Ice Dance - short dance

The Shibutanis are so boring, they are boring after B/S
they have no fire, maybe because they are siblings their capabylities will be limited ?
 
that is why they are rigging it.
they lost and moir complained, bitched and did everything this year at gpf. guess what they won free skate =did have enough point to win overall so guess what rigging competitions since.
ogm lost didn't like it-cant hacked it-poor sportmanship on his part. cant have that-so guess what now lets rig all competitions later for v/m. to win. and butched u.s kids scores like d/w and shib was a bit low compared to rest.
hubbell and donohue was 5 points to high.-should have been a 55
 
This statement does not make any sense at all.I do not think anyone here would dispute these results at all. If anything V/M were undermarked.

So pleased they skated that well, not sure where it will come though! Seemed to really pick up momentum as the program went along.

Davis and White's score was a little low, but the Shibs have struggled with the type of SD this season and weren't expected by most to repeat as bronze medalists this season.
 
I really wish I liked V/M. It would make watching figure skating so much more enjoyable and easier. :p
 
great job--that shows how it is done--pechalat and bourzat.

v.m are boring--yes it is easier to do last years program and improve on it.

they really didn't change it and make it better. all they did was skate a bit better. nothing special
v/m. arent in a league of their own.

personally i would have p.b 1st
v/m2
d/w 3


shibs 4-5

of course candians can't understand it- since rigging it for v/m. due to outburst.
rigging --you skaters wouldn't know it when see it why-your are inside not outside looking in from no special way-just want best one to win.
you have favorites push them at expense of other skaters, teams. so you wouldn't know and deny it existence at all cost.-why might affect you favorite skater and team.

Also worth noting that the Shibs PCS finally got up — They are virtually tied with the C/L, W/P and I/K and B/S (32-33 range). It was their usually strong area that let them down today. That is a bummer considering they are usually strong technically.

I'm conflicted about the Shibs. I think being bro/sis complicates things far more than it benefits them. I won't quibble with their technical skills -they're quite good but they lack passion, attitude, pizzazz and a maturity that comes with age. Physically, their short stature makes it difficult to create much line and some of the costume choices for her have done nothing to "mature" her. In fact, this SP dress looks like a junior ladies dress and not a senior dance dress. Perhaps I'm being unfair - I'm willing to rethink it.

IMO, the only US dance team that "brought it" was Hubble and Donahue and good for them.
 
P/B were amazing, I am so glad they are in third place!! Tessa and Scott are simply in a league on their own. And I am not even a fan to begin with
