Love McNamara & Carpenter's tango. I liked the program when I first saw it, but I like it more each time I watch it. Some rough edges to work out, but an interesting relationship, interesting transitions, and a good blend of lows & highs within both the technical and emotional story of the program. A challenge.
Appreciate the Parsons FD as well. Feel like they have continued to develop the style they discovered last season, but with a program that has different, unique elements and a different feel.
What exactly is the Montreal style? How is it defined?
This is my definition, which is the only one I can offer:
Soft & flowy music with interesting, original lifts; fast but less-intricate footwork; and romantic themes, generally lacking conflict. Good extension, deep edges, clean lines, few transitions, and programs that belong at a wedding, but rarely reflect the trials of dating, the sex of the honeymoon, the difficulties of the marriage, or the reasons for the divorce.
It's not my cup of tea, but it has been a very successful formula for D&L's teams; and I'm sure fans who crave fluidity, romance, subtlety, and original lifts have a different definition. On the plus side, I see evidence of a lot of stroking practice & improved speed within a team like H&D, which makes me respect the technical foundation teams are receiving in Montreal.
My definition is the
trend I see, not the rule. (Smart & Diaz's short last season was an exception. I also thought there was a darker tone to P&C's free last season, which I appreciated). And to be more exact, this is the Marie-France style. Programs like Hurtado & Diaz's Paso SD and V&M's Prince--which had outside choreography--reflect a different personality, and D&L have, IMO, demonstrated the ability to support those different styles when their teams have chosen to attempt them. Outside choreography has been quite rare for their teams over the past couple years; but David Wilson does seem to be getting more involved and to give Montreal credit, I feel like some of the choices that have been announced this season--i.e. Hubbell & Donahue and Smart & Diaz--seem more tailored to fit the individual teams' strengths rather than M-FD's taste in choreography. (And, of course, it's quite likely that her style appeals to teams who go to train there).
Nonetheless, based on what we have seen over the past several years, the Montreal style seems typically about the "dream of love" rather than reality, and I would like to see more versatility among the FDs. Perhaps this will be the season. They have three teams at the top--to their credit; and all those teams are very capable of having their own unique style.
. What does it take away from them that I only see a commercial? 
. I mean, I already saw it in her account (assuming that it is the same), but I don´t know if they will be reposting everything.
I hope as they mature they will find their own voice rather than be thrown into the great homoginizer that it the Montreal school of ice dance.
Pitbull?
