I don't recall saying anything about hoping our pairs will win worlds... it'd be such a stretch... I'm hoping more for a podium placement for the Canadian team of Langlois & Archetto...

however I'm not assuming.... but HOPING... that Jenny and Angela can pull off podium placements... personally I don't care if it's Michelle OR Sasha who gets bumped off, neither are my favorites by any stretch of the imagination. But I had to choose one realistic one to keep inline with the "prediction" game... so I chose Sasha... maybe I'll jinx her like I normally jinx my favs! LOL
