Or do you mean frequently overscored, considering Patch could only twizzle properly in one direction?
I was wondering something like this myself... there was absolutely no title they deserved to win that they didn't win IMO.

The dancers aren't great at the pattern this season. Note that this is a euphemism. I just watched Virtue/Moir's Golden Waltz to make myself feel better.
Well, I do agree that G&P will likely stay ahead of P&I and maybe get closer to W&P, but I'm still not sure about a G&P nationals win.
From the protocols at different competitions I've seen, many, many teams are getting the key points. I feel like last year it was a lot harder to get them? Now they're handing them out left and right like Oprah.
I agree! I see a lot in W/P's program to like. As well, IMO, it's innovative & has an edge. The season's just begun - lots of time for tweaks and smoothing out.
I think Poje had a case of the nerves not unlike several teams so far this season. More tripping and stiffness than I have seen in a long time at every Challenger event. I don't know what people are looking at when they say Poje isn't a strong skater. That is so far off from reality. Sometimes these strong opinions are coming from very subjective places and are not based on what these skaters are actually being scored on. That isn't to say we can't have subjective opinions and just love a team because we somehow receive a good feeling watching them. As far as G/P go, when they can skate a program that doesn't use robotic movement of some form or another to disguise her lack of grace and ability I will start being impressed. I do have to say though that they are about the only team so far this year that have gone out and not left any points on the ice. They are great competitors

I think I'm going to not watch the SD and FD that Hawayek and Baker did and have myself be surprised at Skate America. 12 DAYS LEFT.
I don't want to ruin your surprise, but suffice it to say they have a good FD and a very decent SD. They won't be competing for medals, but I think that's ok, I wasn't expecting them to. I think if they can get to Worlds this year it will be a huge success for them. I love them and am pleased with their showing so far.
