Music: Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovski & Skaters' Waltz by Strauss
- They really have a lot of speed in this opening sequence
- I would love to see a little more precision in the positions in the Golden Waltz sequence
- This program shows great improvement over their short dances earlier this season, particularly in terms of speed
- SD Score: 30.21 (TES) + 25.77 (PCS) = 55.98
Music: At Last by Etta James & Cheek to Cheek by Irving Berlin
- This is my favorite short dance of the entire season and I am so happy to be able to see it again
- I love that side lift where Kaitlyn's body is completely parallel to the ice
- They integrate the Golden Waltz seamlessly into the free skating choreography
- What an elegant and graceful program
- The second have is so joyful and so free
- SD Score: 29.50 (TES) + 26.01 (PCS) = 55.51
- This is about 3 points lower than their season's best short program, so it looks like that twizzle issue really hurt them
Music: Delilah by Tom Jones
- This music is really repetitive and kind of makes me crazy, but I like the program so much
- Amazing speed going into the start of the program
- They too have twizzle issues with Dmitiri stumbling out of his
- They are nice and close on their midline step sequence
- They look very "Russian" in the Golden Waltz sequence if that makes sense
- That death drop always scares me, it is amazing but I'm always afraid he'll actually drop her
- Lovely rotational lift
- They do a great job of maintaining speed until the end of the program
- How on earth did a Russian Ice Dance team choose to skate to Tom Jones?
- SD Score: 27.00 (TES) + 27.33 (PCS) = 54.33
Music: Fallin' by Alicia Keys
- Thank the good lord that Vanessa got a new dress, I've been criticizing that white spandex number all season
- On the subject of costumes, I think I would put Paul in something a little more free updated than a tuxedo, he looks a bit too stuffy
- They go almost immediately into their Golden Waltz
- Vanessa's positions always look a little muddy to me and I desperately want her to make them more precise
- I have criticized Vanessa all season for the tension in her upper body and while it is still there, it is improved
- This team is really lacking in performance quality in my opinion
- I want to see more tension between the two of them since they are skating to Fallin'
- I don't think that will be a season's best score, but it should put them safely into first place for now
- Their coach looks a little like Cynthia Nixon
- SD Score: 26.86 (TES) + 27.82 (PCSI ) = 54.82
- Oh wow that score seemed low, they must have gotten low levels on some of their elements
Music: Main Theme from Dr. Zhivago by Maurice Jarre
- They are just too beautiful for words in my opinion
- Amazing flow across the ice, elegance, brilliance
- Wow Fabian came so close to the boards before the shoot the duck
- That was such a gorgeous program and they never lost the flow even for a second
- What a great jump they have made from last season to this
- This short dance just really suits them well
- This is one of the most well choreographed short dances of the entire season
- SD Score: 33.29 (TES) + 32.37 (PCS) = 65.66
- That was their highest short dance score of the Grand Prix Season so far
Music: La Boheme by Puccini & La Traviata by Verdi
- I love how they start this program "asleep"
- No twizzle issues for this team!
- This is a wonderful elegant program, showing great strides for this team in terms of maturity
- Nice flow through their Golden Waltz, deep edges, and precise positions
- Meryl is almost parallel to the ice on the shoot the duck
- The entrance into that rotational lift is wonderful and the positions and speed they achieve are fantastic
- What a wonderful short dance, I am so happy for them
- SD Score: 34.42 (TES) + 34.22 (PCS) = 68.64
1) Davis/White 68.64
2) Pechalat/Bourzat 65.66
3) Hoffman/Zavozin 55.98
4) Weaver/Poje 55.51
5) Crone/Poirier 54.82
6) Bobrova/Soloviev 54.33
