Haha some acting while the Biehel siblings get into their positions.

Jessica-Lee Behiel / Jackson Behiel

She in blue-purple flow dress, he in sweater vest.

Twizzles okay

Clumsy exit of lift, not sure if deliberate or not

Lack of precision in steps, but okay

Spin needs more speed

Jessica-Lee smiles nicely at the end

Debbie goes: 'That was cute...guy meets girl.' Ted interjects: "Sister!"

Ted says: "Carried theme well throughout the program. Can see so much emotion."

Aw the KnC giant plushies are back:agree:

Nadiia Bashynska / Peter Beaumont

Skating to Cinderalla. She in white dress, he in interesting grey-vest-white sleeved top.

Nice opening spin. Nadiia's foot catches the ice slightly on exit but not disaster

Lovely spinning lift

Costume change! Into simple blue overlay

Nice twizzles, close together

Stationery lift interesting, could have been more precisely executed

Nice ending.

Well I enjoyed that!

Ted says: "I am a bit of a sap for good storytelling. That was really cute, charming, as well as well-skated. The music didn't get away from them. They were really connected to it."

Score: 79.93 - 132.29 total into 1st!

 

[LaArdilla]

Awww, Nadiia and Peter were really cute.

Olivia McIsaac / Corey Circelli

Not quite sure how to describe Olivia's dress but I like it. Kind of orange fire top with grey skirt, Corey in grey.

Nice spin to start

Stationery lift well done

Nice twizzles but a little far apart

Little bobble on sequence but nothing major

Nice split leg rotating lift

I enjoyed that. Very nicely put together.

Ted says: "Beautiful program. Wonderful delivery. Wish we could know the story before watching, so we could understand every move. Strong emotionally, strong technically."

Stationery lift okay

Good fast twizzles, little bobble from Miku in middle

Change in tempo

Very nice fast rotating lift

Very sweet performance!

Ted says: "Beautiful. It was deep with joy. Beautifully done. That's why I love Dance...it's like going to a variety show (comparing to previous performance)."

Score: 83.78 - 139.31 total into 2nd

 

[SnowWhite]

That's such a fun program from Emmy and Aissa.

 

[tabsy]

Emmy Bronsard / Aissa Bouaraguia

It's Greatest Showman time! He in red waistcoat, she in grey tulle with red belt

Very nice, tight fast twizzles :agree:

Nice steps, but missed the middle

Energy is very good! I enjoy this program a lot. Emmy looks happy

Ted says: "Her smile lights up the city. Aissa had a disappointing skate yesterday, but skated lights out today.

MFD in grey blazer, high boots.

Too many good teams, not enough JW spots :sad21:

Score: 93.97 - 149.87 total into 1st!

 

[SnowWhite]

Marie-France and Benjamin Brisebois make a very attractive KnC.

 

[tabsy]

Natalie D'Alessandro / Bruce Waddell

She in black dress with gold patterning, he in red top with gold patterning.

Nice fast twizzles in good timing with music

Stationery lift good with music

Lots of well executed sliding movements

Spin a little slow but good positions

Lots of nice precision and flourishes

Very fast movements, good synchronisation

That was well done!

Ted says: "What a powerful performance. The intensity of the music was matched by the intensity of the performance. Posture is so strong."

Score: 97.04 - 155.79 total into 1st

 

[SnowWhite]

I was unsure about Carmen+Malaguena for them at the beginning of the season, but it really suits them.

 

[Mrs. P]

What a great skate for Natalie and Bruce! Just a great set of skates in general and we’re not even in the final group!

 

[jillredhand]

So glad that Emmy and Aissa did well. Here for the last group!

 

[SnowWhite]

The last four teams are all moving up to senior next year (if they stay together), so the order of the teams below them is also important for next season.

 

[jillredhand]

Galiyanova and Lochhead have fabulous lifts and carries. Slightly slow in the middle twizzle set, but they really impressed me. Very nice.

 

[LaArdilla]

That warm-up collision was scary! They did very well here, though.

 

[tabsy]

Irina Galiyanova / Grayson Lochhead

In matching pink satin

Accidentally deleted PBP.

Apparently there was a collision in the warm-up and Grayson got tripped up, so they did very well!

Very flowing, lyrical performance. Good job!

Score: 86.07 - 145.65 total into 3rd

Ellie Fisher / Simon-Pierre Malette-Paquette

Skating to Les Mis medley.

She in lovely simple dark purple dress, he in grey waistcoat

Nice twizzles, close together and fast

Nice spin, maybe a little slow but in good timing with the music

Nice one-foot segment

Very good stationery lift

Slightly clumsy transition movement

Lovely dramatic ending after rotating lift

These guys are good! :agree:

Ted says: "Twizzles nice and close and fight. Simon-Pierre so solid on that lift. Good ice coverage. What a great dance for them. Just so many great teams."

I think MFD has put on a red scarf to change up the look slightly.

Cute plushies in the KnC!

This competition is so good

Score: 92.55 - 152.78 total into 2nd
