Went with my heart again for my gal Deanna and my homie Nate

And I am going to be completely and totally shallow, I am loving that both US pairs men here are rocking full beards:hap57:

I think the gold will go to Ashley and Timothy or Deanna and Nathan, but I'll be rooting hard for Zoe and Christopher to make the podium as well, unlikely as it is. Go, Zoe!

Since there is now only 4 teams will they still earn World Standing Points. I think there must be a minimum of 5 teams?

Yeah, the requirement is at least 5 teams from 3 countries. It should still count for SB and tech minimums though.

I voted for Cain/LeDuc but I'm rooting for my spirit animal Deanna/Zoe.

We shall age like wine and cheese: Becoming more complex and valuable.

That stinks but at least it will count towards Seasons Best
