As much as I like Ellie and Danny, I wonder if Danny is just a placeholder to help Ellie gain her skills and confidence with a strong partner. Maybe Danny can hang in for a few years, I hate to call 33 "old" but the wear and tear on your body must take its toll. Danny's broad shoulder, large body type seems to hold up better than others and he certainly has the skating skills. I really enjoy East of Eden and how they are emerging that step sequence to really sell the music.

Did the audience react a bit similarly to the audience at Nationals? There's something about East of Eden's soaring music that somehow lifts a performance (as long as it's going well) and draws in the audience.
I didn't quite get the same reaction from the Shanghai audience but the numbers were much smaller and perhaps this style does not resonate in the same way. But I think it was a wise choice of music for a young skater like Ellie to experience the power of music.

Me too! I think (and hope) they'll take this performance of their SP as very good progress. I felt like Chelsea's confidence has taken a forward leap. (of course, sometimes there's a step forward and two back, as in this comp. But it's a process.
Also, they've said, and I believe, that it's not all about the result, but that they're working step by step and most importantly, enjoying their skating.
That's something that comes across so beautifully for me. Both programs, there's Chelsea's mega-watt smile, and there's Balazs' wry, laconic style ... and they fit together and contrast nicely.
Yeah I admired Chris's optimism since G/GM skated. But then again, he wasn't far off!Did I get the impression throughout the rest of the competition that the president of their fan club was doing the commentating? Oh, surely not! Really, he was only just a smidge:(But I did quite like them myself so his exuberant enthusiasm brought a smile. And yes, I do know who the commentator was.)

Danny has said he was in it until the next Olympics and barring injury I do believe that is his intention.

Yes. I meant all 3 countries in North America. I might as well just shut up after a certain time because I'm not going to make any sense.

Deanna and Maxime was amazing in spite of the fall of maxime but their FS was great and it could better yet without that fall of him ,the surprise for me is Ellie and Danny ,it was beautiful their FS and they have a lot of potential , the music is classical for me and i think it does fit to their style if never would happened the fall of Ellie because had a bad weak land foot (maybe a distraction lapsus) they would be the 2nd place
