooting for them to beat WeaPo in at least the SD at nationals.
WeaPo – Hate the costumes. Don't love the program. Found Kaitlyn's hair distracting. The sexual elements don't work for me because Kaitlyn is so over the top, and Andrew is much more subdued.
Olivia/Adria – I just love this team. I love their material, and I love their skating quality. Their expression is very well-matched, and she has improved by leaps and bounds.
Danish – Actually really enjoyed the program, love their take on the music requirements. Shame about the twizzle, but EXTREMELY impressed with how quickly she recovered, and how little it affected the rest of her performance. I see them moving up this year.
Tessa/Scott – SO happy. I genuinely hated the program when I saw it in practice, but seeing it done full-out, I am incredibly impressed. I liked the no-hold step sequence, the lift was way better (though I do wish they'd do a new one), and the program in general really does work. YAY!

I was thinking "Oh no they have given Tessa tarantula eyes(that look where women have eyelash extensions with a lot of mascara and other eye makeup)"
agree with every word!Tessa and Scott- I love, LOVE the choreo, the body movements but the music cuts are so jarring. I really hope they revise it at some point because everything else about this program is great. I was initially iffy about the clothing but man, both of them rocked in it.
And their rhumba section....smooth like butter

FWIW, it seems Tessa likes to experiment for the Senior B but then eventually tones it down for the GP. Do you guys remember the super frilly dress for the Prince SD? I'm hoping there will be adjustments for the next competition.
Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm talking to you after you brought back the memory of Bobrova's Halloween Latin Dress. I had spent YEARS repressing it and you brought it all back!!!!
Just kidding, kiddo, you know I loves ya.
Yes, Tessa tends to go through several looks a season, so I'm sure this one is, as they say, for the history book.

Yeah I'm not surprised. It all seemed slight off kilter to me. Which is why I didn't have an immediate response to their program.
It wasn't the immediate Hey Okayyyyyyyyyyy that the Parsons' got out of me.

Ha, sorry to traumatize you! Only brought it back to say "Look how far she's come..." That was during my peak B/S hatin' days, especially when they beat my beloved ShibSibs.
Anyway, I will express optimism that she will move on. It was like HER version of Halloween Latin with all the black. Please, Tessa -- COLOR.
I will try to refrain from comparing the TES cause you know different panels, but yeah, Parsons definitely stood out performance wise for me. I think Lorraine and Quinn had the extroverted Latin feel but it definitely lacked the polish we saw with the Parsons.

Basically, V/M got straight +3s (after lowest and highest GOE are removed) for everything except the rhumba pattern, which is all +2. And look at those PCS. It's their first competition of the season.

Oh I know. It was the almost the apex of the Hump Shlumped Over Days (the zenith--a term I am most definitely using ironically in this case--of which is that crones/witches FD done in rags). Amazing what better posture can do for ya in dance.
Yes, well the Parsons do need to LATIN it up more. But ti was more polished and spot on. M/C need to work on their tech. They've lost some technique since two years ago. Growing pains.
Surprisingly WeaPo were my favorite SD of the night. They still have tons of work on it but looks great already. GP didn't do it for me, they are trying way too much, and the music cuts are really odd.
Lorraine and Quinn showed a lot of promise, hopefully things will go better at the FD.

Pretty good assessment. And the loss of technique is more noticeable since the Parsons really upped theirs during the same period.
Surprisingly? You're a Weapo uber lol...
