If scores are 2-2-2-2-2-2-1, last 1 will not count. If scores are 2-2-2-2-0-2-1 now we had to count last 1 which actual lower score we need to let go. Please don't justifty giving +2 element to 0 because it will not count. If you does that all the elements? While doing complete opposite to other teams?
Just look at number 7 judge which is Sharon. I would have understand If she is pesimistic judge who give everyone bad scores. But she scores third ranked US team better than bronze medalists of competition which is russian. If this kind of judging is OK for you now, don't be angry to russians later.
By the way final scores of H/D and B/S is not ''that'' much.

The US judge could not have been more transparent. I am glad that so far it's not the Russian judges who showed the most blatant bias on all the scoring sheets.
Same for me.
The music doesn't have the "tension", the increasing intensity of last year ... I was waiting for it, but never came ...
And I like A LOT Maya and Alex. And it true, they have, now, the confidence of the champions.
As said, let's see how the LP develops ... there's some time until march ...

The most entertaining program (that was not Ruslena because I am biased) for me was surprisingly Kana and Chris. They had good energy and flow.
And they didn't do lyrical. There's SO much lyrical that it's boring. Teams should be creative! :angry2:

You really gotta feel for Zach in H/D's FD, man. You sure they've broken up and Madi's with Adri now? Oh gosh. 
Thought Shibs' FD was beautiful; could definitely used some improvements!

After watching the whole competition and taping each skate (for you new folks, that means recording 
), I came to the conclusion that my favorite ones are again Ekaterina and Dmitri. Just like Madi & Evan, they have a very progressive way of skating. Progressive, is a term we use in music a lot and it refers to being very original, unique and a bit out of the box, while offering a new approach and different influences, you might also call it "experimental" and exactly this their skating is.
I did not check the protocols, but their curve lift was too long, so they lost a point and as often with these types of programs, the judges might not be ready for them, so they did not get the scores they might had expected. That being said, I clearly think that the Shibs were the best and most consistent team of all on both days.
As for Bobs & Sol, I am just digging their programs so much and how they interpreted each single touch of the piano was wonderful, great use of the strings for the twizzle, you could see the music painted on ice, it was absolutely incredible to see and so light footed and personally, I only saw two things that I felt need more work, the curve lift and the section after their last twizzle when they transition, but the rest was great.
As for the second Russian team, I don´t think that giving Lena a "red" dress is very smart, as it puts even more focus on her. Ruslan needs something more colorful I think, so that he can get a bit of the spotlight back, as right now, she is just everywhere and the red dress adds to that dominance even more.
But hey, I don´t want to be too critical really, I will watch my videos later and see if I can come up with a better review, when I also have the protocols Nonetheless, it was a great ice dance competition, thank you very much.

Nonetheless, it was a great ice dance competition, thank you very much.I really like the Shibs FD, but it needs to develop a little more in the way only additional mileage can provide. I think by the end of the season it will be gorgeous and amazing. Their skating is so lovely and precise that the music will really show off what they do well IMO. And their twizzles everywhere are so beautiful. Their SD is my favorite of the season so far too.

To be fair, two of those times were because two of the teams danced to the same piece of music.

Congratulations to the Shibs, I'm pleased for them. I personally liked the FD more than their SD, but I'm sure it'll all fall into place as we go along.
I'd have liked to see Ekaterina and Dima in second place, amongst others because I think they weren't given fair scoring in the SD. I very much hope to see them in GP Final, but first and foremost, I can't wait to see them live at Rostelecom.
