Or, bright blue spandex, illusion on male midriffs, silver underpants ...or peek-a-boo glittery bras ... and the list goes on.
That's a very big score for E/L considering the mistakes. I'm thinking S/Z, S/S, and K/S are going to be breaking some scoring records tonight.
Back to the Americans for a second.. The judges looked quite a bit more favorably at E/L than D/B in this free skate, even though both teams had a couple mistakes each. At what point do the U.S. judges catch on that D/B have a ton of work to do in terms of polish and skating skills? They just lost by a lot to a team that up until this point, hadn't been well received internationally either.
Anyway, I'm starting to get nervous for all the top teams coming up. I hope the judging is fair and that it's not a splatfest!

David Peletier announced that he (Morosov) was retiring so that she (Volosozhar) could find another partner to medal (presumably because she can't with him, which I think is a fair assessment. He's extremely strong, though).

Finally, BBC put skating back. Italians are on! Oh boy it's "The Mission". Aliona & Robin (and Matt Savioe) owns The Mission!

Nasty fall on the 3S; nice recovery though, they're back moving well.

Bad start, strong finish for the Italians! I kinda underestimated them after watching the short. This might go ahead of Amanda & Mark.
As for Tatz, I hope she gets an amazing partner next season. Any guy would love to have her as their partner.

Whomever paired Della Monca and Kocon has an unusual sense of humour. They're practically the same size, so those lifts are just terrifying.

Next to last warmup group on the ice; rather noisy, both Canadian pairs are in the group. Given how high the marks are ... this could be an interesting couple of flights coming up ... let's hope for judging that doesn't make the skaters AND the commentators very obviously go "hmmm...." and squirm uncomfortably.

That's what I first thought too. Im very happy for E/L they've outdone themselves, but if that kind of long program is getting 114 points. The final flight teams will be getting 140+ at worst.

The first throw was downgraded (fair). Low GOES on the lift, mainly. (for the Italian team)
