Oh well... same old story. I hope this won't end up taking them out of the GPF.
I'm happy they have two really strong programs and they look amazing already. H/D are the only dance team I'm really a fan of, so it's a bit of a heartbreak every time for one reason or another.

2 hours until the men's FP? Great! More time to write down answers to questions and contemplate which two I will not memorize for my test on the 8th lol.

Oh lord, here we go. Get your boxing gloves out, Canadians. :sarcasm:
So the panel of judges are all from Canada? Get over it!
I think Skate Canada "home cooking" has the worst judging of all the circuit.

and vice versa for me - they kind of surpassed the 'category' of music/program working for them for me; now, it's more like customizing each program, musical theme to them personally, to highlight THEM in front of all other elements of the dance. Their progress and character/identity development is stunning and so inspiring to see. This a mature performance of woman and man, they have their parts, characters to give out, but I feel that there is no clear, strict script for them written - it's more about flow of the dialogue of the moment, composing those lines by movements, gestures, expression. I, for instance, got really lost in the conversation there so beautifully made, the technical specifics, mechanics were far gone from my focus. And it's really difficult to focus audience's attention onto this 'difficult-to-catch/describe' part of the performance and to make it pop ahead of sole execution. For me, there's a right amount of everything there: elegance, sophistication, edgy vibe, sensuality - every emotion/impression done so in harmony with the choreography and the music, never OTT. AS much as I love WeaPo and was impressed by them, MAdison and Zach deserved silver in my book.
2nd in the FD for H/D!!!He had a bit of a stumble, but overall I preferred it over W/P. Although W/P's SD was better IMO.
Of course, people will ignore that H/D were placed ahead of W/P in the FD, and wail about home inflation putting W/P 2nd overall.... and V/M almost getting 200 points (even though they didn't get a PB in the FS - actually scored less than their 2017 Worlds FD in Finland).
Nevertheless, congrats to the medallists!
Actually, they received 116.19 in their FS at Worlds - so today they scored more. Amazing competition. V/M are just sensational. I'm also happy for H/D that they got 2nd in the free - well deserved. IMO they are better skaters than W/P. H/D new US champs this season?

I'm saying overall. I felt their SD was better than W/P as well.

One judge is getting slap happy with the "violation of choreography restrictions" button.

We had to be watching different competitions.
H/D brought sultry and sexy. The only "heavy" was on the breathing. The only "slow" was on the burn.

No worries! It's been expected and over with before it began.
Obviously, we all know the judges are from different countries, Duh!
What I don't understand is, they get to Skate Canada and they can't seem to deliver it right. Like they're under a spell of "home cooking" is all I'm saying. No need to be nasty!

I have NO problem with the Virtue and Moir scores here. They were brilliant. I felt Hubbell and Donahue outskated Weaver and Poje in both programs and deserved the silver. That they placed third and could find themselves out of the GP Final is what concerns me.

Are you forgetting that its always been a three-way tie between skate canada, skate american and COP for the worst "home cooking"? because alot of people here seem to forget that.I think Skate Canada "home cooking" has the worst judging of all the circuit.
