Albena and Maxim in IceAge 3, season 2008/2009

Thanks for the link!
The costumes were pretty hard to skate in I guess...

Did you have a look at the peoples choice voting lately? Tanja and Max are leading with 33% (ahead of Gordeeva/ Beroev with 19%)!

Yep ! I know ! I´m just voting!!!

Wow! good job!
I can still only vote once an hour but since I've been working until at least 3am the last days, that makes some votes too

It may sound strange, but I think we have to be cautious about Yagudin! Laurie from Yags forum has found the link to the poll , and this means that hundreds are activated now and are voting! She found the link one hour ago, they know that (normally) they can vote once an hour, and Yags has achieved 1% more in this hour! So be cautious! Especially because we lost exactly this one percent!
It seems Yags has started running in the game, and I presume he might be more dangerous for Max than Gordeeva... even if he at the moment has "only" 7%... but I know Laurie and her "gang" a bit... they are as ambitious as we are!

That doesn't sound strange to me at all! I was already wondering why he was so far behind, cause usually his fans do everything to get him in first place in such kinds of votings! Well, I'll keep voting and do my best to keep Tanja and Max in first place

by the way... do we have any news about the trial?

I gave Maxim as many votes as I could during the last two hours, and during the last days, before Laurie found the link, this was always enough to help Maxim climb... Now after she found the link it was just enough to let him fall "only" 1%...

If her "gang" keeps on voting like this, then "Good night!"...
We are only a handful (even with Bulgarian forum), they are hundreds... ...
Let´s hope for Russian help from Russian forum now!!!

We'll keep fighting!!! It's already a great thing, we got then up over 30%!!! And if they win, they win. We'll love Albena and Max anyways!

That doesn't mean I'm giving up though!

Petra,don`t worry,Max is with 31% to 20% for Gordeeva and 7% for Yagudin You know that when there is any vote,this forum and Bulgarian forum are really strong But now we have big support from Russia We will keep voting

Hi Petra and eli!

There's still no reason to worry, we are still holding at 31% vs Gordeeva at 20% and Yagudin at 7%. Obviously the "Yags-gang" isn't yet voting as ambitiously as we thought they would be, but maybe that changes in the evening - so stick to your computers! We can beat them!

Hi eli_87 ! You´re the same eli_87 from Bulgarian forum, right? Nice to have you here, too !!!!!! Welcome!!!

Bad news from IceAge! In the arena it was just said that Max and Tania won´t go on the ice today! And one poster writes in Russian forum that it´s due to illness of Tatiana, and that Max is inside the arena, alone and sad...
I fear that this will mean they are out of the project now...

Quote :

Режиссер сказал, что вроде как Таня с Максом выходить на лед не будут

Translation by google:
"The director said that Tanya with Max to go on the ice will not "

Quote :

Макс катается один, очень грустный. Я слышала Тане очень плохо, тут люди рядом говорили она сильно заболела.

Translation by google:
"Max ride one, very sad. I heard Tania is very bad here, people said it was very close ill. : ( "

The second one is a quote from before the show began...

Puh...
So it seems we might loose the second pair (out ot two) due to illness now...

But if they really have to leave the project now (due to illness), or if they are allowed to skate next week, I really can´t find out with the translator... Sorry, translation is too bad for this... For this we need someone who can read Russian in Russian forum...

That are the results of the other couples:
Ekaterina Gordeeva - Yegor Beroev - 12.00
Tatiana Navka - Vadim Kolganov - 12.00
Irina Slutskaya - Gediminas Taranda - 12.00
Catherine Strizhenova - Alexei Tikhonov - 12.00
Alena Babenko - Roman Kostomarov - 11.98
Margarita Drobyazko - Dmitry Miller - 11.98
Zhanna Friske - Vitaly Novikov - 11.98
Valeria Lanskaya - Alexei Yagudin - 11.96
Maria Petrova - Konstantin Tszyu - 11.96
Ksenia Alferova - Povilas Vanagas - 11.88
Irina Lobacheva - Vladimir Shevelkov - 11.88

Another poster from Russian forum writes that Tatiana is treated in the ambulance... And they write something about a serious injury / illness...

It's bad I suppose that if Tatiana recovers soon they'll not leave the show at once(as it was when Beroev was injured) and we'll know the result of the last nomination. But if they return to the show the'll be nominated again,I think.

What I found out from Russian forum until now sounds very strange ...
...During the show the nomination was not mentioned with a single word... suddenly Irina Slutskaya was skating, but nobody knew something about Max... and as Max and Tatiana should skate (second to last) it was simply said that they do not skate today... and nobody gave explanations... then it was said that today were the semifinals... but what is happening with our couple now nobody seems to know...

Strange... Really strange!!!

Risha, if I remember right, Gordeeva and Bereov were given a "0" when they could not skate due to illness some weeks ago and were put into elimination for leaving immediately!

I presume that there really may be no nomination any more,because it's only 2 weeks left till the end of the show.If it is like last year each pair's scores for maybe two dances will be combined and only some pairs will remain in the show or sth like this,I don't remember exactly

I do not know what has happened there today behind the scenes / backstage , but if the post from analgin (a serious poster and eyewitness in Russian forum) is right, than Max and Tatiana have withdrawn / were removed from the show!!!!!

Quote :

analgin 17:43
Макса с Таней сняли с соревнований
Это конец....

Translation by google:
"analgin 17:43
Max with Taney removed from the competition
This is the end ...."

This might be the reason why Max was seen so sad inside the arena... But why all this happened, and why there were no explanations from Max or from the jury till the end of the show, nobody knows...

Whats going on in here?! I've only been offline for a couple of hours and suddenly the Ice Age world is breaking down around me!!!
What happened?!

Baghira, nobody really knows what´s going on there in Russia at the moment! Even the eyewitnesses do not know exactly! It seems to be clear now that Tatiana is ill (for what reason ever), that Max was there alone, but did not talk to the public, that the jury said not a single word to the nomination, that the director (Averbukh???) simply said Max and Tania won´t skate today and that they really did not skate, and now some minutes ago I found the post from analgin that they withdrew / were removed (sorry, the translator gave me both translations; I do not know which one is correct); nobody gave explanations to the public; nobody knows if there will be more nominations or not...

That´s what we know until now...
But there are more questions open than we have answered until now...

I really hope someone who is Russian speaking can check Russian forum for information!

And is there a show also in the middle of the week?
I really don't understand how things r going in this show...

... they are taping on Tuesday and broadcasting on TV on Saturday...

...Seems that they are officially out now and won´t skate the next two shows . It now was officially announced that Tatiana is ill and that she and Maxim are waiting for skating the gala now!

Quote :

Официально объявили о болезни Арнтгольц и сказали, что Таню и Макса ждут на гала.

Translation by google:
"Officially announced Arntgolts disease, and said that Tanyu and Max are waiting for the gala."



Good luck in the gala, dear Maxim!
And a fast recovery for Tatiana!

oh,thanks
So now I am really worried,why aren't they saying anithing?

To me this all sounds as if they are simply out because of the fact that Tatiana is ill; and that Maxi (after all that happened to him during the last year) simply have not had the nerves to talk to the public...
But that´s only my opinion!

Petra, I think the correct translation is, that they withdrew. Now that's really bad news
Max had to go through a lot within the last few days, so you're probably right, that he just didn't want to talk to the public. I hope that doesn't mean, that Tanja is seriously ill!
Or maybe they just didn't want to give any detailed information, in order not to tape anything that turns out to be wrong on saturday. Because nobody knows how things are gonna develope until saturday.
How sad!!! But at least the people's choice voting is going really well... :|
