Politics are never enough on their own. The teams have to be good enough to be politicked. The Shibs have that now IMO. I truly believe their FD performance at 4CC has turned the tide for them. A team doesn't get 115+ for no reason. I think even they, Marina, Massimo, and the judges were surprised at how good they were there.
Yes, that's what I meant. Shibs are now scoring enough that they can be politiked for gold. What I was trying to say is that you can't win OGM on skills alone. You unfortunately need political power behind you as well. If the Shibs weren't scoring like this, I think they'd be politiked to a lesser medal.
