So I'm not the only one thinking spanish Stanley Kowalski does Paso Doble with Stella???Z/G bringing that Brandoesque realness to the PD. But does it work? I have my doubts...
What a PHENOMENAL skate from Andrew and Kaitlin! Such drama, verve, flair! and technical excellence.
Does Andrew get better looking every year?

The commentator said we truly were transported to a bullfight in Madrid and that's exactly how I feel. It will be wonderful to see it in Barcelona, Spain. {Knocks on wood. (Do we have an emoticon for that?)}
That was simply incredible.
I also liked the German's SD choreographed by Stephen Lambiel. I was more likely to give it my full attention because he choreographed it. (Totally shallow, right?)
W/P go very, very trad. Very trad. But it really does suit them. Easily the best of the night.
