Hey! Charlie's critiquing my awful posture here!

Who is the curly-haired redhead in the pyramid picture?

Not sure if the Samuelson/Bates Chock/Zuerlein thread has been shifted elsewhere, but Evan and Madison did a Skype interview on Universal Sports about 2 weeks ago re: what happened and how they're doing now:

Very rough recap:
It was a long and tough recovery (9 months) for Evan, and when he finally did get back on the ice, it was a frustrating process for him and Emily, and for one reason or another it just wasn't working out.
Madison knew Greg wasn't enjoying skating as much as he had been -- they'd talked about it before -- and so after Worlds when he announced he wanted to retire, it didn't come as a shock. They're still friends, still keep in touch. She didn't know what she would do afterwards, had some tryouts, was going to take it slow, but then Evan was also looking for a partner.
They had a tryout, and are now looking for music! They want to be ready to compete in the fall if possible.

^ I don't know which one of these stories is worse...Samuleson/Bates/Chock or Yankowskas/Coughlin/Denney. I will say John is being villified worse than Evan, why is that?

So is Piper Gilles skating with Justin Trojek? I ask because they were in the DSC ice dancers picture with other teams. http://web.icenetwork.com/gen/photog...f21989908.html
Zach Donohue consistently cracks me up in the pictures he poses for. It's very cologne-model chic, like he trying VERY HARD to look effortlessly sexy.
Thanks, I just reposted what you wrote in the Chock/Bates thread in GSD -- link: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/show...36#post3241636
