I love this result. Hoping for Weaver/Poje to win the competition so they can get into the GPF and stay in the game.
I'm shocked the judges put Stepanova/Bukin that close to the Shibs. I mean, I totally love their SD this season, but they skated it better at Skate Canada. Like, a lot better. She looked considerably less sure-footed to me this time and they totally rushed the ending. Whatever, I guess! The Shibs are boring this season.
Got my chichen nuggets, coffee, and cherry cock and made it back just in time to catch the Shib Sibs.
I didn't see any major mistakes, but like so many of the hip hop teams they need to add more punch. Especially Maia.
Cherry Cock......Hang on, I have to go get coffee.
They were not good at the Worlds. They made errors, but then again so did C/B & they still got a medal.
Boy, Cannusicio and McManus were a major disappointment. The blues pattern was small and slowwwwwwwwwww. And the one thing that has always made them stand out was their style. And this program really doesn't have any. It's all so blah. Well good news for Hawayek and Baker I guess, but what a disappointment.
Nota bene: Colin McManus has been fighting a bug since Tuesday .

Sorry, I don't know whether Colin's illness has been mentioned/discussed earlier in the thread (which I have not been following).
Hope he is feeling better for the FD.
Go, Can/Man, ... and go, Shibs :yay:.
(Sorry that Paul/Islam had to withdraw .)
That was an exciting SP from Weaver/Poje. Helps that this was actually Blues rendition of Michael Jackson's music. Most of the couples here are doing more Soul or Country rock fusion music than actual Blues.
I was hoping that the Shibs would improve the performance aspect of their SD from Skate America, which I felt was understandably a bit more reserved since they were debuting their routines at SA and had not done any prior events to test their programs out in front of an international panel. However, this performance seemed to be a step back. Maia tuned out some time in the middle of that performance, you saw that in the end of the Twizzle sequence as she didn't punch the end nearly as much as she did at Skate America. They received a level 4 for the pattern but their partial step is still level 2. I think they need more choreography throughout the partial and add some flourishes to the pattern because it looks slow and methodological right now. They are better skaters than that as evidenced by last year's SD where they had a lot of content, speed, and attack. Their lift is also only level 3. I think they need a new lift because I don't really get how that goes with the program...it seems more of a COP lift to me. Their PCS and GOE is still promising though, and here's to taking it up a few notches in the FD.
What is happening here?!? I clearly missed out on this epically rowdy thread last night.
Honestly, it wasn't their best performance -- and I mean we only have one other performance to compare it too -- but I hardly think it's a meltdown. Also, they did improve on the non-touching step sequence--they got a level 3, so that's something.
But yeah, given the horse race that is ID, any misstep can be costly.
I really enjoyed the Shibs program at Skate America, but the acoustics today at the CoC rink made watching videos of their performance unbearable. Putting it on mute just isn't the same.
I love seing Maia take on a Beyoncé style diva persona in this program.
WeaPo did a much better job selling their program here, though I still want to take a nap during the elevator music in the first piece. As for those twizzles, Dreamboat Andrew, get it together already!
We were tired last night. Someone wanted to wash lubov. I blame the energy drinks.
I slept but we might get 8 inches of snow on Sunday/Monday and I have to go work in the yard.
4everchan was going to work at 2. I have no idea how he will manage.
