Sui and Han have my favourite programs by far. I hope they have clean skates and take the Gold. I'd also like to see French Team and Aljona and Bruno on the podium. Well, a girl can dream can't she
EDIT: It would be a crying shame if T/M were to take gold for that horrendous LP, the short programme is okay, but I literally cringe or take a break once they're on. With all the great choreographers in Russia, how could they do that to them, or are they really waiting for the Olympics to give them better programs?
This is going to be the most exciting event, IMO. So many potential contenders for the top spot, not to mention the other two places on the podium! T/M, S/M, and S/H are the favorites, but we can't count out St/Kl, D/R, J/C, Y/Z, P/J, either. They're all probably not likely to contend for gold, but could catch a silver or bronze, depending on how the favorites do.
I hope we don't end up with a competition like last year, where D/R won because no one else skated clean. Not that I have a problem with D/R winning - but give me more clean skates!
I really, really like T/M, but it'd be a shame for them to win this year with such blah programs. Taking a loss on PCS compared to S/H and S/M could give Mozer the push to give them better programs for next year.
P/J won't be there since China only has 2 spots.
Seguin/Bilodeau are making their senior Worlds debut next week.
It's not their debut - they were at Worlds' two years ago:

Oh you're right! I forgot they did both senior and junior worlds that season and won the silver at JWC. Pretty crazy.
Well I hope they have a good return.
Denney / Frazier believe they can be top 8. What do you all think? With 3 Russians, 3 Canadians, 2 Chinese, S/M, and J/C as well as Scimeca/Knierim is a top 8 possible for them?
