Thanks everyone for the links and info. It's not on here (I'm in MST zone) until later on, and I'd rather watch it live, so I guess I'll stick with my Russian stream.

After Z/G which was so bizarre, this was so typical ice dance music. I liked both of them in very different ways.

If Z/G want to do a Swan Lake parody, then it's a flop. A real Swan Lake parody would be hilarious and they could probably do a bang up job. That ain't it.

A/E's program is so generic, so bland, it's like the ID equivalent of beige. And is there a single human being on the planet who thinks beige is the best color in the crayon box? They're so much better than that.

Maddison looks great! I hope she and Zach will do much better than yesterday, fingers crossed :)

Ah yes. My mistake. But there should be litigation for that.

It was definitely Marina. Before they left DSC, they were working on a free to "The Godfather," but then they left and Marina switched it.

I want to like it so badly because I love "Gone With the Wind," but I just don't feel it. I'm not sure if it's the music or the way they sell it, idk. I just...I want to like it. Maybe it'll be better as the season progresses...

That program was pretty much the polar opposite of Z/G's. And I just wasn't feeling it, it seemed somehow....inauthentic, if that makes sense.

They are so not Vivienne Leigh and Clark Gable, so not Scarlett and Rhett. For one, they're just too young. For two, she is not coquettish or diva-like at all and he is not the dashing bad boy at all. For three, they don't skate with intensity, passion, or melodrama. The program does not work at all for me. and I'm a big GWTW fan and wanted to love it too.

what do you mean? coz the program was really bad?

I'm sure they paid thousands of dollars for that choreography, and you could not get a bigger mismatch between music and couple. See what wordsworthgirl said--it's spot on. And to foist such a mismatch on them--it's a crime. I'd sue.

So which of the competitors took a scissors to the Russians' costumes before the event? How rude.

:D this, there is such a thing for Russian dancer's costumes that they almost always look like shredded "something" composed in ugly and unflattered form...

Is the back of her skirt torn? It looks like there's a hole or something and it's super distracting.

WeakAnkles, you're cracking me up again! But I couldn't agree with you more on everything ID you've said so far...

Honestly I think there's a bigger problem with Aldridge/ eaton than the choreo and it's that Daniel is a stronger skater/much more engaging to watch than Alex. And that can be okay but not when she's playing Scarlett and Carmen.
