S&H are the forerunners obviously, but S&M can play spoiler and challenge them on a good day; it's a good thing they ditched their throw triple axel and made their program more consistent. It's all up to the SBS jumps. If they skate clean, they'll win at least silver and S&H will have to BRING it, which they usually do.
It's anyone's game for bronze really. T&M have the most forgettable (read, horrible) programs this year and clearly have no intention of winning gold, but they're well capable of making the podium. S&K have regressed a lot since 2015-16, but if they hit, they should medal. The judges love them (and I'm on board since they're my personal favourites).
Y&Z ooze class and refinement but their inconsistent technique will hurt them if things don't go their way. D&R are exactly the opposite; fighter spirit and attack and I'd love them to do well, but to me, they're behind in terms of PCS. They need major mistakes from other teams to land on the podium and a total meltdown of Skate America proportions to win in a very 6.0 way (as in "finishing 4th after the SP and don't control their destiny" scenario).
the lyrics "candyman, candyman" is so brainwashing, horribly unforgettable imo hahahahaha
go sui/han!! their linkage to each other and elements are in the highest quality among all pairs
