Do you mean kissed bronze goodbye or just sealed it (as in getting it)?
I think it is obvious he meant kissing it goodbye, and I would have to agree.

I only wish I were as "unattractive" as Meryl! Insipidly pretty? Heck, no. Dramatic and captivating? In spades.
Not completely happy with the judging either.
D/W always skate lights out with alot of speed and lightness. I thought they deserved 1st overall however i really thought V/M should have won the freedance portion of the competition with their Carmen. Such drama, attention for detail and expression. Complex choreography, its truly a masterpiece. Not only that but when we are learning compuslory dances V/M have all the qualities we learn are the most important in dance. I could watch their Free over and over, don't really care about a level for a step sequence ,i would have given them the Free dance portion but second overall. Carmen is a work of art.

Read in a Boston Globe article this morning that Meryl Davis is dyslexic and has no depth perception. Didn't know that. She doesn't like to talk about it and that's probably why it is news to a lot of us.
Our "community" grew this week in Sherman, TX. We had a live Skype with our Olympians, Charlie White and Meryl Davis. It went as planned and the children thoroughly enjoyed it, but something magical and unforgettable happened mid way through. Meryl and Charlie were both asked the question, "Did either of you have any struggles in school?" Meryl began her story. She said she was Dyslexic. She stated she had been diagnosed when she was in the 3rd grade and that reading was difficult for her until the 11th grade.
A student of mine was changed today for the better and the fact that he now KNOWS someone, a celebrity you might say, that is like him made him hold his head a little higher and that, right there, is why Classroom Champions, is an amazing program that lifts up spirits.
Thank you Meryl for being so open and honest about your struggles. Because of it, I have a young man who goes to Dyslexia class now smiling because he knows it will one day get easier.

I don't think V&M can get the gold with romantic programs. They used this so many times on SD and FD. Almost all of show programs too.
He's seriously over-dramatic for no reason. Meryl's hair, it's just nasty. She looks like a cheap Snow White.
Listen they're the rivals of my favourites and this afternoon they won. I'm upset and the only thing that makes me feel better is to write something bad even if deep down I know there's nothing wrong with her looks and their performance. It's childish on my part, but damn it feels better when writing nasty stuff even if you don't believe 'em.
Sorry, her nose is like a woodpecker....She is a very unattractive woman but she is an excellent dancer and skater and they deserved to win.
Kid, does your mother know that you're playing around with her computer?
I think it's the 'we have to make you look mature' approach.
This is why all skaters end up skating overused, dire, dull, classical or pseudo-classical music. Because apparently that's what being mature is.
In respect to V and M and romantic programs yeah I think they might do that next year. They can do it better than D and W but I think the judges have swung to D and W. It will take a miracle now for V and m to regain their past glory. they make mistakes now though their Carmen in my opinion won the freeskate but they were so far behind it didn't matter. I think the most pleasant surprise is Weaver and Poje and I and K. Really sad to see I and K fall apart; just pathetic. Ihope they have an ephiphany. Nice work from Chock and bates. Here is what I see needs to happen I and k, V and m will need to have amjor revampsoff season work ton techincal skating and artistry. If they don't make major changes they will go nowhere. Russia barely earned 3 spots. how sad.
