Predictions and Hopes

[Kwanford Wife]

I'm in a decisive mood today, so I'm not doing hopes, only predictions...

Ladies:
Prediction: Miki Ando

Men:
Prediction: Brian Joubert

Pairs:
Prediction: Shen & Xhao

No contest. No competition.

Dance:
Candians - simply because their free program is so darn boring... and I'd love to see the French. So, I'm willing have one throw away... just as long as everyone else finishes where I want them...

Gosh, I love it when I'm right... its just so in tune with who & what I am... doncha think??

boring??? how could you call that romantic masterpeice boring over the untouchables?? we have some serious diffrences of opnion of what is boring. At Lat is perhaps my favorite dance program ever.... i just wish that they were american.. so i would not feel so bad when belbin and agosto don't win.

I know... I get grief all the time about At Last...but it is sooo boring... plus, as a huge Eartha Kitt fan, I just find this version is skating to the words, not to the soul of the song. Like they were told what it was about, but didn't get the meaning - I simply can't articulate it, its a gut thing.

The French team's program this season is modern and interesting and has a twist on the traditional ice dance theme... I just like it soo much. And her killer outfit is simply so fly, I can't stand it... who would've ever thought that an ice dancer would win the best dressed award in skating. Crazy Hot.

Kwanford, I agree with you on French D & S too....

Um...isn't it Etta James?

Yup! It is... I needed a nap that day... But my opinion remains eternal...

I hate you

but Asada and Kim were the favorites, Ando wasn't necessarily a shocker given her status but it was definitely a surprise (to me anyway) to see her rout BOTH Asada and Kim to take the world championship. I was hoping Kimmie would hang on at least for bronze, but Yuna's brilliant short was too much to overcome.

Yeah, I get that a lot... it's hard to be me...

Espcially since I'm NEVER right with predictions... unless of course its Nationals & Kwan is there... ( I simply cannot help myself... its a sickness.)

I'm sure that will happen with SA... I tend to be the kiss of death to skater aspirations... so I'm doing the happy dance until October... :chorus: :chorus:
