Ice dancing

So how cute are candian Ice dancing pair Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir?























Here they are skating to Pink Floyd last year:
Am stoked that their compulsory dance was recieved so well.
After last night they sit in second place behind the Russians.
Who, though not my favorite, really set the standard:

























Can't seem to ever enjoy a Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto performance.
Feel like under the sequins Tanith is a super uptight beyotch:





























They're into fourth place just behind the other americans Charlie Davis

they'll be performing in sunday night's original dance.

But now it is so complex that even fans like myself have a hard time understanding the scores. The idea was to limit cheating but it seems like all it has done is disguise the judges' bias. Makes me kind of miss this:
Even if it is total cheese, I loved this program. At least we knew the judges had cheated.
Here is a link with the detailed score breakdowns.
