Ah, but think of what Junhwan could do with it!I dislike it very much.
Think of what he could do to better music....Ah, but think of what Junhwan could do with it!
The Batman theme for the FS I’m more concerned about. But you know Junhwan, he can sell just about anything

I get it, exactly. But going with heart, unless it aligns generally with current stats, talent & ability, plus status, rep, and politics, your points margin in the prediction contests will not be high.Once in a while, I feel like going for the nuclear option when doing my predictions. And I did it for Ice Dance here, going with my heart rather than my brain.
The politics complaints on social media always get targeted toward certain teams.Judges' breakdown

Canadian judge managed to place L/L first
Ukrainian judge had Davis/Smolkin first
Slovakian judge had Zingas/Kolesnik second
Czech judge had the Taschlers second
With all due respect, how can you possibly know any of that is true?But looking at the scoring results to me reads like a kind of political blueprint. Fear& Gibson are solid favorites with a political juggernaut behind them. And yes, they are highly entertaining, but these are not their best programs, and she is not as skilled an ice dancer as he is.
Gleb is a very good ice dancer, while Diana is just Eteri's daughter. She gets by slightly in the RD, in the shadow of Gleb's excellence. Diana is awful in the Black Swan FD. Looking at her failure to launch as a graceful ballet swan, hurts my eyes.
Zingas/ Kolesnik have huge talent & potential, and their coach is super skilled in fs politics. I look forward to seeing their programs this season. Vadym obviously also has a lot of buzz as a former World champion in junior ice dance, with Avonley Nguyen. Plus, U.S. fed is solidly behind this team.
Taschlerova/ Taschler are fun to watch when they are on. I have enjoyed some of their performances. I'm not sure they are better than Lajoie/ Lagha, though. But the ice dance status quo apparently kicks in here, but it didn't with Zingas/ Kolesnik. It goes without saying that Fear/ Gibson are untouchable in this field. Moreover, in the case of 2nd place team, while Gleb carries the partnership, Diana is just along for the ride, and her mother is... yeah we know.
There should be a class called: Figure Skating Politics 101. And another entitled: IJS: The Art of Manipulating PCS Scores for Placement Outcomes.
what do you mean by that ? I am part of their fanbase for sure. Just here. I don't do other social medias. Some of us were following Zach and Marjo when they were very young skaters, maybe some nicknames stuck, some comments too... but infantilising? You got me puzzled here. Care to explain?a team that some of their fanbase loves to infantilise to what I consider quite an unhealthy degree

I don't think they will end up on top but a medal is definitely a possibiity.Once in a while, I feel like going for the nuclear option when doing my predictions. And I did it for Ice Dance here, going with my heart rather than my brain.
I was so tempted to put Marjorie and Zachary at the top, but after reading that they were starting at #1 (thank you @rain for pointing that out. I don't normally pay too much attention to the start orders), I decided to be cautious and put them in 2nd position instead!
Instead, I put my kids Emilea and Vadym on top! And Nadiia and Peter in 3rd!
Oh, and then I had the two British partnerships, but with Phebe and James ahead of Lilah and Lewis.
I know that as a result of this, I'm probably going to crash and burn. But, I don't care! Since so many of my favourites are here, I want to show myI don' support for them for a change!

I often say "skaters skate now for their GPS next year" and that's what Phoebe and James are doing.
I love them! He's Gracie's boyfriend who got her to skate last season so I will love them whether they can skate or not.
In dance, that's a huge advantage.Looking at the scores for the Top 4, Lilah and Lewis may have a 4.07 point lead, but it is not a big advantage.
There is nothing nice about this score Yes, they made a mistake but skating first really wasn't helpful. Some of the GOES received were very stingy. Marjorie and Zachary shouldn't be held up. That's not what I am saying. However, their RD, despite the twizzle error, was a real thrill ! and it wasn't rewarded enough for what it was. The consolation is that it's their first competition of the year, they scratched from ACI. So clearly, it's going to get better and better. They are over 10 points under their PB so that score for them is atrocious.I have to say, I am disappointed that Majorie and Zachary (5th) are 4.34 points behind the Taschlers (4th). I thought they were a sure bet for 2nd. Or at least would have been right in the battle for the podium positions. That said, I see that the PCS for the two partnerships is exactly the same, at 32.65 points.
And what a nice round TSS that Marjorie / Zachary have: 70.00 points!
