[blue_idealist]

I'm surprised to see them behind Smart/Diaz but I guess S/D were better today.

Rachel PARSONS / Michael PARSONS
Country: United States of America
Music: "Vuelvo Al Sur" by Medialuna Tango Project; “Tango Cha;"
Choreography by: Alexei Kiliakov, Elena Novak, Esperanto Bean
Costumes: Basic black tango drag for both

Required Elements:

Basic tango steps to set the mood and into the
Curve Lift - Level 4, .69goe
Twizzles - They do get huge coverage on these. First rate. Level 4 for both and 1.77goe. And I think that's LOW.
Tempo change and into
TR Pattern 1 - Level 3, NYYYY .64 goe
TR Pattern 2 - Level 1 NNNY, .57 goe
And if I were their coach I'd be tempted to lodge a protest. That's shamefully low goes.
ML St Seq - Level 3, 1.70 goe

I wonder if the judges have some unconscious bias because they're a bro/sister team. But they are definitely underscored.

Score: 68.14

 

[Holy Headband]

Sorry for the random question, but does anyone know where to find the list/pool of RD rhythms that the ISU uses when choosing an RD theme?

(Seriously, though, can we do something about that Joe the Plumber Makes a Porno stache?)

The Parsons lack character in their skating. I watch them just feeling that they look very athletic. Also I'm not sure if I was being tricked by the low camera, but their extension didn't always look very good.

 

[s_parks]

oop, that first level...rip

 

[kevinVchicago]

Whoa
Piper stood right in front of the yellow sign and the yellow stripe and it was like exactly lining up with her dress.
Whoa. That dress is a lot to begin with!!!

 

[LadyB]

Beauty!!!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Talking about originality/creativity this is it But they lack sharpness in excecution, power and speed

 

[Lester]

Bulgarian commentator said that this is a couple that will probably never win anything but we all adore them anyway. He's said this before.

But ouch the levels

 

[Metis]

I liked the programme so much more this time, but there was a nervousness/hesitancy that started to show and they lost so many levels. :/

 

[Ichatdelune]

I love this program, I don't care whether the pattern got good levels or not. This is a lovely program.

 

[theharleyquinn]

Okay, what is up with the cameras at this event?

 

[ancientpeas]

The Pattern!! :hopelessness:

 

[LaArdilla]

Gosh, only levels 2 and 3 for the twizzles?! I thought they were supposed to look like that, so original!

 

[Ophelia]

Piper and Paul are only in their mid-20s? They look much older.

That should be a mandatory one point deduction. At least.

 

[glorybox6]

I love Piper and Paul but they looked very cautious and not very crisp out there.

 

[cathlen]

Gosh, only levels 2 and 3 for the twizzles?! I thought they were supposed to look like that, so original!

Same xD Unfortunately those were mistakes... I doubt they will got to GPF now

 

[Metis]

That should be a mandatory one point deduction. At least.

Petition for next ISU Congress: allow the judges to vote on a Mustache Deduction.
