bravo Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin!!!!

Anyone watching live tonight? I will probably tape it!

I'm watching it live tonight. But I have an exam tomorrow... It will be very hard for me. Therefor I decided to watch only last two groups. But I couldn't calculate when I should wake up for that. Because I couldn't find the schedule which shows which skaters will exactly start when. There were this kind of schedules for Worlds and Euros... Can anybody find that???

Edit: Okay okay I found it.

Here is it:

I'll definitely be watching tonight on NBC. Hopefully they show some of the earlier groups in addition to the later groups. Go Meryl and Charlie!!

Tessa & Scott, Meryl & Charlie - BRA-VO!!! Especially Tessa& Scott!! Their OD took my breath away, literally They were amazing, they were fabulous technically and artistically, I felt as if I was in Spain, watching flamenco. Their OD was absolutely a masterpiece. The straightline footwork.... perfect!!
Meryl & Charlie didn't move me that much but they were perfect too, the whole character of the dance was great and I really loved it. As for Oksana&Maxim I do hope they will finish Olympics off the podium. I have no idea what they get so high scores for, I don't like the way they skate. Our commentators also pointed out their technical shortcomings. It all seems to be fixed for me, the scores they get. I would place them at least after Faiella/Scali, who were much better IMO.
Isa & Olivier had a wonderful OD and I love the song they used in the first part but they looked tense to me. It's a pity that they won't medal here But I expected this, the long break must have influenced them. Natalie & Fabianne did really well, I enjoyed their program and agree with their placement. Kerrs were great but didn't look as fresh as they could and they had the twizzle problem again I wish them the best of luck of course And much as I adore them I think Khoklova and Novitzky were better in the OD. But I like the Kerrs more so it's not so bad
Oh, and I wish I had seen the whole competition. I watched the 3 last groups but the folk dance is so much fun that I wish I had seen them all
Fingers crossed for Tessa and Scott, Meryl &Charlie, Isa&Oli and the Kerrs tomorrow!!

I'm not a fan of Tessa/Scott but guess they deserved the first place!
Anyway I love the OD of many couples: Belbin/Agosto, Faiella/Scali, Delobel/Schoenfelder, Pechalat/Bourzat, The Kerr's, Jana/Sergei, The Zaretski's, The Baier's, The Reed's.

I just wait to see the FD!

My mouth got open and my heart stopped beating after the OD of Tessa&Scott!!!!!This is so outstanding,GREAT and breathtaking!!!!!I loved as well Maryl&Charlie,their indian OD is very fine too!!!!!!!I am not a fan of Domnina Shabalin and i guess the idea of their trainer and them to take up such a risky dance for the Olympic season isn't payed off now.They are weaker than north-americans,thats evident;)But they deserve bronze,i'll cheer for that!
The only think that frustrates me is the position of the second russian pair Khokhlova\Novitsy,THESE GUYS DESERVE MUCH MORE!

I'm not usually a fan of Tessa & Scott, but this performance is freaking gorgeous!
I'm also glad that Nathalie and Fabian moved up to a current 7th place and I'm really looking forward to their FD wihch is über amazing IMO.
A little disappointing for Belbin & Agosto who had a near flawless skate, but didn't manage to advance in terms of ranking, good luck tomorrow.
Meryl & Charlie, the Kerrs (shame with the twizzles) were all amazing.

Agree with you - Tessa&Scott were sensational!
I'm really sorry Isa&Oli are out of medal contention - Olympic medal would be such a cherry on top of their skating career...

Out of the current top five teams - I like Meryl/&Charlie's free dance most. The final is gonna be so exciting!!

1. T. Virtue/S.Moir (CAN) - they skate one before last coule. And I thought they couldn't beat the great USA pair... what a mistake, their Flamenco was dynamic, fast, hot, brilliant. I couldn't stop watching. Finally they are that couple whose I remebered from two years ago, !!!!! Today Gold medal gose to them???? I hope so

2. M.Davis/C.White (USA) - I have no doubt for that 2 couples that Tessa and Scott yesterday was great. It's pity for USA, cuz Meryl and Davis had their life's program too. Today will be a hard battle for that cuoples

3. O. Domnian/ M. Shabalin (RUS) - I love that couple but yesterday they not captivated. I love them in classic choice not strange and plucked.

5. F. Faiella/ M. Scali (ITA) - ohh wow. That's the Italian style, I could saw ther everything what was fantastic in Italy. Great style, great performance.

7. N. Pechalat/ F. Bourzat (FRA) - country girl and boy performed by Nathalie and Fabian - Nothing more to say, only imaginations LOL.

Unbelievable couple Tessa and Scott! They deserved first place after OD! They gave everything on the ice and everything was there, the expressions, the perfect twizzles!! just loved it!

5. F. Faiella/ M. Scali (ITA) - ohh wow. That's the Italian style, I could saw ther everything what was fantastic in Italy. Great style, great performance.

I agree! Molte biene!

Delobel and Schoenfelder were amazing! They are the only couple who start there act at the moment they step on the ice!

Nathalie and Fabian were great too, but the couple who skated before them were so good that Nathalie and Fabian looked a little less amazing. Just a little!

The kerrs always fun to watch, there ending is just spectacular! haha

Meryl and Charlie with the indian folks dance was mesmerizing to watch, specialy the lift somewkere in the middle of the program.

But the canadians nailed the OD!

Hmmm... fat forwarding one month to Turin - a good chance V/M, D/W won't go to worlds. Dom/Shams and B/A - maybe. Del/Schos - anothr maybe.
Could the world title go to F/S in Italy? I don't follow dance much but they do have some fantastic programs this year.

I know I'm about to sound like an obnoxious American, but I prefer Meryl and Charlie over Tessa and Scott. They were both superb last night, and I hope they both do well tonight. Go Meryl and Charlie!!

I thought Virtue/Moir and Davis/White were just FANTASTIC! now that is art, really I have rarely seen such wonderful OD's.
I do not really understand Dominina/Shabalin's choice for their OD, perhaps a little too eccentric a choice for the olympics, I loved Faiella/Scali and look forward to seeing again their free which is great imo.
I liked Isabelle and Olivier, but in all honesty they didn't look their usual selves, I think the long break didn't help.
