COC was a devastating competition for G/P not only withdrawing but seeing there most likely domestic challenger for a Olympic spot skating so well.

C/B obviously feel they haven't achieved all their goals. They want an individual medal at the Olympics, preferably gold. They're so close it would be very hard to expect them to bow out gracefully before they get another chance to go after that medal. Barring injury or illness they'll be at the Olympics.

So—a costume in questionable taste, a cheesy Gee Whiz concept (“she’s the matador, he’s the bull”) plus Paint it Black as a flamenco (so quintessentially IAM); could we have a truly entertaining hot mess on our hands?

Now that I've seen it I want to answer this, oh my god YES!

Coming here to say having seen it in motion it's a no for me. She isn't wearing the costume, the costume is wearing her.

That's a good way to put it. The costume is wearing her. It looks so heavy, like it's dragging her down. It may make them look slower than they are or it may actually make them slower. They need to lose it. Immediately.

C/B peaked with the Snake Charmer and Alien themes and have gone downhill.

I'm still mad they said they stayed in the game because they had more "great ideas" only for these ideas to be peak underwhelming. Bullfighter and bull is the tired, overdone stuff the ISU is trying to get out of ice dance. It's not inherently bad per se, it's just not exciting because it's been done so much. Maybe not recently, but certainly for countless ODs back in the day.

Totally and last year’s Las Vegas luck be a Lady, whatever it was, you could see that the peaking had turned.

Ah, The Snake, forever lost to Covid and the Montreal that never happened.
