Does anyone know if there's an app to watch RUTube directly on a Samsung TV, without casting from laptop?

Ahh I can't wait to see that!
 
I didn't care for Scherbakova/Goncharov last season, but this music realllly suits their staccato style and they are hitting every beat.

Their dances were not very good last season. They were even losing to K/F and had to ditch FD.

But sometimes they have really good dances (like the Chess one). And I like that they are very consistent with the levels.

Today they are above Rybakova/Makhnonosov who were way above them in the last junior season. Shcherbakova/Goncharov just need good dances to be high.

I love K/F though, actually just caught up on watching last week and wanted to ask your impressions of them live, why they are so low. Granted their programs are not so interesting, but on the computer, they look super polished and smooth and her posture is better than a lot of other Russian girls, and they seem so undermarked.
 
Whoa, massive TES scores for Kag/Nekrasov... will they beat Khuda?!? Commentator says they were like a hurricane.

I like them a lot, but she is really aggressively throwing herself into elements and they need more refinement... feels like these scores are more for potential? But I will be happy if someone new can get past K/B lol.

The crowd was very quiet during their skates. Much worse than at the other teams.

I think there are several reasons for that.
1) They look kinda slow live. TV makes them looking faster.
2) Their dances are unmemorable. Both ones. Dark costumes, not the best music choices. They lost to Kuzmina/Studenikin who were 4th in juniors but have a better package now. I won't even compare to Anna and Egor's RD that is discussed by everyone. Their tango was much better than this.
3) They have no crowd pleasure elements. Like Rybakova/Makhnonosov have double cartwheel and so on. Even the first warm-up couples had such elements, like unusual slidings. Their GOEs for the choreo elements are terrible. Zhdanova/Babaev-Smirnov are weak in skating but they won ChRS score in the RD, that's what I mean.
4) Their levels are low except for the lifts and twizzles.
5) The field is just too deep. They almost missed nationals (now they are the last qualifying couple).
 
Base values:
Mironova/Ustenko 31.70
Shcherbakova/Goncharov 31.69
Shichina/Drozd 30.94
Kaganovskaia/Nekrasov, Leontieva/Gorelkin 30.57
Khudaiberdieva/Bazin 30.20

The lead in BV for M/U and S/G lets them being above than they were predicted to be.
I've noticed messy levels from Liza and Egor but didn't expect it to end like that.
