I already fear for Dylan & Lubov

Me too! And M & M too.

Do you not realize who's skating next?

 

[ancientpeas]

Come on Mervin and Marissa. You can do this.

Whoops with the song name
...

 

[Mista Ekko]

Marissa and Mervin are so good at everything except for SBS jumps

 

[GGFan]

Did Mervin land a jump??

What's wrong with Marissa and Mervin? They are both so tremendously talented and yet...
What's lacking?

No falls yet! Just a stumble on- wait for it- the SBS jumps

Literally only the SBS jumping

And that has stopped them from really ever getting the momentum that they would've otherwise

 

[GGFan]

They gotta give me more heat if they're gonna use that song. I'm also not sure why they used the live version with Alicia's wailing

 

[ruffledgrouse]

But they look amazing, as always. I hope Ashley borrows this dress in the future

Too fast and furious to fall today!

 

[cathlen]

heavens, why both Ice Dance & Pairs first groups need to be such a mess?

Castelli/Tran

I'm always surprised that this team has so much trouble on the jump elements. This time, I think Castelli had an under-rotated 3T, and at least a double-footed landing. Also a double-footed landing on the throw 3S. The other elements are all rather well-executed on technical side, so they still have potential but it just hasn't happened yet. I didn't really get anything that's Fallin' about the program either.

To me they are very mechanical. Don't like it.

More people should use Marissa's dress designer, whoever that is.

No. It's like I don't feel like watching medal contenders. I feel like watching average pair with average perspectives.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Yay P/J still in 1st!!

I liked Marissa more with Shnapir.
So far I did not find any C//T program interesting. I liked her dress though.
