1) Carina Glastris & Kevin Allison
2) Brittany Schmucker & Adam Munday
3) Ginna Hoptman & Pavel Filchenkov
5) Isabella Cannuscio & Ian Lorello
11) Madison Hubbell & Zachary Donohue
12) Meredith Zuber & Kyle Herring
Music: Bacalao
- Good speed in the rhumba patterns, a little close to the wall
- She did a few less twizzles that he did, major unison issues on that
- I feel like their arm movements aren't quite matching
- This is a nice team, they are well-matched in terms of height
- They can use some more refinements on the basics for sure
11.58 (TES) + 16.64 (PCS) = 28.22
2) Brittany Schmucker & Adam Munday
Music: Medley
- These leg warmers are just a lot
- He turned her around so she was facing the right way, that was cute
- A little sloppy at the beginning
- Pretty good unison in the twizzles
- She needs to straighten those legs out more in the rhumba pattern
23.21 (TES) + 19.97 (PCS) = 43.18
3) Ginna Hoptman & Pavel Filchenkov
Music:
- This music is going to get really old tonight
- Ohh opposite rotating twizzles there, he lost it on his
- Their edges are a little bit muddled on that compulsory pattern, legs are slightly bent
- Get it Tanith Belbin lift
25.85 (TES) + 20.42 (PCS) = 46.27
4) Anastasia Olson & Jordan Cowan
Music:
- They've had a solid season thus far, getting an International, and beating Lichtman & Copley at their sectional
- Great quick hip action from Anastasia
- Good jump into the twizzles and great unison
- I like that color on her, it's a cross between the ever-popular red and hot pink
- He has a very expressive upper body, he looks very mature, not at all like a 1st year senior
- Great flexibility from Anastasia on that lift
- This is the first really advanced team we've seen tonight
- I'd like to see a little more speed in these Rhumba patterns, but it's better to be exact than fast
- I like that crisp ending, not a lot of fluff at the end
28.78 (TES) + 24.66 (PCS) = 53.44
5) Isabella Cannuscio & Ian Lorello
Music: Cuando Pienso/Tequila
- For some reason her costume looks more flapper than Latin to me
- They do have really good bend in their knees
- Good unison in the subtleties of the arm movements
- Amazing show of strength in that parallel lift
- Good character shift into that new piece of music
- Isabella looks a little timid, but Ian is really selling it
- Good job ending it on a good note, nice performance overall
(TES) + (PCS) = 50.03
6) Maia Shibutani & Alex Shibutani
Music: Medley
- I love Alex's new shirt!
- Really great speed and precision off the top
- I love that drop spin move, but it always looks a little out of control
- They have fantastic body control
- Really fast twizzles, the only issue was a difference in the height of the arms
- I really like this new section a lot, so much fun, they apparently worked with a ballroom coach
- This program seems better suited to their strengths, fantastic job!
(TES) + (PCS) = 72.61
7) Charlotte Lichtman & Dean Copely
Music:
- Very tentative approach today
- They still look slightly Juniorish this year, tough to transition to senior
- Good technique, great coaching will do that
- Dean is a great partner, I'd like Charlotte to be more of a Diva
(TES) + (PCS) =
8) Emily Samuelson & Todd Gilles
Music:
- Big improvement over Cup of China
- They both look to be in much better shape the last event they did
- Much better unison
- He frames Emily very well
- She has such lines and toe point, is it possible for her to hit a bad position?
(TES) + (PCS) =
9) Madison Chock & Evan Bates
Music:
- I just love them
- Evan is a boy-next-door and Madison is a Diva Star so together they look so interesting
- The height difference is less and less of an issue everytime
- They actually manage to make the Rhumba look like a dance
- The lifts are wonderful, his tall frame is great for her
26.36 (TES) + 29.13 (PCS) = 55.49
10) Anastasia Cannuscio & Ian Lorello
Music:
- I love that shade of yellow on her, the mustard looks great with her hair and skin
- She needs some more energy and power in that free arm
- I like those extended leg twizzles, reminds me of a la second turns in ballet
- Would love to see some more speed in that compulsory sequence
- I feel like this piece is lacking some excitement, perhaps if they rearranged some of the elements?
30.35 (TES) + 23.47 (PCS) = 53.82
11) Madison Hubbell & Zachary Donohue
Music: Latin Medley
- They are super high energy
- He is just gorgeous to watch, I love his hip action
- I love that she gets to be a sassy diva now that she's not skating with her brother
- That straight line lift makes a beautiful picture
- This short dance is much improved from Skate America
- This is one of the most sensual Rhumba's we've seen all night
27.51 (TES) + 30.05 (PCS) = 57.56
12) Meredith Zuber & Kyle Herring
Music:
- That dress with the full on arm coverings is just a lot to stomach, but she's gorgeous though
- This is slightly choppy for me
- That costume is just so distracting it's hard to look at the skating
- The Rhumba section lacked some precision
- They do have nice energy though
24.65 (TES) + 18.48 (PCS) = 43.13
13) Meryl Davis & Charlie White
Music: On the Floor
- What do you say about them that hasn't already been said
- Those twizzles are so close together, it ups the excitement level
- I'm not loving this bronze dress on Meryl, I miss the orange, but I do like Charlie's metallic shirt
- Get it J-Lo section!
- That lift is really nice
- That shoot through the legs is so cool
- Charlie's hair looks longer again!
38.22 (TES) + 38.67 (PCS) = 76.89
14) Lynn Kriengkrairut & Logan Giulietti-Schmitt
Music:
- I don't like this blue costume, it's more flapper than Latin for me
- They move so well together, it's all that experience
- Great upside down lift!
29.50 (TES) + 26.87 (PCS) = 56.37
