As a fan of P/C I wish you liked them, but maybe they'll convince you next season/quad (not the programs, the skaters of course )I don't like P/C's SD at all. I understand using non-traditional Latin music to create something new, and I think V/M does well with the concept. But, P/C's Latin Ed Sheeran. I still don't understand the massive hype around this team.
To go back to the Shibs :
I often say these days that 4 teams stands out for me : V/M, P/C, Shibs ans H/D. Shibs for me still have an edge on H/D because their execution is cleaner (and I think they edge them out on PCS). C/B had level issues, but after seeing their SD (which has great potential), I'm not as sold on step sequences and elements (except that amazing lift) as I am on the other 2 US teams. The "issue" with C/B is that they have 2 weeks before their 2nd GP.
As of today still, Shibs are U.S. no.1 in the eye of the judges, and they'll work really hard to stay there. (I like Shibs AS MUCH AS H/D by the way).
And those who thinks that H/D might get it because they prefer their skating : execution MATTERS. And as long as Shibs do it squeaky clean, judges won't reward anything else. Execution IS part of the Skating Skills, and no teams can beat Shibs at that game. None.
