Petraaaaaa, please, stop Do you know how much I love Raffaelo Don't be so cruel

Btw, I'll miss Ice age tonight, I can't watch it I hope tomorrow morning there will be good news about Tania and Max's participation, I mean they'll be between the finalists.

OK, I´ll stop my advertisements for Raffaello and Rocher...
And really: I really did not want to be "cruel" to yoyva or to you, I only imagined yoyva sitting at home in the US, in front of TV or PC, enjoying Rocher and thinking it´s Raffaello... and that would have been really cruel...
Joyva, I hope you understand it the right way!!!
And only adding this now (and I promise this will really be the last time for today that I write about the two sweets beginning with "R" ): I like Rocher more than Raffaello, the second one tastes toooooo sweet...

Yeah, let´s hope they will say today that they vcan be voted on the "podium"...

Russian First Channel (1tv.ru) uploaded Maxim´s and Tania´s dance from the finale: Händel

Finale, 20.12.2008:
http://www.1tv.ru/ice2/fbd=5381 training
http://www.1tv.ru/ice2/fbd=5382 dance

What I would like to know now from those who could watch it in TV: Are the Russians allowed to vote for them (I mean for a placement on the podium), now that they only have this one dance and after TAT was so satisfied to have put them on last place of the twelve pairs because of this...?

The 1tv version from above as download link, dance only:

In Russian celebsonice forum I found the "hint" that in the partner changing show that will be taped at 25.12.08 and will be shown on TV at 01.01.09, Max presumably will dance with ... Friske ...
I´m not completely sure if I really want to watch this... or if I will decide to run away from my PC if it turns out that it is really Friske he is dancing with ... otherwise I think it might be really interesting to watch what Max is able to present with this most hated non-professional skater on the ice...

From what I found in Russian forum it seems that the Russians can really vote for Maxim and Tatiana . But what chance do they have? After Tanias illness and with only one counting dance instead of two counting ones, they are left on last place, with 12 points only where all the others with two counting dances are close to 24 points... ...
IMO there´s no chance ...

Edit: The Russians can send sms. Send 03 to number 7777 or to 7069...

Thank you Petra for the links with vids!!
The dance Hädel was gorgeous!! Tanya and Max really deserved their marks!
And if only voting for podium really depends on audience...i'm sure our blondies would be first. But no matter - they have the highest prise - love of public! Can't stop admiring with them...

Hi, my dears! Today is a great day for 'blondies' and for us!! Their dance was perfect, wonderful, great, marvellous, gorgeous ... what is left? And we can vote, I sent sms and it is counted. In the program the words of TAT were cut off, so we haven't got the added points But I don't know how the organizers will make the winners. Maybe they want to see how many votes ous 'blondies' will get and after that they will say something definite.
And what concerns the program with the other participants... I have no words here, only emotions... And they are not good... In our forum there was also the info that Max will skate with Friske... We are all shoked and angry It will be a mockery to all the fans... I don't want to see Max with her... Oh my God, save me from it...

OMG... and i hoped so that it won't be true!
I heard somewhere was written that Zhanna wanted herslef to dance with Max... oh they want to make her wish come true? Then poor Max won't flee...
But why so sad and angry? Max is genius on ice, he'll do his best and i'm sure whoever he'd dance with, the dance will be great! Maybe we all would like Friske after that dance

Thank you for the video Petra.
I am not sure about Tania and Max placement but there is nothing we can do.Only the Russian fans can vote and i hope the votes will be enough.As for me , after what happened last week ,i can only be happy that Tania was healthy enough to perform this incredible dance .

The rumors about Friske may come true but i wouldn't worry and to be honest ,from what i see, she had a progress .It is a good thing she can skate now .It is not like she is doing her first steps on the ice and Max has to teach her.Lets give her a credit and be realistic.Max is not only great and talanted skater ,he also has good skills as a coach.So Friske or someone else for one dance he,ll be fine.


I just notice Lana is here and puting everything in order.

Hey girls!
Wow! I missed soooo much the last few days!
Specially all the talks about Rafaello and Rocher made me hungry...
The dances of the final and the gala were really great!!!
Thanks for posting the links!

So whats next?! When are we going to know who won?! Do Max and Tanja have any chances? Can we vote for them?!

It appears that while I slept Petra was kind enough to bring forth the truth about Ferrero Rocher .

This has made for an enlightening and humorous discussion and I thank all of you who participated.

No matter, I am a chocolate junkie and even if my Ferrero Rocher is not exactly what Maxim and Tatiana got at IceAge, I will enjoy my sweets to the fullest!

Waking up to humor like Wondergirl's has made my day!

Yoyva , I´m glad you took the sweets discussion with humour !

Baghira, I´ll try to answer your questions:
1) No, we here can´t vote for Maxim and Tatiana. Only the Russians can vote with sms! And I´m sure they are doing it like crazy!

2) If Max and Tania have any chances, this depends on how the judges / producers / dear Tarasova will "make" the winners. In other forums they talk about scenarios (nobody is completely sure what will really be!) that the winner from finale and semifinale will receive 12 points, the second will receive 11 points, the third will receive 10 points, and so on, this would make 1 point for the last from finale and semifinale, and this seems to be Maxim and Tatiana, because they have only one counting dance instead of two. (I underlined "seems" because nobody really knows about this: the producers of the show until now have not said how they want to compensate the missing second dance from Max and Tania!!!) Then there are the sms votes of the Russians; the first one of these sms votes may receive 12 points, the second one 11 points, and so on again. And then they will add the points from finale / semifinale and the sms votes. And then they will know the winner. But this is only a scenario that is talked about in nearly every Russian IceAge forum at the moment. But nobody knows exactly. Therefore I prefer waiting. And if Max and Tania have chances there, this depends on how what the producers finally will decide to do. Nobody knows it at the moment... And IMO this might mean that the producers have all chances of the world to let the pairs win that they want to have on the podium!
You can see it here in this vid from White Crow: Maxi is left on last place at the moment, only because of the fact that they have only one dance instead of two:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IitH7RxYss

3) And we are going to know on New Years day (at least officially), who will be the winner. They will tape the partner changing show on 25.12.08, and during this they will tape the winners ceremony and the podium too. Therefore I presume that the eyewitnesses of this taping will tell us on 25.12.08 who is the winner!
I hope this helps you at least a little bit, Baghira!

I also heard that it is her choice. In her online-conference she said: 'You will see whom I chose!!!' So it is evident that Max has no other way out...

Wow! It is my thoughts! And I also wrote it on our forum not long ago, but our girls said that they will NEVER like Friske I want to see Max with any girl but NOT Friske because I want to enjoy his skating. But in its way I will see Friske and I can't do anything with myself

Some pics from yesterdays "Händel" ! I´m always astonished that Tatiana learned all those typical Denkova-Staviski lifts so quickly! She seems to have a natural talent for skating...

Sorry, Anya´s ipicture again... . I hope most of you can open and enjoy...

The latest news. Tanya and Max are skating on the show at St. Petersburg. They skated 'Hijo de la luna'. But they perhaps will skate one more dance.

Wow! Thank you so much Petra!

@ 1) I already thought that we couldn't do anything for them from Germany/ Austria

@2) That sounds really complicated! But it just underlines what I think is going to happen... I'm quite sure that the jury (not to say TAT) is going to "pick" the winner. (I don't dare say they already knew from the beginning who's going to win) That's so unfair! Because then we know it's gonna be either Yags or Navka...

@3) I'm glad we're gonna know soon who's gonna be the winner!!!
We can still pray for them - they really deserve it!

AND: Tanja IS a natural! The Handel performance was just WOW

PS.: I wouldn't want to see poor Maxi with Friske either, but I'm afraid he has no choice...

Good night everybody!

So, Max and Tania are in St. Petersburg . Thanks for the info, Wondergirl ! Do they write if Albie is there, too ?

I searched the Russian forum, but in all these 100.000 pages in Russian forum I did not find what I was looking for, I was lost in them ...

There was only few info, because the show is still continuing. But in some time our girls who went there will write everything. But Albie I think is not there...

So it seems her injury did not heal until now , and we again have to wait for their next dance together...

The girls are back and say about the show! Ours were great! The audience gave them a warm welcome! They skated 'Hijo de la luna' and Scorpions! But there were two moments when they could fall but Max was strong and kept Tanya well.
That's some photos
