I just wish that everyone would go clean, so many good SD there!

looking forward not only to see 'big guns', but also Kana and Chris and Polish Natalia and Maks :cheer:

sabinfire · Nov 22, 2016

Pretty good line-up, just a shame the GPF qualifiers are all but decided at this point!

cathlen · Nov 22, 2016

I can't wait to see how Kana & Chris has improved during these 5 weeks! Very good line up, and curious how teams will be standing with each other. Is P/C better than V/M? Will C/L keep his position over S/K? Which American team will have upper hand this season? And how good can Kana & Chris get? I hope there won't twizzles mistakes or other bizzarre incidents that seem to be almost every GP event.

good pointers, as for V/M vs P/C my humble opinion is regarding SD Tessa and Scott has better program: more characteristic, fluid transitions between rhythms, great details and the Prince music really suits them, enabling their personalities to shine, particularly Tessa's, BUT they have to execute it perfectly, hitting all levels if they want to stand a chance. As for C/L vs S/K - this could go either way to be honest and I'm still debating switching them in my predictions, it could be about SD levels...Definitely looking forward too seeing Kana and Chris who have one of my fave FD this season, she is just an exquisite performer to watch!

I am anxious to see Hawayek and Baker. I'm hoping that both their dances have continued to grow. I would love to see them break 100 in the FD at an ISU event.

Me too! I wish they renew their PB in the SD after their JR. World title and break 100 in the FD, so I hope they can earn above 167.

Same here! I've become an avid fan, and their SD and FD are both in my personal top two this season.

I think we will see just how much ahead PC are of VM. I am sadly predicting Weaver and Poje or C and L will be dumped in a major way on the world scene this year - hard to pick which team though.

From your keyboard to God's ears. I thought Hawayek/Baker should have broken 100 at the Autumn Classic earlier this Fall. They skated their FD beautifully at that comp.

Sugarpova · Nov 23, 2016

nah I dont think my SK have a chance against CL but I expect a good fight in the SD!

Kana & Chris FD is definitely 1 of my fav FDs this year so good luck to them!

Im actually more ineterested in lower ranked teams than VM vs PC fight :laugh:

nocturnalis · Nov 23, 2016

I'm really surprised how much people like the Lindy Hop part of P/C's SD. I don't like it that much at all. Unoriginal choreography and odd choreography (most swing is though). Really like their Blues part though.

Mango · Nov 23, 2016

Whatever happens I hope everyone has skates they're happy with. This will be the last time we see some of these teams until 2017, so I hope they all have satisfying performances.

Woah, Polish team skating dead last :drama:

Nice that V/M and P/C are in different groups and I hope Kana & Chris will get the crowd started!

I really love the second part.Hopefully they will have even more speed after the SS.It's a great ending to the dance.I think maybe V/M may win the SD and P/C FD and overall.
