Bad night for Bruno to be injured, having to do two programs. So the bottom two prepared two routines and one couple did it for nothing? Hmm...
I’m confused too. Why not give marks for at least one of the programs? I didn’t like the two programs idea because it gave us two many “messy” routines. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed seeing Bruno and Katia program from last week.I think I am out of the loop here. Why are they repeating past routines, to fill the hour? Is there a vote? I thought the three teams all went to next week for the finale. This year the competition has not been as enjoyable as in the past (for me) It seems rushed, are there less teams?
She might want to keep it there when skating with amateurs.
I am watching the time shift and I think that is what he said, also pisses me off how the judges (especially Kurt) are selling Katia for the win.I was under the impression that this is the last night of skates that count for votes. Ron said at the top that after voting off the bottom pair, that was the end for the judges marks and Canada would decide the winner. Therefore, I think this is it for performances that count.
Yes, but Tessa is less annoying than some other things tonight. I always listen to my TV with headphones on, I want to hear what she said after Kurt threw them under the bus, I think she made a comment (deservedly so)And it’s probably sacrilegious to say so, but I think Virtue & Moir have overstayed their welcome coming back next week.
WTF? I've seen every moment of every show for every season. What's my agenda? I don't want to see somebody crack their skull on the ice on live television like I did when Doug Ladret dropped Christine Hough, that's my $&@#% agenda!I know you're not a fan. But perhaps you can tone it down now that they've been eliminated. What is your agenda anyway?

Please don't tell me what to think, there's no nasty asides, he was not a good skater, full stop. Sorry if you are an Amanda fan, so am I, but dancers throughout the history of this show have gotten no respect, until Sheldon. Amanda and Colton should never have made it this far and you are likely one of the very few to think so.That's not your agenda. You have been saying very negative things about them (as well as Scott Thornton) all along from the get go. People notice - I notice.
Amanda won't do it if she feels her partner is not capable. Now that they're out, stop with your nasty asides.

Exactly, and would you care to run a poll here to have people say who the best figure skating hockey player is?This is the Battle of the Blades - technically the contestants are the hockey players.
We are talking about the show and if (like in past years) producers are following this thread then I, as a fan, am going to give my opinion, ok?Ok, are you guys done? Can we get back to talking about the show? Good

I find they add absolutely nothing to the show, other than their names. I also find that in public speaking, they both (mainly her) come across a bit fake. I think that Meagan was the absolute best judge of the season, hands down.And it’s probably sacrilegious to say so, but I think Virtue & Moir have overstayed their welcome coming back next week.
No, see why small populated country asked to participate in D-Day, June 6 1944. We are not polite when provokedAren’t Canadians supposed to be nice?
You and Apollo wer arguing. No need to be so aggressive. I just asked you two get back to discussing and stop bickeringWe are talking about the show and if (like in past years) producers are following this thread then I, as a fan, am going to give my opinion, ok?
Yes, I enjoyed Barb Underhill also.I think that Meagan was the absolute best judge of the season, hands down.
And I haven't, I said your boy isn't the best skater by any metric, that's not disparaging, it's a fact, don't let your blindness for Amanda rule your judgment. I love spoon, but I can be critical of her and see Sheldon has done better.BUT UNLIKE YOU I don't disparage any of the hockey players on this board. I don't diminish their accomplishments.
Pretty lame bait, you gotta do better than that And frankly, unlike some, who are stuck in their bias, I would say they won the night.Wooooo, someone's got their undies in a bunch. So to make it even bunchier..... GO KATIA AND BRUNO!

That upside-down lift is a Sale/Pelletier move they did a lot during their professional career.I think Katia and Bruno were the best tonight, despite the injury. Bruno might not be the best at emoting, but he has good skating skills and presents Katia well. I think they are the smoothest overall. Loved the lift where Katia is upside down in the air (it looked like the one Charlie and Lubov are doing).
Although I've become less enamored with this team as the weeks have gone by I still love and admire her energy.Natalie has tons of energy, but sometimes it looks uncontrolled and can cause some mistakes, which happened tonight. She is improving every week and her smile is contagious. She loves it out there.
Yeees, Kaitlyn and Sheldon should (and rightfully so) win as they've got the judges and audience support. I'd think it wouldn't look good for the show to crown Katia and Bruno winners when they don't have huge support from the public. And I'm also someone who values the artistic side as much as the technical side and I'm still not buying Bruno's stone face.Like someone said upthread, I think Kaitlyn and Sheldon have hit a plateau on their abilities, but they should win and probably will, unless they split the vote with Natalie and Andrew. That's always what have happened in the past when there was two good dance teams in the finals, the pairs team won.
Agree with both comments, I can't put my finger on why spoon's routines don't seem as enjoyable as they were before. Are they too similar? Check out her look when the two teams were side by side, she looked ready to go to war, I'm not sure if the pressure was getting to her. Not sure, but after Canadian Girl I think she mouthed "Shit!" Can't blame her. Don't quote me on that, I'd have to see it again.Although I've become less enamored with this team as the weeks have gone by I still love and admire her energy.
