The video on youtube, while from TSN, is much worse than the video on the TSN website. I always watch it on the TSN website because the youtube one is too buffery.

Thanks, I did watch that one, but I'm trying to find one I can download and save. I don't know how to download from that site (I can from youtube but the quality sucked). I was thinking/hoping maybe there was a V&M fan site or something with better videos, but I guess not.

I'm sure pani would've found it.

Is that geo-blocked? Because it won't load for me

**Cherub721** · 01-25-2013, 03:15 AM

Yes, but if you click figure skating on the bottom left, you can get the videos. Yay for poor site design.

I'm in Canada and have still been geoblocked by the site...

idk about you guys but i cant stop watching tessa and scott's sd! they improved it so much! i've also noticed that their performance of the polka pattern has become more sharper and crisper and peppy. their sd now captures the lightheartedness of the polka

**clarie** · 01-26-2013, 08:45 PM

And I keep watchin the FD......I just love love love the new ending.....that choreo lift looks difficult, but more comfortable for them. That part where she kicks and goes down still makes me cringe, not because I don't like it but I'm always afraid she going to hurt her knee (it comes from being so careful of mine after breaking the knee-cap last year). Anyway after I let it sink in for a few days, I think this is one wonderful FD and I hope they they get the kinks out and kick butt at Worlds. There's not another team who can hold a candle to them in my mind.

I am still on cloud nine from seeing them last week. They were so close when they were practicing their free dance - I couldn't think of any celebrity I would rather be that near to. I wondered if I had built Carmen up too much in my mind and I would be disappointed but it had the opposite affect. It felt so real - I felt shattered at the end for Scott. I love the new ending - to me it portrayed a glimmer of hope - followed by the emphatic shake of Tessa's head/torso and you knew this wasn't going to have a happy ending. I still have chills when I remember it.

you are so lucky you got to see carmen live

i kinda hope that they will preform a shortened version of carmen for soi this year like they performed a shortened version of mahler back in 2010
(i also hope tessa and jbutt do a routine together

)

I keep watching it as well, and I love that part after the yankee polka where Scott's twisting from side to side as Tessa kind of follows. It reminds me of a game of hide and seek, and I love that playful childhood feel they put into the program.

ETA: I meant to say peakaboo, but hide and seek works as well I guess haha

So. Nationals inflation aside - anyone freaking out yet?

**pani** · 01-27-2013, 12:02 AM

Just watched USA Nationals FD. I am dissapointed in Tracy Wilson. Now i understand, what people talking about her comments on USA and Canada TV difference.
Could she gave good feed-back to Tessa and Scott? I am not sure.
Did Kurt Brauning didnt work on NBC anymore?

I am glad now that the Canadian judges were tough on V&M after seeing the ridiculously high scores for D&W. I just do not understand why D&W get such high scores. Someone has to explain that to me.

**The Accordion** · 01-27-2013, 12:05 AM

Yeah - the talent in US dance is unbelievable right now!

**rainbowkisses** · 01-27-2013, 12:09 AM

197.44

oh nationals inflation never ceases to amaze me
im surprised they didnt get 300 because their performance definitely deserved 300
