Ditto. I am so excited! Thrilled we are getting a head-to-head this early in the season. (May there please be a live stream. I will pay to watch).

So Mackenzie Bent retired?

I don't think she has made any official statement. Technically she & Razgulajevs split & she is not listed. Reportedly she had a tryout in Canton quite a while ago, which I'm assuming did not work out. Essentially, she is MIA.

Other than the mistake, it was actually really impressive overall. Michael got up really quickly! With out that mistake, they would have been in first easily -- they likely lost a level on the step and obviously the fall deduction. Good edge quality, close dance holds -- they really play up the ballroom aspect to avoid the sibling creep factor. I hope we get to see protocols. They definitely deserve top marks on pattern/step sequences.

Nice to see them do well. Their trademark speed is there and their pattern was really really good. I'd like to see more connection and expression -- they haven't quite clinched the Latin feel yet.

Another solid performance. They are showing some Latin feel, though I feel some of the elements seem kind of out of place in a Latin SD -- the spiral lift seems more appropriate for a lyrical FD (it's also a page out of the Maia Shibutani Fix You lift spiral).

It's going to be a crazy battle for those 4CC spots/Pewter spot.
