Moxie Cat February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Those two scores are so tight, but I'd have more hope if H/D's free wasn't actually pretty good, and the Shibs' was kinda lackluster this year (IMO). Maybe Hubbell will trip. Link to comment

I might actually pick H/D, even as an American. I was trying not to root against anyone during this Olympics, but I desperately want H/D not to medal. Besides their unpleasant attitudes (or at least Madison's attitude) and the damn facial expressions, I don't want a Montreal sweep, if only because I fear it means that all of the programs will imitate Marie-France's ones. 16 Link to comment
Souris February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 I'm so annoyed, but it's exactly what was predicted. I really don't like Hubbell/Donohue. They're annoying and that routine was boooooring. Definite hose job on the ShibSibs. 15 Link to comment

Lilac2000 February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Nip slip aside Papadakis and Cizeron just cannot compare to Virtue and Moir. Especially if you just compare the two women. Tessa's edges and knees are so much sharper and deeper to my inexpert eye. My mom, who doesn't watch much skating at all, could tell the difference. And if an earlier couple got a deduction for a wardrobe malfunction than Papadakis and Cizeron should definitely have received one for actual partial nudity. Ugh. 11 Link to comment
Moxie Cat February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Can't believe P/C scored where they did. I'm sorry for her for her wardrobe malfunction, but damn, those twizzles. And I was distracted during the entire routine waiting for her top to fall down. They shouldn't have 80+. 13 Link to comment
COESpiral February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 I'm sure the judges are like, "They're French! Nudity is fine with them! It's part of the choreography! Top scores!". I mean, I love P/C but after watching the Korean team have almost the exact same problem during the Team Event, you'd think everyone would be checking, double checking, and triple checking that everything is snapped, buttoned, sewn, velcroed, glued, taped, and wrapped securely. 6 Link to comment
Karabean February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Well I guess I am in the minority because I don't think the Shibutani's got hosed. I don't find them interesting at all - they do a good twizzle, but other than that they just plaster fake looking smiles on their faces and that's it. No intensity, no emotion. Nothing remarkable at all. Their free dance is also not great so I do not think they will medal and I don't think they deserve to. I think H/D's free dance is much better. Their SD music is meh to me, but I don't see how the Shibs are so far and away better. 5 Link to comment

Moxie Cat February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Did anyone else think that Hubbell looked slightly off-balance during the second twizzle? It even looks like she's grimacing as she's doing it. But all Tanith said was "wow." 3 Link to comment

twoods February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Watched the Shibs again and am even more sad that they are in fourth after such a great performance. They were better than the French and coy Americans. Do they have to do the seduction faces to get the other .5 or 1 point? Yuck. Those faces do nothing for me and look completely ridiculous. V/M were clearly ahead of the rest of the pack, but their longing faces were annoying. 17 Link to comment
