Did anyone else's stream had the commentators calling out on the pair differences? PT ESP commentator made the same annoying comment about Lithuanian pair she made yesterday, that she was too tall for him and the pair should be "rethought", and how wise Aliona was in choosing a very tall guy. Comeone, check Sui/Han for a totally different example of a team that works with reduced height difference...

SUi Han are an exception as they were kids together and figured it out but they still struggle with it too. Height difference and body types are essential.

Camille might be a strong jumper if she skates in singles. Some mistakes, but their FS was performed way better than theirs at Autumn Classic. Well done overall for the GP debut.

Can the judges take points off for using one of the worst MJ songs ever?

At least it wasn't They don't care about us. The beginning of Earth Song with the birds is kind of nice.

They are pleasantly surprised by scores. Aw.

ooooh.. white sparkly onesie!

Very creative costume for Strauss' waltz.

This satin white bodysuit is mildly disturbing.

I don't know how Russians teach the twist but I think all the couples need to go there for bootcamp.

Love it great twist too

Nathan13 · Nov 5, 2016

That is quite a onesie.

ugh...a unitard with a waltz is just wrong.

ancientpeas · Nov 5, 2016

I'm calling it a onesie.

Lota · Nov 5, 2016

Once again, WHAT is that white costume? Why are there cut-outs in weird places? Whyyy?

glorybox6 · Nov 5, 2016

Beautiful opening twist and then Alisa looks totally uncomfortable and disoriented on both SBS jumps, yikes.

What has happened to Russian pairs?

Nathan13 · Nov 5, 2016

Honestly these lifts make me nervous...they seem so tentative and like she could fall any second...

rofl, that's exactly what I thought! Onesies for toddlers and tiaras. (sorry Alisa)

Yep, that last one was rough.

And the ended so far after the music! I blame the cursed onesie.

I definitely liked these two better yesterday, even setting the mistakes aside I think they are ill suited for this kind of program. Still, they'll be interesting to watch develop too, especially if their SBS jumps are more consistent than they seem here.

Goodness the last two lifts were so scary when his arms were shaking :eeking:

and the overrun though......

ancientpeas · Nov 5, 2016

Why were they so behind the music? I don't think they'll get credit for that last spin.

Lota · Nov 5, 2016

Where did they lose so much time to finish so late?
