In a different note, sometimes I think there are too many teams at Gadbois, I see some weird influences: What's that at min. 1:00? Is that Madi's snake in P&C FD?

Well sam chouinard did work on C/B free this year!
Clearly he did gabriella and guillaume character step sequence, i don't like it.
Peepsquick : GREAT IDEA. I would love to see them working with benoit.
Hello everyone! I'm actually a huge fan of Gabriella and Guillaume. I've never posted here before, but I just couldn't resist this time. I just absolutely loved both of their performances this season and I can't wait to see how they'll shape up towards the end of the season!

Sylvia already tweeted it to him.
ETA:
But yes, it is cool that he took an interest, if that was the point of your post. :agree:

This literally left me speechless at first, I just didn't know what to think. Usually, I immediately jump on the computer and ramble on about their new programs but here, I needed to rewatch and collect my thoughts. I guess I expected something maybe more radical with much more slam and less music. So at first, I was kind of disappointed but upon rewatch, it is a beauty of a program. Very intense, very contained, very dense. So many intriguing moves and shapes and yet again, like in the RD, they finally move away from the program construction they've had for couple of seasons. The spin is at the end for instance and yes to Guillaume's camel position. What is their sliding move though ? Isn't it mandatory ? They touch the ice with their hands but isn't it enough to qualify as a sliding move ?
They have a set of exceptional programs this year and so radically different from each other. They offer the best out of the 80's with such a catchy tune one,two, three you want to start exercising with them and then, they offer you a whole experience with their FD. They've always been about creating a moment in time and mesmerizing audiences but this FD takes it to another level, much more cerebral and abstract.

They worked with Antonio Najarro, a very famous flamenco dancer in Spain. He's worked with figure skaters for a while now — you may be familiar with him from such programs as Lambiel's Poeta, Javi's Malagueña, or Anissina/Peizerat's Olys OD.
rewatching the Fd: the last set of twizzles. if i am not mistaken, they did a different amount of rotations. gabby did 3 and guillaume 4. did anybody notice that or am I wrong. in the protocols, there was no call and the goe were +4/5 so they didn't notice a fault (it would be a huge fault )so I cannot be right.

I can't remember the moment and haven't rewatched yet this morning, but by the time you get to the third block of twizzles levels have already been established, so it wouldn't have made an impact there. It would make a difference in GOE in an international competition, but...it's the Masters...

It's not necessarily mandatory:
But the protocols clearly list that they do one, and it will have to be that moment when they put their hands on the ice. Suppose they got that cleared by the technical panel before doing it, so it will count as that...

I suppose we all noticed immediately that something went wrong on the 3rd set! They'll smoothen that out in time for the GP!

Well, let's all be happy that the judges are still giving medals for the quality of skating and not for the choice of music!We all know the judges will give them a new world record even if they skated to Old MacDonald had a farm.

I just absolutely love this FD. I can understand why others might not like it, but for me it’s definitely pushing the boundaries, as another poster said - like the Duscheneys.
Expressing the words like they do through their movement and getting the emotions across is just incredible. It takes skill to pull that off. Scottish Ballet did a performance to Dylan Thomas poems narrated by Richard Burton and it was one of the best things I’ve seen in my life. This reminded me of that - pure art. And I’ve not been crazy about their last three FDs - while obviously a class above the rest, I wasn’t as excited by them like I used to be, because of the similar style, but this has definitely excited me!

Except this isn't Dylan Thomas.
Look, I actually really like goodly chunks of the actual dance. I'm all for them pushing the envelope, and they certainly are pushing it. But that overlaid spoken word piece is so corny that if you heat it, it would pop.
Well early days. Let's see how it develops. And I'll try to stop writing parodies of its spoken word passages in my head (which I started doing about 1/3rd of the way through a first viewing).

No doubt about these two...such je ne sais quoi
Remind me of the French theorists I devoured as a teenager...forever stretching & innovating Fame I'm trying to love but this took my breath away

I think Guillaume can be such a young emo boy in his music taste. This shows.

OMG, OMG, that's the funniest thing I have read today, may I please write it down and remember for later use?
Luckily they dance on the ice so hopefully they will never cross the "popping" line.

I hope they have the 'poem' translated into French, so I could ignore it while they dance! Tough for those of you who speak French though.
