2026 Worlds Rhythm Dance PBP - No Liquids Allowed Except For Crystal Waters

[Karen-W]

Well, Christina & Anthony made it through that. Agree with Tonia, probably the best they've performed the RD all season - but I'm not sad to put the '90s RD in the rearview mirror for them. Looking so forward to their Golden Waltz!

 

[Private Citizen]

C&P seem heavy to me. The construction of the program doesn’t fit with the type of fast, open, and trick-oriented programs the judges are rewarding. Don’t bother doing dance holds; they don’t seem to count for anything.

ETA: Well scratch that. The judges liked it better than I did and marked it better than I thought they would.

 

[PRlady]

That was good from CPom and a 4 on pattern.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh my gosh, that slow-mo of Scott grinning was a jumpscare.

 

[Habs]

L/L just over a point better than D&S?

Sure, sure, sure. Between the terrible treatment they seem to get IAM with programs and choreography this year, and the judges not giving a crap about how good they are, I wouldn't blame them if they actually just quit. What a frustrating career.

L/L should be fighting for the podium, not fighting for top 10. How frustrating indeed.

 

[Wyliefan]

Woohoo! Broke 80 and SB!

 

[Sally1214]

For my fellow Canucks, my other half thinks Diana Davis looks like 90s era Lee Aaron.

Yes, I can see why he'd think that.

 

[Karen-W]

Whoa. 0.08 ahead of LajLag today! That's crazy.

They will be hosed until Piper and Paul retire.

 

[skategal]

I hate this RD from Smart/Dieck.

So different from their brilliant FD.

 

[marbri]

All season (and the latter part of last season) LaLa has been the team the judges toyed with as they jockey to get their team into the top ten. They score top 5-7 with half and 12-17 with the other half. Next season without Romain and without G/P that will hopefully stop.

 

[miffy]

Great from S/D, those twizzles looked so in sync and effortless. A really smooth performance. I'd definitely have that above C/P.

 

[annie_mg]

Spanish themed music playing after Smart and Dieck's programme. Organisers didnt get the memo then none of these two are Spaniards.

 

[Karen-W]

The TES is sooooo incredibly close between LajLag, CarPon and SmaDie - it's insane! It will come down to PCS as to who leads going into the FD.

yea, G/P coming to worlds hurts L/L in the sense that they didn't get to be Can #1

 

[marbri]

Not a fan of random tattoos randomly placed on the body

 

[terisa]

I don't think S/D could have skated that any better...

 

[chewy]

the ISU wanted 90's done fast and they can blame themselves for getting Robbie Williams.

 

[Private Citizen]

Total contrast to C&P. Open dance skated far apart with spectacular tricks.

 

[Karen-W]

Yeeesh - .25 separating SmaDie from LajLag - that's crazy!

 

[marbri]

Yeah but necessary they came because it's the best chance to keep three teams. No chance without them considering Romain failed LaLa this season.

 

[skategal]

Vibes judging wins again.

 

[PRlady]

Yikes. The FD is a crapshoot.

 

[marbri]

same twizzle mistake as LesGacs but 4x's the GOE.....

 

[Colonel Green]

Sure, Green missed a twizzle level, but Parsons did an extra rotation, so that should even out.

 

[Habs]

I feel like Green and Parsons have been skating for 10 minutes...

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I stupidly scheduled a Pilates session so I will have to catch the final group on replay. Hope there's plenty to snark about.

 

[PRlady]

G/P look like a second, not 4th group, team.

 

[miffy]

So we have 3x Right Said Fred which is only one less than Ricky

That was fun, shame about the little errors.

 

[Private Citizen]

Beautiful glide from Green and Parsons but big error on the twizzles. Lucky to have avoided negative GOE. Slowed up considerably at the end. They won’t place anywhere near the other teams in this program
