I have failed as a Jess & Bryce fan, Ler!!!! I didn't even remember that were going to 4CC!!! Oops... I will have to cheer extra for them in that case. It's just that often the Canadian champions skip 4CC... I'm glad they didn't!!!!! Jess & Bryce have a really good chance to win a medal here!!!!!

*pfft* I don't like Annabelle and Cody.

Val and Craig... I feel bad, but I don't think they are as good as before. Their FS doesn't have the spark it needs... Oh well.

Why not??? I lovvvve their Adam & Eve FD!!!!! It thought it was waaaay better than Tanith & Ben's at Nationals. And was I the only person who thought that B/A totally stole a piece of their new FD from "In Heaven"?

Evan... I completely agree, Vala!!!! I think his Carmen FS is fab-u-lous!!!!

You're a Tessa & Scott fan, too? Yay!!!!!! That's so exciting!!!! We can cheer them on together! hehe.

Oh Lord, that's this weekend? I think I got it mixed up with Jr. Worlds, I thought it was a lot later.

Too much studies for you, Laur?! Well, it's strange but this year the ENtries are really strong. Usually leaders of the teams prefer to skip 4CC to concentrate on Worlds I guess but this year you see - Jess & Bryce, Marie & Patch, Tanith & Ben Evaaan..

I know, dear! but.. my friends and me are going to love Craig forever after St.Petersburg! I should write about it at least, eh? So.. I'm going to cheer for them, too!!!! Not as much as for Jess & Bryce, but still!

Marie-France & Patrice!!!!!
Jeff!!!!!
Emanuel!!!!!

Marie-France & Patch shouldn't have any problems with winning the event! I don't think Belbin & Agosto can beat them with their new FD. It's not trained enough, yet! So I'm sure Marie-France and Patch musssSsssst win!!!!!!!! I'm for them, too! Here

Too much everything, Ler! It's not just studies :study:... My first comp is next week, as well. But yeah, I'm surprised by how strong the entries are!!! I didn't even watch 4CC last year, because there weren't any teams I was interested in. So, I just forgot about it!

Really? I'm annoyed that they are going to Worlds and not Utako and Jean-Sebastian.

hmmm... Well, I don't love Craig. Maybe if you told me why you do, Lerochka, I would like him more. *pfft* Pleeeease, don't cheer for them too much. I want Jess & Bryce to do better than them.

Yes, yes, I'm going to send them my super-waves! Only for Jess & Bryce, don't worry! I like Craig & Val, but you know that they are not the same Craig & Val anymore.. and btw I love Jess & Bryce more! You know that! As for Craig.. it was after the LP, after the Victory ceremony. Alina, Zhenia, Sasha, Elise and me, we all were in the Mixed zone to talk to Albena & Max (they were still there , to take some photos of them and other skaters etc. Actually, we were in the Mixed zone almost all of the time after the comps and in the breaks, because it was just near the Press zone, where we had nice places to spend time with coffee, computers and skaters
So Albena & Maxim and everyone has gone already and we were still there, because we was not in a hurry we looked around and spotted Craig and Val noone was actually paying them much attention and they were ready to went away as everyone did already. Zhenia decided to take a photo finally and called in a loud voice: "Soooorrrryyyy!!!!!!!!!" Craig turned round and looked at Zhenia. "Sorry, can I take a photo of you?" "Sure" - Craig smiled - "What should I do?" "Nothing, Craig just smile! " Zhenia took the photo. Craig seemed to be very flattered that someone decided to take a photo of him so he came to Zhenia and gave her his bouquet they were given with Val at the Ceremony!!!!!!! He thanked her: "It's for you!" it was super nice & cute of him, sestrichka!!!!!!!!!! So we all are in love with Craig!!!!! Zhenia brought this bouquet to Moscow hehe a nice memory from the GPF!
So Alleeeeeeeeeeez, Jess & Bryce!!!!!!!!!!!!
and allez Val & Craig, too.. Goooo, Canada!!!!!! Gooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY Marie-France and Patrice!!!

Yay! Marie-France & Patch are 0.82 ahead!!! It's not bad for the Complusory!!! And I wish 4th and 5th places were a biiiiiiiit higher I mean I'm not a fan of the 3rd actually Go Tessa!!!! Go Lauren!!!! Yes, sestrichka, go!!!
I'm quite enjoying the results of the CD!
Thanks, Shanti, for posting them!

8 Jessica DUBE / Bryce DAVISON CAN 53.39

8th? How can it be? Does anyone know what happened?

All I heard was that she popped her SBS triple Sal. That probably really destroyed their base mark, and the 7 teams that beat them are really strong.

Oh, that would explain it. Thanks, Grace! I realllllly hope the LP goes better.

Jess & Bryce are really going to need some luck in the LP, sestrichka!!! After being injured all season, I guess I cannot expect them to be perfect. I didn't, either!!! I just hoped that they would be. Anyhow, Val & Craig are quite high in the standings! That's nice for them. And your story about Craig was super cute, Lerochka!!! Thank you for telling me it!!! It was so nice & funny of him to give your friend his flowers! I can see why you'd like him so much!!!! I don't think he is a bad guy, he seems nice... I just don't think Val & Craig are as good, anymore.

Wheeeeeeee!!!!! Marie & Patch are in first!!!!!!! Higher than Tanith & Ben? That's.so.fab. I want Tessa & Scott to be 3rd... I don't believe that Meryl & Charlie are at all better than them. I like them, but not as much!!! And looool!!! Go Lauren? Yes, goooo Lauren!!!!!

Meryl and Charlie get no love here. Except from me apparently. Goooooooo Meryl and Charlie!

Actually, I'm not surprised they beat V/M in compulsories because Meryl and Charlie have really really stellar compulsories and, from what I've seen of them, Tessa and Scott don't so much. But I'll be surprised if D/W manage to stay ahead, so I'm sure all you V/M girls will be happier later in the competition.

I read on another board Ben stumbled and had a hand on ice. Considering this Tanith/Ben's score is pretty high, ain't it?

I heard that, too, and yes, considering that, their score is extremely high. Hmmmm... interesting.

I can't believe that I'm actually cheering for B/A over D/L. Talk about things I never thought I'd do...

OMG!!!! EVAN!!!!!!

I have just seen the OD!
Tessa and Scott were gorgeous!!!!
D/L were also quite good and interesting.
Ben was verrrrrry good as well, and Tanith (sooooory) was very Navkaish - as she always is.
I also liked the patner of the 4th pair and disliked the girl.
