Yesterday was indeed their best RD/SD ever, I feel that also. It was so inspiring, so totally dominating and completely exhilaratingly on top of it all.
With their performance yesterday, they proved they now finally have 'cracked' the RD code: they look now as if they're almost asking for another challenge: just throw whatever you want at us, give it your best shot, and we'll still play with it and make something out of it that is totally us and will blow your mind!
It was so masterful, so totally 'owned', and it was an RD!
While today, I felt that it was not that. It was obviously absolutely great and beautiful, and I really love Gaby's acting, which was really really great today, but for me, somehow, it wasn't 'take THIS'. While the program could absolutely be like "HERE, take thàt, ha!"
And I really was disappointed with those two arms. The narrative statement of his two arms off while she clings to him is so strong, while like this, it feels like a very lukewarm compromise between some safety, the element, and the story-line. Bleh. They did it in France, so it's not as if it's physically impossible. For me, the compromise is not acceptable, as the loss is not worth the gain.
What did I eat today? I better go work a bit or so. Just shut up, Gotlev. It's OK.
Great of course that they got the title. But unless they really stop being who they are, that's a given.
And btw: I absolutely found this to be a season to remember. Loads of great programs, really really enjoyable competitions.
Podiums too small, that's the only down side. First ten couples deserve medals.
