it seems like are you looking like a judge the details . is good that !!Deanna and Max look so great in slow-mo replays. Deanna looked like she was truly about to fly in the star lift.
Well Lia and Trent got 2nd place ,not bad because i thought it would get on 3rd or 4ht place

I typed a post about the very end of the conversation, where they said good bye to each other, before I saw your post
I have liked the commentary of the three I have heard so far, Charlie, Alicia and Élisabeth,

She does have a nice announcing voice, I think. As does Charlie Bilodeau, as I’ve come to learn.don't ever doubt what I say

If I’m not mistaken, both studied communications in college after their careers ended, so that may be it.
And they've improved the details of their skating so much. This is what Laurin/Ethier have to do now. She especially doesn't look like she quite owns her beautiful long limbs yet. When she does, look out for some outstanding lines. I hope they have a coach who can help with these kinds of details, getting them to stretch the lines and make the most of the positions.
Big fan of Lia and Trennt. For just 1.5 years they have shown great compatibility and talent. For a young woman, Lia really stepped up to the pressure landing her jumps nicely and not caving after that hard throw fall. They should have been first after the SP but the end result was correct, imo. Deanna and Max had an overall strong FS and deserved to win.
Also agree with your dissenting opinion.Dissenting opinion
Sadly, I think the days of having qualified and skilled sports commentators in skating are a thing of the past.

The best duo commentary in this competition for me is Ted and Kaetlyn Osmond. Hope to see more of this duo in the future. I like both of them commentary.

I find Osmond enduring, yet clumsy. She is definitely better this week than in the past but tends to speak in superlatives. I think though that she is getting better and definitely has a future if nothing else because she has a lot of experience as a skater herself, and has offered interesting Insight on behind the scenes elements of being a skater.

Isn't it funny how different people's opinions can be! I think that the pairs commentating has been excellent. A lot of insight has been shown, little details about lifts and other pairs elements that are often not explain particularly well unless the commentator has a background in pairs. I also think that Katelyn the ice dancer is doing a pretty decent job as the lead broadcaster.Dissenting opinion

Yup... these were my faves tooThe best duo commentary for me was Charlie Bilodeau and Alicia Pineault.
Usually as a figure skating fan I am wondering why I didn't major in something useful like Japanese. Not this weekend.

We were way, way more comfortable watching junior pairs than the first 2 groups in seniors. There were a lot of near misses and most of those pairs look like they are a danger to one another skating together. The last group changed the level completely and was great. Loved every minute of it, despite some mistakes here and there. We could at least breath a sigh of relief that we are nit going to see blood on ice

That's the difficulty with pairs... transitioning from Juniors to Seniors... Many of the pairs in the first groups are coming back from injuries and rebuilding the harder elements and hence, troubles happen. The last group was a completely different level for sure.. but you know, a couple years ago, Laurin and Ethier looked just about what we saw in the first groups.
What is exceptional is how Lia and Trennt have made it so quickly. Even Deanna and Maxime took much longer to gel... in that sense, Marly are very impressive and Jazmine and Kieran as well indeed. Brand new, young, and gelling quickly. Let's hope they keep evolving.
Ava and Yoni are just so special. Gosh, you really were lucky to see all this live.
