Whats the difference between the Tech Controller and Tech Specialist?
I'm a D/W fan but I consider V/M a very strong competitor, and they get stronger as the season unfolds. GP scores don't matter, it's the performances by both teams at Sochi that count in the end. So why sweat the small stuff?
Monko/Khaliavin - Former Junior World Champions. I thought they were very promising. Unfortunately, under Zhulin's tutelage they seem to be going nowhere. Pretty generic choreography. A jarring, sudden music change in the program. The middle part had very different character to the first and third and they didn't seem to go well together at all.
I don't think this is Zhulin's fault. They switched from Kustarova and they look hopeless then too. She is too tall for him.

Yes :/ There is a little less than 3 inches difference in their heights and it's not enough, even in dance. Sinitsina and Zhiganshin have 4.5 inches between them and I think this sometimes causes them problems too.
However, don't forget that pangtongfan has predicted that M/K will get Russia's third spot for the Olys, and that he is always right in his predictions since joining the boards!

Wow! french team was awesome!
Papadakis/Cizeron - Good performance skills, some nice detail in the choreography, but some of the elements a little insecure. They have the 'it factor' though. Really explosive presentation. I hope they can improve technically with time.
I hope not. Riazanova/Tkachenko aren't exactly looking great this season but even they are much better than the mediocrity M/K present at the moment.

Agree. I'm particularly taken with him--he's got great style out there. He seems the slightly stronger dancer right now. I don't think it will take long for this team to become France's #1 and skip right past Carron/Jones....if Papa Didier doesn't mess things up first.

I don't care for the British couple's music. It expecially doesn't work for me during the finnstep sequences.

Yeah my post was kind of a joke since pangtongfan insists his predictions are always right (there is a gem of a post in an Evan L thread about this). (Un)fortunately now I don't remember where I read his prediction about M/K (though I'm sure it was today that I read it) and now I can't find it so maybe I am mistaken. I also much prefer R/T and I also prefer S/Z despite their major errors last week.
Coomes/Buckland - The program was a little sluggish and empty at the start and the finnstep lacked sharpness, lightness and character but it really picked up in the second half with some interesting highlights and much more expression.
Slow twizzles and a messy finnstep though.
I personally loved their music. It was different and more sophisticated than what you usually see in competition.

For the record, I believe PTF is a "she."
I think it will be a bloodbath for No. 3 spot.

Papadakis/Cizeron - this team will make it big. His face and body line is so beautiful.
Judging from the TES, Judy Blumberg is in nit-picky mode again. Good for her! 
He is so fabulous, I just want to sprinkle him with lots of glitter!arty:

I think he's got more of the 'it factor' than her, but they've got loads of potential. There's something him that reminds me of Ray Bolger of all people--that kind of lanky, elastic grace.
The Brits--someone please put irreversible scratches into the cd of their music so we don't have to listen to it again. Love the lift and the ending though.
