Like the dance,love the profail.Whoever wrote that was awful , well my appology but the fall wasn't as noticeble as some other falls in this episode for example, the speed was good and the choreography was fun ,.Overal not the best but not a disaster either. Good luck ,Max and Tania and thank you for the dance. Doing good ,and they still have the most voices in FPK, so people like it no matter what.

Thanks Viki for the two links!
Now let´s again cross all our fingers for Maxim and Tatiana on Tuesday in nomination!

Besides: I just found this nice montage of most of the dances from Maxim and Tatiana in youtube. Thanks to litera7 !

I liked the dance and I don't get the comments in the Russian forums.
I hope they stay, because otherwise I may be bored to watch Ice Age.

I had not much time to check the comments in Russian forum this week... What did they write, Evgenia? I hope it was not too bad!
And if they wrote bad about the dance, then they maybe have not thought about the fact that Max in the two days before the dance has had no time for training, but spent 33 hours (!!!) in airports, planes, courts, and with interviews about the trial! And that he only found time for a short shower, but not for sleeping before the taping was made!
I think all the ones who wrote bad comments did not realize this fact!
And in all these circumstances Max and Tatiana have done their dance very very well!

Someone tell me how to vote!!

Do I just click on their picture? I did that but nothing happened so I don't know if it registered.

I would love to vote, vote, and vote some more.

Help!!!

Me too, girls, i don't understand why comments about this dance were so...ehm not adequate. Despite so few time left for preparing the dance Max and Tanya did it well! It was cheerful and naughty!
I just hope that TAT's comment that "Who couldn't prepair the dance at the week time - should go out!" doesn't make any thing to do with our sunnies.
They're so beloved by the audience! And they definitely deserve it. Best luck to Tanya and Max!!!
If to look at the voting, we have nothing to be worried about. No way that Max and Tanya will be beaten by Slutskaya and Taranda.

Joyva, somehow i can vote twice an hour - as rigistred and as not rigistred. Click on the picture's rose button with the word "Голосовать".

Sometimes I´m glad that I do not understand Russian!!!

SWETIS!!!!!
Pleeeeease!!!!! It can´t be that this old (...I think I better leave the word I want to write here out!..) Tarasova really said:

Quote :

"Who couldn't prepair the dance at the week time - should go out!"

Pleeeease tell me that you understood something wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

Tarasova !!!!!

When you have voted successfully you will see the picture turning somehow for two seconds and then you can see the % information! Then you know that your vote is counted! You can vote again when the % information is gone and you only see the pics of the skaters!

And I can always vote as not registered!

Yes, Petra, she said this. But this was not right after Maxy and Tanya's dance. She said it just like...by the way. Hope this her "lovely love" for our couple won't make a bad thing...

I don't wanna understand russian...when TAT speaks...pff.

Swetis!!
After the dance, when they were standing there for the interview, Max was saying something, and then beloved TAT answered only some words, with an expression on her face and a view to her right that let me presume she does not agree at all with Maxi´s words!
What have Maxi and TAT said there????

Well, i'll try to translate.
Max was saying that he agreed with all the comments of comisson and that yes there was dirt in the dance and they had no time for prepairing it. Also Max said that it was impossible to hide all mistakes from the eyes of The Professional (our beloved TAT) and they just tried to skate it well. Then Tarasova interrupted him and said: Please, try to do it well next time, please try!"
Sounds like she wants to see them next time...i hope...hm.

Thanks, Swetis !
Al least not sooooooo bad as I presumed!
Let´s hope she gave a hint when saying. "Please, try to do it well next time, please try!"
Last time when Max had to go into nomination she said similar before, and afterwards she said it was her (!) (and not the public sms vote!) who saved them! Let´s hope this time she (!!!) will save them too!!!

(But to be honest: I more trust in the sms votes of the Russians instead of in Tarasova!)

You're welcome, Petra!
Yeh, let's hope. But this nomination doesn't seem SO dangerous as it was with Navka. But who knows where the danger hides...

I fear the danger hides in the fact that it´s Slutskaya who is with him in nomination! She survived all the nominations she had been in before !!!

Yeh, you're right...but i think that Slutskaya fell into disgrace of TAT...last two episodes Tarasova said unplesant stuff to Ira.
But anyway, voting shows that number one is Tanya and Max. I hope that just this we'll know on next tuesday.

Tuesday is soooooo far away.....

Oh, how I love our dearest TAT...

Is there any way to vote for Tanja and Max exept sending SMS (I mean for the nomination, not the people's choice!)?!
Because for me sending SMS from Austria is kinda expensive... Can we vote on the internet?!
I already searched the ice age - homepage, but didn't find anything. My russian isn't too good though, so maybe somebody else figured out a way to vote....?! :study:

Sorry, Baghira, but sms (only from inside Russia and in the countries of Russian Federation!) is the only way to vote for their dance and to save them from nomination! No voting per internet possible!

We checked all this when Albie had her first nomination some weeks ago! And we are sure now that we all here (as long as we do not live in Russia!) can do nothing!

Petra, Russian forums said (spoilers about the show that is) that the dance was a total disaster, that Max's costum was bad, blah, ...
I don't see a disaster. The whole idea is original and so far they fall in the topic "Stiljagi". It is hard to translate. may be swetis will do a better job. It is all a matter of taste I guess. Some people like new things, some are more traditional. Many people liked Beriev this time, but I don't. I have seen Plushenko dance on this song ...

Thanks for your answer, Evgenia !!

Erm... It was not their best dance, that´s clear, but "total desaster"????

So let´s hope that despite this "total desaster" they will vote for Maxim per sms!!!

Unfortunately , Baghira ,Petra is right and we can't vote but Tania and Max have many fans in Russia , so i am sure they'll be safe.Besides ,Tuesday is the last day and I hope Tarasova will do something about the nomination.BTW she didn't sound so bad i think she was just bitter and a little disapointed that one of the best teams skated and danced not very good.It is another thing that they ,Drobiazko/Miller,Gordeeva/Beroev ,Slutzkaya/Taranda ,Lobacheva/Shevalkov always get the" deserved "score for their mistakes while other teams got tapping on the shoulder and high scores but is a show and show must go on,what more can i say

Well, I read a withness message, and she was sayng that she didn't want to talk about Tania and Max, she was disappointed (I think her nickname is analgin). That scared me, but I decided to wait. "total disaster" is what I would understand from a post like that. I don't think it was bad. May be people expect more after the "requem" and other briliant dances.
